Does Khan have trouble making 140?

I would have thought 12 lbs over a 10 week camp wouldn't be too difficult, just over a pound a week, and still easily enough time to work on tactics, unless he walks around heavier than he's actually saying.

If he has a low percentage of body fat losing 12lb could be difficult.

You just cannot please boxing fans nowadays. They spend their time *****ing about fighters being cowards and complaining about how the best don't fight the best.

Yet when a fighter expresses his intention to challenge every fighter in their division they are criticised.

He looked small in the Garcia fight. Angel Garcia said he wore high heels at the press meetings prior to the fight to look bigger and said he should move down a weight. I think he can make 140 easy.

And what happens when he gets sparked at welterweight will we get the tiresome as fcuk excuses of him being drained then & all this carry on of new trainers etc?

At what point did I call Khan a coward? I've got a lot of respect for most boxers, Khan just needs to be a little more humble when losing and not believe his own hype so much, once he has got himself back on track then talk about other opponents, he overlooked both Peterson and Garcia.
