Amir Khan Discusses Canelo Alvarez, Gennady Golovkin, Kell Brook, Danny Garcia

Amir Khan has vowed he will never step into the ring with compatriot Kell Brook because he doesn't like him and is aiming to keep fighting for two more years before retiring.  

According to the Daily Mail's Jeff Powell, Khan said of Brook: "He’s not as big a name as he thinks he is. I don’t like him. I’m never giving him a fight."

Brook tweeted he would be up for a showdown with Khan:

However, it seems the long-mooted clash will remain a pipe dream. Despite his brutal knockout defeat to Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on Saturday, Khan isn't throwing in the towel just yet: "My wife and mother are always on at me to stop. I say just two more. They think that means fights but I’m thinking years. I’m in my prime."

He also said he would be targeting "big fights," adding:

"

It’s hard for them to watch something like that. But if I had to lose it was better this way than from a sustained 12-round beating. If that had been the case I would be retired right now.

...

But I’m not quitting with so many big fights ahead of me. I can’t leave boxing on a loss like this.

"

Khan looked to be holding his own against the Mexican until the sixth round, when Canelo ended the fight with a stunning right hand. Bleacher Report summed up the reaction to the punch:

The Englishman took to social media to reassure fans and praise his opponent, who showed remarkable sportsmanship to check on him before celebrating his victory:

He reflected on the punch that knocked him out and not only believes it to be the best he's ever taken but that it could beat unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin:

"

I’ve never been hit that hard before. He might have knocked out a heavyweight. And if he takes that big title unifier against Triple G he could knock him out, also.

I took a risk and this would be a risk for both of them. But it is boxers being prepared to gamble which gives the public the fights they deserve. I actually think Golovkin’s better boxing skills would give him the edge but either of them could knock out the other.

"

It seems a mouthwatering showdown between Golovkin and Alvarez is also the desire of the fans, per ESPN's Dan Rafael:

GGG has won all of his 35 fights with 32 coming via KO, while Canelo's only defeat in 49 came at the hands of the unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr., and they are ranked fourth and first respectively as the world's best pound-for-pound boxers, according to BoxRec.

As for Khan, he's looking to avenge his knockout defeat to Danny Garcia and claim the American's WBC world welterweight title: "I’ve been KO’d before and come back stronger. I know it’s in me to do it again."

Indeed, he responded to his first defeat to Garcia with five successive wins, albeit the 28-year-old remains unbeaten in his career thus far and would present a significant challenge once again.

If Khan can repeat his performance over the first five rounds against Alvarez, in which he expertly used his speed and skill to great effect, he could beat Garcia at the second time of asking.
