Amir Khan Dodging Boxers Kell Brook And Timothy Bradley

Amir Khan

The IBF declared American pugilist, Timothy Bradley, the mandatory Amir Khan must fight in an eliminator bout, where the winner would take on undefeated welterweight titleholder, Kell Brook. Khan declined the fight in a move that has tongues wagging. Bradley beat Filipino legend, Manny Pacquiao, due to controversial scoring, but was defeated in the subsequent rematch.

Fellow British boxer, Kell Brook, has been requesting a fight against Khan, but he has repeatedly dodged him at every turn. Brook and his team offered Khan $7,500,000 for a May 2015 title fight at London’s famed Wembley stadium, but he declined. Last week, Khan announced he would instead fight American boxer, Chris Algieri, who was recently defeated by Pacquiao.

How Amir Khan is looking at Kell Brook and his team (LOL)

Brook became angry at the announcement stating, "If someone said to me you can get five million quid, a world title, fight at Wembley with a fight that every fan wants to see, it's a no-brainer for me. He's fighting Algieri who didn't win a round against Pacquiao, a feather puncher, not a big puncher. It doesn't make sense to me. I'm world champion, I'm calling him out, we want the fight, there's a word title and a bagful of money and it doesn't make sense that he's fighting this guy who's bringing nothing to the table."

Brook believes Khan's declination of the fight against him does not make sense. However, to Khan it does and for this reason. Khan wants to fight top dogs Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, as they are the most famous in the division, guaranteeing the biggest payday as well. In boxing it is a big deal to be able to state you fought Mayweather and or Pacquiao. Those are historic bragging rights. If Khan loses to undefeated Brook, his chances of fighting the retiring Mayweather or resurgent Pacquiao are greatly diminished. They will seek to fight Brook instead.

Kell Brook

Fighting formerly undefeated Algieri is less of a risk. Pacquiao gave a road map on how to beat Algieri in his recent win against him and Khan will use that blueprint. There is no blueprint for beating Brook, as he is undefeated. There exists too much risk for Khan to fight Brook at this time due to these facts (even though the Judiciary Report is of the belief Brook vs. Khan in London this summer would be a fantastic fight that deserves to be made).

As stated in past articles, in boxing all it takes is one punch to mess up a career (then comes the arduous but workable rebuilding after such a defeat). Brook needs to focus on getting an audience with Mayweather and or Pacquiao and not wait around for Khan. Try to get a fight with the legends as well.

Kell Brook vents frustration: Khan-Algieri makes no sense

By Wil Esco on Apr 3, 2015, 10:49a 151- Kell Brook admits he's frustrated with the whole Amir Khan situation, and thinks the Algieri fight isn't worth a damn. The back and forth between Kell Brook and Amir Khan seems to be a never-ending saga that has gone on for years now. Ever since Brook picked up the IBF welterweight title, thinking that would give him the standing to demand a Khan fight, the war of words started heating up. When Amir Khan announced yesterday that he would be fighting Chris Algieri next, Brook wasn't at all pleased.

"If someone said to me you can get five million quid, a world title, fight at Wembley with a fight that every fan wants to see, it's a no-brainer for me," 28-year-old Brook told BBC 5 Live."

"He's fighting Algieri who didn't win a round against [Manny] Pacquiao, a feather puncher, not a big puncher. It doesn't make sense to me. I'm world champion, I'm calling him out, we want the fight, there's a word title and a bagful of money and it doesn't make sense that he's fighting this guy who's bringing nothing to the table."...

IBF Confirms Khan Turned Down Bradley Title Eliminator

Amir Khan, 30-3 (19 KOs), has turned down an eliminator against Tim Bradley that would have determined who became the mandatory for the IBF welterweight title, currently held by Kell Brook. Khan, 28, had previously reached out to Boxing Scene to categorically refute the claims. However, the IBF Championships Chairman confirmed that Khan had indeed been offered the fight with Bradley and that it had been rejected on his behalf by his team. "Amir Khan’s people turned down the fight. Bradley accepted"...

The timing of Algieri's trainer could not have been worse, as he stated, "I'm gonna let him out the cage. I've still got him in the cage. I'm gonna let him loose in another round or so. He listens to me very well!" only for Paquiao to drop him seconds later, in what happened several times during the fight. It became a humorous meme on social networking "Let him out the cage!"

This past Saturday, Filipino boxing megastar, Manny Pacquiao, took on New Jersey's undefeated pugilist, Chris Algieri. On paper, many thought the fight would go to Algieri. Commentators and pundits pointed out the fact 30-year-old Algieri is 5 years younger than Pacquiao, 4 inches taller, with a longer reach by 5 inches and zero losses in the ring. The New York Post proclaimed Algieri would be the one to take Pacquiao down.

Manny Pacquiao v. Chris Algieri

However, as the Judiciary Report has stated in the past, "The Bigger Boxer Doesn't Always Win." Pacquiao pummeled Algieri, dropping him several times during the fight. Pacquiao, who has a very strong core (and at times it looks like he's firing shots off from said core) and incredible handspeed, proved too much for Algieri. However, don't cry for Algieri. He was paid well for the fight and has a master's degree. His record is still great, losing one fight in twenty-one (21-1 with 8 KO's). He should not feel bad, as he lost to a legend, one of the greatest ever to set foot in a ring.

Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao

After Pacquiao v. Algieri, social networking repeatedly commented that rival Floyd Mayweather, who recently turned in a great and definitive performance against Marcos Maidana in their rematch, must have watched the fight. By Monday news filtered out of renewed interest from Mayweather, with financial figures being discussed regarding a fight between him and Pacquiao.
