is he feeling his position is vulnerable at the moment after his performance in the peterson fight and going for the pacman or floyd payday incase he is exposed again and loses???? i like khan btw!! :boxing:
and this right here should tell you the difference between boxing lovers and boxing wannabes. I am amazed the level of stupidity some people possess. why is it I never run in to these kind of idiots in real life, only on the internet. is it a huge practical joke or something?!?! i do not know...
i know what u mean...i cant tell if some of these r legit or not lol...smh...:duh:
The way Khan hops around he could easily avoid Richardson's flapping towel routine. What else could he teach him? He's very fat and sedentary.

I cant lie though as much as i didnt like Amir Khan early on ( I almost got into a fight with his supporters at the Zab fight in vegas). Dude is kind of a throwback to the old days of fighting anyone. I almost think he didnt get protection as much as other promotional groups usually do to up and comers. You cant name another fighter that is doing what he does and offering his name brand and taking it to other cities. I just wished that he would leave roach and go to a trainer like NAZ who even though this board thinks is overrated could teach him newer things that freddie hasnt taught him yet namely DEFENSE.

I've been hearing that Amir has been getting the better of him in sparring, probably why he wants the fight.
khan will give him a good fight but theres a difference in getting hit in a real fight by manny and if khan covers up like he did against peterson then manny would annihilate him great fight for boxing tho ;)
Don't worry Khan will be out on his Twitter page to say it's all a miss-understanding and that he never mentioned fighting Manny Pacquiao as they're really good friends....
In all honesty though, why not fight the dude. **** the friends stuff. You can be friends before training and fighting and then after the fight.
Khan defo needs a fight or two at 147 though before stepping in with either Floyd or Manny.
Fight the likes of Ortiz, Devon, hell even get the fight with Bradley after the Bradley-Pac fight.
Khan also said on a ringside interview that he hopes 2 fight floyd after a warm 147 fight, he then went on 2 say him and manny don't spar together anymore cause they might fight in the future.
Well... I thought they had stopped training together so much due to them possibly fighting each other some day.
Anyway, I wouldn't read too much into it as far as a "pay day" goes. He could just fight stiffs in the UK forever and make some good money if he wanted.

Greed and disloyalty in equal proportions. He thinks that MannyP is fading or will be by the time he can get a fight with him and wants to cash in on the opprotunity to be the next MannyP.
he has such an ego that e doean';t have any idea what the fans actually think of him. He still thinks that he's the shining Olympic star. Oscar is the wrong promoter for him.
Unless something's changed about GBP's plans, Khan will face Mayweather first before he does Pacquiao. If Mayweather is unavailable, there's Ortiz, Alexander and Guerrero to keep the fights for Khan in-house.
Khan vs Pacquiao is still a long way to go, if it will ever happen. So you can forget about it at this point.

'Khan's a crybaby and has a big mouth.'
Least that's what pricks on here will have you think.

Khan, 25 - who won the Olympic silver medal in 2004 in Athens in the lightweight division as a 17-year-old sensation – insisted this week that when he fights World Boxing Council champion Danny Garcia on July 14 in Las Vegas, it will be his final fight at the 140lbs light-welterweight limit.
"Garcia's a great champion, and an unbeaten fighter, and I want to take care of him, and then move up to 147 .”
"Then I'll probably have one more fight at 147 before I go on to the big, big names like Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. But one step at a time,” said Khan.
"I've got ambitions in life to face the best, like Floyd Mayweather, but it's a waiting game at the moment, I've got Garcia in front of me at the moment and I'm 100 per cent focused on him."
Khan has previously insisted that a title fight with Pacquiao would be unlikely, as they share the same trainer in Freddie Roach, and training base at the Wild Card Gym in Hollywood, Los Angeles. However, if the Boltonian is ignored by Mayweather for the next 12 months, Khan will be splitting the Wild Card Gym in half and heading for a confrontation with Filipino politician-boxer Pacquiao.

good point. maybe khan would do better if he actually listened to freddie more ;)
they are friends tho and so are manny and mosely and they spent most of the fight shaking hands and respecting each other too much, was a glorified exhibition match...would be good if the actually fight tho:boxing::boxing::boxing:
You gotta beat the best to be the brst, even if he's ur friend. Id rather see a fighter go after the big fish in deep waters than guppies in the shallows, which Khan/Garcia is.
khan did an interview with the telegraph news paper and said after he beats garcia he will move up to the welter weight division and face either manny or floyd with a possible adjustment fight before...looks like he is in a rush to earn a big payday after the blue print on how to give him nightmares was exposed :boxing::boxing:
