I think Virgil Hunter let himself down with the comments at the end about Canelo hiding behind the flag. Unnecessary.

Canelo fainted the left before and Khan didn't move, so when he did it again he threw the right knowing Khan wouldn't move again.

Exactly my thoughts, terrible decision to fight a big puncher like Alvarez.
Still, love the result.

Such a daft fight for him to take, he did well in the first 5 rounds but could he realistically hope to avoid getting tagged for 12 rounds?! Maybe a more disciplined fighter with a top defence could manage it but Khan has never been that!
Still probably makes the Brook fight more of a prospect now, Khan can't really afford to duck it much longer.

Why? There are much better fights for Khan. Besides, isn't he mandatory for Garcia's belt? If he must fight Brook then a unification fight with both holding a belt would be better surely?
How did I do that ?

And Khan wanted to fight mayweather, lol
Brook is a bigger fight than Canleo, but what do you mean by much better fights? and what belt would Khan be bringing to the Brook match exactly?
You do realise this might retire Khan?

Garcia has the WBC Welterweight belt doesn't he? Khan is the mandatory, so assuming Khan can beat him then he and Brook can meet for a unification.
I don't see Brook being bigger than Canelo.
I'm very sorry OcUK but it seems another injection of reality is required.
Khan has beefed up to middleweight, now he's going drop down to 140lbs and take a belt from a fighter that's cleaned him out at 147lbs? Brook could fight for Garcia's 140lbs title this summer.
Why would Kell Brook give a monkeys about fighting Khan even if he managed to take the WBC welterwieght belt and how do you trun that into a unification fight exactly? Kell is a super welter, and top one at that.
You do realise Kell Brook is top level fighter and Amir Khan isn't right.

Do you understand what mandatory means? Garcia has to fight Khan next, so Garcia has no say in it. The President of the WBC said so last night. Khan could be bought off if the rumour of the Mayweather/Garcia fight has any truth to it, but that's a different matter.
Kell Brook posted this today:
So evidently Brook cares more about the fight then you. Do catch up

And Garcia didn't 'clean Kahn out'. I suggest you watch the fight again, this time with your eyes open. Garcia was getting schooled by Khan until the knock out. One punch can always change a fight.
The fight went pretty much as most people expected and it was a needlessly dangerous encounter.
Brook v Khan would be a great payday for both. More $$$ than Brook Garcia surely?
A Brook fight would probably go the same way as the Canelo fight (which I've yet to watch) although it depends on how good Brook's defense is in the early stages. Brook definitely has the power to trouble Khan.
Khan should retire, he's got nothing to prove to anyone. He's won belts, he's won medals, he needs to find another passion.
