Fat Dan reports that Khan declined the Alexander fight. The plan is to make Garcia-Khan in early 2014 and the winner gets Floyd in May. Team Khan declined Alexander cause even if he would beat him he wouldnt have been seen as a legit thread to Floyd and the fight wouldnt sell PPVs. If Khan goes on and beats somehow Garcia, he is in a perfect position to fight Floyd. Khan has his revenge and nobody cares about that loss against Pederson. If Garcia beats Khan again after beating Judah and the Machine, he proves that he is the man and the biggest thread to Floyd and Showtime will have plenty of story to hype him up and sell the fight.
Wouldn't mind it but what does Garcia prove by beating Khan again?
If he does win again.
The only reason why they would fight Khan again would have to be just to get those British fans and pounds...
PRPP :boxing:
Alexander was a much more winnable fight for AK imho.....I knew the rematch was coming sometime next year though so I won't be surprised if this is true!!
I just hope AK doesn't get stopped again....I rock with BOTH fighters HEAVY!!!!....just like the first fight....I got the neutral corner for this!!....I wish them both well....their styles mix well together so a FOTY type of war is always possible with those 2 warriors
If Khan would have knocked Danny out he would never give him a rematch. I know the word hype get tossed around here a lot but I just don't get the level of respect this guy Khan gets. He almost geta stopped or does get stopped in most of his fights and people want to see him fight Floyd. Just an honest question what has he really done to deserve a fight with the best in the sport. Someone has to tell me cause I don't see it.
The problem is that Khan does bring high paydays. His delusional fans keeps supporting him and poring a bunch of money for his fights. This fight might become a reality because besides Khan who can Danny make a lot of money against?
But you are right if it was the other way Khan would never give him a rematch
You don't need to insult his fans man. What kind of boxing fan only supports a fighter when he wins? Win or lose Khan's always good value for money, the pfp fastest and probably the most exciting fighter in the sport. If he's got a loyal fanbase then more power to him.
If it was the other way around khan wouldnt give danny a rematch, no way in hell! so why should danny. Why doesnt khan rematch maidana

Khan was the favorite going in. He got upset so of course a rematch makes sense.
First fight was a good one too. Why not see it again?
Danny could use some more seasoning and exposure too. I see it as a win/win all around.
If anyone has dibs on floyd its Bradley if he beats JMM.

...some men are meant to be sheep. khan doesn't deserve a garcia rematch, dummy. he had his chance and he got knocked out. as a fan you should be able to see this. should cotto rematch delvin rodriguez because they sold out the arena the first time and were the most watched boxing event off ppv this year?
No because Cotto was the favorite and his winning was supposed to happen. If Cotto had lost he would have been right to ask for a rematch. Khan was the favorite going into that fight last year. Danny Garcia was lucky to get that opportunity as a last minute replacement after Peterson got caught doping. Props to Danny for sparking him but Khan is right in requesting a rematch. Just like your boy Rios was right in wanting a third fight with Alvarado before the Pacquiao offer came in. Rios was the betting favorite going into that fight.
Not to mention the fact that Khan/Garcia is an interesting fight that will be easy to promote with Angel Garcia talking his **** like always. Khan was doing well in those early rounds and was going for the KO until Garcia made him pay.
Well if fat Dan is reporting it then how did we hear it here first? Lol but what if Garcia wins and gets a cut that takes too long to heal or something or breaks a hand. Floyd will have no one to fight but Bradley or PAC
I think this fight is a bad idea. You can't blame Khan for his ambition but does he honestly think he's going to beat Garcia? I don't think any amount of training will change the fact that he has a glass chin and he doesn't have the punching power that Garcia does. Khan vs. Malignaggi would be a much better and less one-sided fight. I personally think Garcia is in a better league than Khan. He beat Mattyhesse proving he wasn't a one-hit wonder, that he can take a punch and give one for 12 rounds. Fighting Khan again would be an easy purse for Garcia.
Yea idiot since there is so much money in a Diaz vs Khan rematch
GTFOH
If Garcia vs Khan makes money then it makes sense

Khan beats Garcia. People forget, go back and watch Khan/Garcia, Khan was steamrolling and whipping his ass hands down until Danny landed that lucky shot with his eyes closed and head down. In fact Khan I think would have stopped Danny if that shot didn't happen. He is still undefeated but I will continue to say it, Danny is overrated. I don't see why he gets all these props for the Lucas fight. How many times did he hit Lucas low, headbutt him? Cmon man. Dirty mf Danny is. He also backpeddled all night. Props for winning sure but Danny's lucky clovers are going to run out. I think Khan beats him via UD or stops him. People make fun of Khan for his chin sure, its deserved. But he is one of the fastest punchers in the world, technically sound and he can drop bombs too. I'd like to see Khan/Garcia 2. Khan vs. Floyd would be a way better fight too, at least because of Khan's movement and speed. Garcia is a walking punching bag against Floyd and would take a 12 round beating.
Floyd gets no respect from me for fighting Khan. And Khan is NOT this brave warrior who fights anyone, Kell Brook has been calling him out for years. Kell Brook vs Keith Thurman and the winner gets Floyd. Thats a worthy opponent or Brad Soloman vs Adrien Broner winner gets Floyd.
What you smoking there brah?
