He tweeted this today “If it’s not Floyd then who ever he fights, good luck. All this waiting around is not good for boxing fans and the fighters…Left this with my team and Golden Boy Promotions. Don’t want to disappoint fans and keep them waiting, & don’t want to keep myself waiting…Meeting @GoldenBoyBoxing next week to see what my next moves are. Sorry to keep you all waiting."
What a whining little beeatch if he is so sorry then for making fans wait a week than why isn't he sorry for not fighting for almost a year.

“If we had the defense we should have had we would be the best fighter in the world. That’s the downfall of me and Manny Pacquiao – we’re both offensively the best fighters in the world, but defensively we’re not the best.”

I barely hear anything from Chavez Jr unless he has a fight coming up. The difference between Chavez Jr compared to Khan and Broner is that, he'll take his loses and come back to fight another day. On the other hand, Khan and Broner can't take a lose without dragging Floyd and Manny down with them as if they're on the same level as them.
Yes but ppl go as low as discrediting his win on maidana then they think a roided Peterson's win on Khan was legit too? Thats just pathetic.
Cant compare khan and broner. Khan doesnt copy someone like Naz for instance and has self belief cuz thats what keeps u up in that ring. Theres nothing wrong with asking for a floyd fite especially when you are being considered for it and thinking that the likes of Ortiz and Guerrero have gotten it.
Both Chavez and Canelo were handed gift titles where as Khan took it off a real champion and defended against legit fiters. Khan ASKED for Maidana even though his team was hesitant and asking for Maidana to step aside dont forget.
Chavez jr is worse than Khan with his self entitlement and being handed everything yet he never gets the abuse khan does.

I think Khan sees and talks about himself as one of the best fighters in the world, whereas everyone else sees him differently and they get annoyed at this, calling him delusional etc.
Khan is funny, even when he gets knocked out he'll tell you he'd win the rematch. Nothing seems to get him down or humble him, and that bothers a lot of people.
Ding! Ding! Ding! And We Have a Winner! I just dislike how he always runs his mouth as if he's a top P4P fighter. He always quick to blame his trainers for his losses, etc, and has never hold himself accountable for his mistakes. I dislike Broner for the exact same reason. Those guys run their mouths like they're in the top 3-5 P4P list, while Ward and Bradley have the same beliefs that they're top P4P fighter, they just simply let their work in the ring do all the talking for them.

I think so too, people would say there is something about him that rubs them the wrong way but which way? He isn't even the most delusion boxer out there, he isn't the most trash talker out there, he is just like any other boxer who thinks he is the best in the world. People are basically hating him because of who he is.
Ive noticed ppl make offensive jokes on Khan and theyre laughed off and its suppose to be taken lightly. Try making a pun on any other race and see what happens. Chavez Jr with his self entitlement is worse than Khan yet.... oh well
They didn't even have confidence he could beat Alexander. That says it all. This is clearly a cashout attempt. No one should be supporting it.
I think thats harsh. No one would fight Devon Alexander if a Floyd was a possibility. I think Khan thought it was a done deal.
It is ironic though considering the Bradley - Khan - Pacquiao situation.
Gayweather sent Khan a contract
He'd be foolish to fight Devon
Its clearly obvious Gayweather has had second thoughts and now probably wants to fight Maidana, easy 12 UD
People saying Khan should have fought Devon? Why if Floyd had sent Khan a contract to sign, its obvious GBP and Floyd didnt want Khan fighting Devon incase he lost. Khan just needs to forget about the shook gayweather and fight someone else
I just think he is annoying and self entitled. He really just rubs me the wrong way, it's hard to explain. Honestly I probably hate him more than any other active boxer in the world.
IMO race/religion doesn't have anything to do with it. A lot of people that loved Naz, like me, really don't like Khan. So that right there discredits the entire race.religion thing a ton. Like you said he just gets under people's skin, it's just something about him.

This exactly. Maidana wouldn't even be in contention unless Alexander got robbed against Khan.
But the Khan-Maidana fight was 3-4 years ago and Khan is coming off two horrible performances where he almost gotvKOd by a natural lightweight. Maidana would absolutely destroy Khan in a rematch as of now. Maidana actually beat a WW champ and did so in dramatic fantastic fashion.
Cry Con Cry!
LOL@ you calling Broner a WW Champ. Did you mean WWE champ?
Honestly GB/Schafer should be the one blamed they should have made Khan fight Alexander with the promise a win lands him the fight.
I wouldn't be surprised if GB told Khan to not take the fight having no idea that Maidana would emerge along w/overestimating Khan's appeal.
But if he gets the fight all this posturing is purposely done by Floyd to rattle the brit.
Sure, let's blame the promoter for Khan not fighting Alexander.
Shouldn't a certain Floyd Mayweather be at the rough end of the stick for this situation rather than Khan?
Amir Khan turned down the Alexander fight because it was Mayweather's team that got in touch with him with regards to a potential fight, they were the ones that drafted the contract and sent it to team Khan. He simply did what any young athlete would do, he took the biggest opportunity presented to him, he signed the contract, he wanted and still wants the fight. It is Mayweather who has not only disrespected his possible opponent but played with the fans and the sport as a whole.
Khan only has himself to blame. He decided to sit around and not risk an Alexander fight in case it jeopardised a potential Floyd fight. Now it looks like he might be fighting the likes of Alexander for not only no belt but also less money.
I wonder if Floyd is messing him around because his father; If I remember things correctly ( I do) Mayweather Sr. is still salty about Khan wasting his time and picking Roach over him. The irony is certainly present.
