One of the biggest fights in British history. Obviously it's come far too late but seeing that it never looked like it would happen I'll happily take late than never.
Two fighters at the end of their career, Khan's been less active in recent years which might count against him. But I expect fireworks in this fight as it's well known how much these two hate each other.
Billed as speed vs timing. The conventional thinking is that Khan might be a bit too quick for Brook in the early rounds although as Brook starts to time him and as Khan begins to slow in the middle rounds we might see Brook start to get the better of Khan.
If anyone is getting the stoppage then it's going to be Brook in my opinion. I don't see Khan stopping Brook. For that reason I'm backing Brook to win this by stoppage in the mid to late rounds.
Khan vs Brook build up

Interesting how quiet the Khan fanboys have been in the run up to this. I remember back in the day they used to be everywhere shouting about how great Khan is and that he was going to beat Mayweather or Pacquiao if he fought them.

To be fair, Khan did look very, very good for a while. Around 2009-2010 it wasn't an outrageous shout that he'd give FMJ or Pac a decent fight, albeit winning would have been a step too far even at his peak.
I never understood the heat Khan used to get. Yeah he's cocky and dumb as a post but he's not the only boxer you could say that about.

Yeah I remember hearing this a lot around 2014/15 though. Before we got the May Pac fight.
Regarding Khan I've always found him to be at least slightly disingenuous. Especially when it came to Brook and his shifting reasons not to fight him all those years.
