So rumour has it he will not fight Devon
What sickens me is he accused Kel Brook of ducking Devon - which was fair, but now he himself has done exactly the same.
Yes I understand he might be sitting this one out in the hopes of landing a fight with Floyd, but that still doesn't excuse the fact he ducked.
He could have fought on Dec 7th and then fought in May
This guy is scared to lose now, Danny Garcia took his heart away
Interesting words from Floyd Sr on a potential Cotto rematch
"Until he fight somebody, he can forget about fighting Floyd"
I just don't see Khan going straight to Floyd. It would be stupid on so many levels.
When Khan came to the US to fight Malignaggi he stated he doesn't plan on fighting past the age of 30. He's 26, if he doesn't cash out against Floyd now that shot will never come.
Everyone knew Bradley was going to fight Pac..Everyone on the know that is,and I believe your in the know..If they offered the fight to Marquez he would have took it..Bradley was up to fight Pac,which is why he signed to TR,it's also why he fought on the under card of Pac Marquez..
Yeah he was probably going to fight Pacquiao but it was not guaranteed in his next fight after Casamayor. He did not sign a two fight deal to fight Casa then Pacquiao. Bradley was not Pacquaio's first choice when they fought, that much is obvious.
That's a yes or a no question Dirk. You should be bashing Amir right now btw, like you bashed Bradley BEFORE he ever made a decision.
Why should I be bashing Khan exactly?
Me neither. Say what you want about Floyd, but he doesn't fight guys who look as vulnerable as Khan has over the past 2 years.
Even taking into account that Floyd revels in being a hustler, it's a hard sell to a U.S audience.
You would think that Khan needs one quality win under his belt at the very least. Ideally two before Floyd would attempt to sell this one.
Garcia's a better draw for a May showdown.
I really just don't see Mayweather-Khan happening in May if Khan doesn't fight before hand.

You got reading comprehension issues?

Bradley did not sign a 2 fight deal to fight Casamayor then Manny. He signed with Top Rank. There was no guarantee when he would get the Pacquiao fight. They offered it to the likes of Cotto and JMM first. Bradley was basically a last resort.

If Floyd's people are telling Khan's people that he's getting the Mayweather fight, Khan would have to be a goddamn moron to fight Devon Alexander and risk that. Plain and simple.
We don't know if that's what is happening, or if both sides are just having a pissing contest with negotiations, but Khan has never ducked anyone and I doubt he would duck Alexander.
I thought about Ortiz too. I heard he was back on December 7th. Was supposed to be on the undercard to Khan-Alexander. Maybe they could bump him up to the main event.
I think if Khan really wants to fight Mayweather,a fight with Ortiz or Guerrero(both who've been in with Mayweather)would make plenty of sense..Even tho you'd still here the Khan is ducking Alexander post..I just think either one of those fights makes more sense then a Khan Alexander fight to see who fights Mayweather...
Of course Devon is ready. This is his only payday. The guy is talking about fighting Luis "I haven't been relevant in 5 years" Collazo or "ESPN" Shawn Porter.
He wants to pressure Khan through the media into signing on his terms when he isn't the one calling the shots.
Why isn't Khan ready?
Khan does not deserve this fight..I won't be mad at him for taking it tho,I was talking to my friend yesterday..He had an interesting take..He felt like Khan Guerrero or Khan Ortiz would be made to set up the Mayweather fight..I think both are winnable fights for Khan,and it would be against a fighter who actually was in the ring with Mayweather..I doubt Khan get's a shot at Mayweather right off the back..

I can understand your point but if he has a guarantee to fight floyd you don't fight devon 1st and potentially **** that up. Same ting with Bradley-if TR tells you we'll give you a 2 fight deal-Casamayor at 147 and then Manny-you take that over a khan fight every day of the week.

You didn't wait until the Bradley fight was with Casamayor was announced before you ripped Tim. I remember clearly you and Rome going back and forth basically every day on the topic. And, this was before he officially made the move to TR.
Despite what they say on Twitter, this is a fight that should be made, especially now. Khan does not need to wait and get a Floyd fight. He should fight Devon. Devon seems ready, I can't say the same for Amir.

If Khan doesn't fight and beat Devon Alexander then a Mayweather bout has no validity what so ever.
Unfortunately that doesn't mean that it's unsellable. Bear in mind that Haye Vs Harrison not only recieved an enormous amount of hype from the tabloids but was a pay per view 'event'.
I can only assume that fans tuned in hoping to see the end of Harrison's career. Khan engenders a similar level of hatred from certain quarters. They'd pay to watch him get beat.
I don't know why people keep comparing this to the Bradley situation..Khan is in re-build mode..He is not coming off a big win(Bradley was),he's coming off fighting two lower level fighters..
Nothing at all to compare the two situation..
