According to Ruben, Khan turned down Guerrero 3 times. Not sure about 3, but when he picked his opponent for May 3rd this was the reason Guerrero was ruled out.
Irrelevant. Guerrero is suing GBP. Fight couldn***39;t happen anyway. "@abomba22: Guerrero actually excepted a fight & Khan turned it down?"
I'd be surprised if Guerrero lands a big fight. I think Khan mentioned he likes pricing himself out and considering he got paid a million to fight a nobody in Kamagai (who only got 75,000) I wonder how much he thinks a Khan or a Thurman fight's worth since he's clearly the A-side (in his own mind).
Guerrero is only relevant because of his and his daddy's loud mouth.
Guerrero can't even draw interest from his own ethnic group, which I wouldn't be surprised was a primary reason (Mexican) he was picked for Floyd. The Guerrero-Mayweather fight underperformed in the Hispanic market.This article mentions that point:

Man I am serious.
You can take it as you may, but Khan didn't turn down Guerrero given he was suing their common promoter. How can you sue GBP and expect all is good.
I know you are ..... lol!
The problem with that whole fiasco is that Guerrero thought he could sue his Promoter and still fight under their banner. Whether Khan can be guilty of ducking in this instance is highly debatable. Now that's an unbiased opinion.
My point is that I would have liked to see them two go at it. But again, because of the lack of regulation in boxing .... we didn't and won't.
Its spilled milk at this point.
The Khan of a few years ago use to fight good fighters but the KO loss to Garcia seemed to take the fight out of him. I believe he turned down Guerrero and he won't be fighting Maidana, Thurman or Porter any time soon. He would rather play it safe and fight a washed up old Collazo and then tell everyone he beat a real monster in Collazo.
Sorry Box Office, I quoted you by accident. I just wanted to reply to the thread starter.
You obviously didn't read clearly what you posted ... Espinoza didn't state that Khan turning down a fight with Guerrero was false, he only stated that the tweet he was responding to was irrelevant, because Guerrero's lawsuit prohibited the fight from occurring.
There is a difference!
How can you turn down a fight that can't possibly happen? :lol1:

You're being sarcastic and you're entitled ... But that fact remains that Espinoza's statement\Tweet doesn't support what you are stating.
Man I am serious.

Edit: Guerrero says Khan's team turned it down. Not sure what Robert meant by Khan's team specifically, but it includes GBP.
So, Khan didn't duck. Point proven.

So, Khan didn't duck.
One is an article that talks about Guerrero's tweet, second a thread solely about the same Guerrero tweet. Both of which get negated with the tweet I just posted.
Third was just a speculation, which was debunked given Khan picked Collazo who was being built as this huge puncher despite his history only because he stopped Ortiz.
As for nothing being accomplished, I beg to differ. The thread is in the light of Ruben claiming Khan ducked Guerrero. I am proving it to be false. That is all.

I just pulled that **** off the web to raise a point .... Who gives a fuck at this point????
We've been down this road before and nothing changed i.e. the fight didn't happen and probably won't happen.
But for some strange reason that escapes me, Khan fans seem to always have their panties in a twist, because no one will believe what they state about Khan. Again, Who gives a fuck .... Really!!!!
It's not what I stated, it's what Espinoza stated. You've been proved wrong by facts yet you still "don't believe".
Really dude!?!?!

You can go back & forth with this all day and night and nothing will be accomplished. Whoever turned down the fight doesn't matter -- The fight didn't happen and probably won't for obvious reasons.

What have you posted? A Tweet from Robert Guerrero. Yeah, good source.
The fight couldn't happen because of Guerrero's issues with Golden Boy.

Espinoza is always ducking and dodging questions on twitter after Glaser exposed him
Its been over a month and a half and I'm still waiting for the Floyd Maidana #'s
