Just because Khan made a brave move taking a fight he will almost certainly lose doesn't mean other top boxers should be equally brave and foolish.

this isn't a risk because canelo isn't even good. khan will probably beat him. it's like ggg moving up 2 divisions to fight baldomir.
the lineage went from crippled man, faded fighter, average boxer. i would call that watered down. not as watered down as the ww days when baldomir had it but close. if khan wins it will be watered down even more and even floyd would probably come out of "retirement" to get it like he got baldomir's.

Difference is, Khan has the top guys in his weight class salivating at the thought of fighting him (Thurman, Brook, ect.) but he's only looking to cash out with the biggest name and money fight. Floyd and Manny ignored him so he's giving up that glass chin to the third biggest draw in boxing, even if it means getting destroyed in 2 rounds. He's like a high end prostitute looking to give that vag to the highest bidder. The other guys are serious about their careers and are being avoided by all the other contenders, nowhere near the same.

If GGG or Rigo were offered $8M, they'd move up and fight anybody.
I highly doubt Khan would take this fight if he was getting $500K(Loma's offer to Rigo) or $2M(Which is what Golovkin is likely to get at SMW).

Originally posted by Cuban Linx View PostKhan is taking a calculated risk. He's making $8M, fighting a guy many think will destroy him. He already opened up as a 4-1 underdog, and that line could rise by fight night when money of Canelo side comes in. A loss to Canelo would fill his pockets, probably give him some brain damage, but hey that's boxing, but it will also keep him relevant enough for bigger paydays down the line. He could still get the Kell Brook fight, and demand A-side money. Had he faced Brook first, there would be the risk of losing and then becoming largely irrelevant.
GGG and Rigo don't have anyone in the higher weight classes that can guarantee them a purse of that size, or even come close to it. Otherwise they'd be chomping at the bit. That's why GGG's team has targeted Chavez Jr. and Froch.
If he fights anyone other than Froch or Chavez Jr. at 168 he's only looking at $1, maybe $2M, purse. Is that worth it?
Rigo has it even worse. The most he can get against Loma is 500K. Is that worth it? Probably not.
