Freddie Roach says no to that fight because "Amir holds too much" -____- Then he says he wants Danny Garcia....if that's not cherrypicking but Floyd doing it is than your all hypocrites. Freddie Roach is just as good at matchmaking as Floyd is

Khan was never beat by PEDerson. Khan has beaten the likes of Kotelnik,Judah,Maidana,Paulie,Diaz (before Porter & Thurman) ffs his only legit loss at 140 is Garcia so stop overrating things and Mayweather clearly ducked him by running that stupid Poll which Khan won then going back at his own words.
''I'm gonna Let MY FANS decide my next opponent''.
Khan, a guy who is likely gonna get knocked around the ring a few more times before his career ends. Act like you have a head though, no one gives a fuck.
Morons.
Nobody is ducking Khan. Manny would beat his ass and KO him. He is not on Manny's level. I question how much you know about boxing. I like Khan but he talks too much. He thinks he is on Manny and Floyd's level, but he's not. He needs to take out a top 10 contender in the division before mentioning either of those two.
I mean get beat by the likes of Peterson and Garcia at '40, look shitty in his next two outings, then beat Collazo who has obviously seen better days, with only 2 fuckin' rounds under his belt after a long layoff and I'm suppose to give a fuck about him facing Pacquiao or Mayweather? Do something credible :sad:
Really don't care about what Mayweather promised, he shouldn't even be fighting such an opponent.

I wasn't at all impressed with his performance against Molina, I thought he lost to Peterson and the points being taken away were well justified, it's not like Khan wasn't awarded a KD he shouldn't have got. That said, whether you feel he beat Peterson (Which is a respectable opinion) what has he done that warrants fights against either Pacquiao or Mayweather? Just don't see how it's possible to duck someone who hasn't done a thing :sad:
I don't know how much it necessarily warrants a fight with Pac or May, but if either of the fights got made I wouldn't tear it to the ground either. Khan has done enough in his career to be taken as a respectable opponent. He's getting back on the right track, one more impressive win and one of the big names @ 147 will feel the pressure to fight Khan, he's back knocking on the door.
It's not only in this point of Pac's career, he studies tape good and see's flaws, no matter what no one says i give him props he knows how to come up with good game plans. But the things he says sometimes he just needs to shut up. With Cotto and Oscar talking about he got them at the right time. Shane Mosley making come to 142 CW and when Shane asked why since Pac fought ODH at 147 Roach said well your not ODH, implying he's better at this point then what ODH was at the time. Don't get me wrong IMO i think Pac would fight anybody you put in front of him, but it's double standards when it come to Floyd. Also some opponent Pac fights it a great fight but if Floyd gets matched up it would have been a cherrypick.
Agreed! I'm fully aware of the double standards many fans hold(including myself without realizing) and Roach should just not talk on certain matters.
Out of everything you said here, I'll give you credibility for one thing, he didn't fair well against Diaz. But still pulled out a close fight.
He beat Peterson, and got robbed by a roided out hometown favorite.
He was boxing swell early with Garcia, and got caught. Okay he lost, it is what it is.
He beat the piss out of (undefeated at the time) Carlos Molina - it was a tune up. And he won handedly.
He has a tough fight with Diaz, okay. He still won.
Everybody and there grandfather thought Collazo was going to give Khan a tough time, and even KO him. WRONG. He fkn destroyed him.
He really only lost to Garcia, unless you count the home job in the Peterson fight. Which is asinine.

Khan def would pose mad probs for Pac as he can match hand speed, power and combos with him. And hes bragged hes done well vs him in sparring , so take that for that.
Even if Pac picked Amir Khan, Mayweather fans would complain, and if he didnt they complain hes ducking lmfao. Hows Pac scared dude wanted an immediate rematch vs Marquez who decapitated him and nearly killed him.
Hell they even wanting to fight him again even after Marquez's pimpled up chest lmao

I agree with all you assessments of khans past fights but none of those really make him worthy of a floyd or pac fight. doing well vs garcia for 2.5 rounds is nothing, herrera outboxed garcia. Unofficially beating lamont is nothing as bradley and lucas have done it before and in more convincing fashion.
Not to say that khans not good or won't be compelling but to say that the two best wws are ducking him is quite a reach.

Yep i agree, he does that with a lot of Pac's opponents only making himself and Pac look bad when he should just shut his mouth and let people enjoy the great performances Pac gave us. Cotto, Oscar after there fights some of his statements. Mosley and Canelo CW or no fight. Even Margarito he tried to shave his bread off to make sure he gets as much advantage as possible, Pac being a g let Marg leave it on cause he would win regardless. But its still a double standard with Pac-Worshipers with Floyd.
I wish Roach would just shut up man, dude talks way to much seriously something is wrong with that man he doesn't know haters will use his words to harm Pac. Roach also with the catchweights is bugging me out, Pac doesn't need a catchweight, Margarito came in 170 freaking pounds he would have weighed that much even if he came in at 154.
Roach is the same guy who told Manny no, when Manny said he wanted to fight Margarito after Margarito knocked out Cotto. Pacman just beat Oscar and said he wanted to fight Margarito at 47 and Roach told him no. Pac also wanted Mosley, but Roach told him no again and said y ou are too good shane after shane knocked out Margarito and he told shane only at 142 pounds.
Roach bothers me big time he thinks being vocal and honest is playing mind games, he doesn't know some Flowmos are using his words to discredit Pacs wins.
Don't forget Broner
To be fair, If Pac and Floyd choose to fight Khan wouldn't there be an outrage to picking him?
Floyd was going to fight him if Maidana didn't do what he did to Broner, but they must have to seen the negative press the fight was getting, you know it would have been labeled a cherry pick and now its a duck?
Don't forget Broner
That's right. Broner entertained the idea until his entire camp said he would get his ass handed to him in a Eco-safe plastic container. Then he vanished into thin air and fight the legendary Carlos Molina (who Khan exposed.)
What Trainer does protect their fighter? the only difference is Roach is a damn idiot and too blunt and talkative, other trainers do the same **** but won't admit it out in the open.
Floyd sr does the same saying he won't let his son fight Pacman.

By telling them you're going to fight them and then not fighting them (ie Mayweather.)

People need to shut the fuck up, how do you duck a mudaphucka who hasn't done shit?
