Floyd, Marquez, Pacquiao, Bradley, Alexander and Garcia (rematch) have ALL ducked Khan, albeit some of them at 140, but ducks are usually for life.
Strangely there's even no huge public outcry when boxers duck Khan. They are given a pass and people pretend that they aren't ducking. In reality, Khan is one of the most ducked fighters of the modern era, excuses and attempted explanations often follow those ducks but I believe it's no coincidence that SO MANY fighters are documented as avoiding a Khan fight. Khan is too dangerous - look how he toyed with a fresh prime Maidana, while Floyd had trouble with a shot, old Maidana.
Poll added, it's time to recognize Khan as the most-ducked fighter of our time, and could he possibly the most-ducked in all history if you think about it?
These threads always end up into Bradley ducking Khan arguments :lol1:
Which of course is true, though.
I don't get why people can't admit it. I'm a big Tim Bradley fan, but he ducked Khan. He was very, very lucky to land the Pacquiao fight. He didn't turn down Khan knowing he'd get Pacquiao, it was pure luck.
Nobody's ducking Khan. What a ridiculous idea.
I can't wait for Khan to get KTFO again, so you Khantards will shut up.
Many, many people have ducked Khan but a lot of people like you seem to just ignore the ducking and give it a pass.
I think you're either a new boxing fan or you just haven't been keeping track of how many times Khan has been ducked - you must surely be aware of the public poll Mayweather put up which Khan won but Floyd ended up fighting someone Khan already beat, and the loser of that poll, Maidana. That was one of the most public ducks in history, yet a lot of people pretended like it didn't happen.
Bradley ducked Khan very publicly too, go listen to the interview he did it on here > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5WPQ-IweIM
Nacho Beristain, ducked Khan on Marquez behalf by basically saying that he wasn't going to sacrifice Marquez to Khan.
Many, many people duck Khan. It actually did happen, and continues to happen to this day. Prejudicial boxing fans are just selective in what they label as a "duck", they would rather lie to themselves that Khan isn't as frequently ducked as he is, they'd rather not admit the truth.
Ok so you got 6 votes from your fellow Khan fans who are probably from the Uk. I voted HELL NO. Khan is as big a ducker as anyone as he tries to get fights with Mayweather and Pacquiao without doing a think to earn these fights. Until Khan actually signs to fight a top 10 world rated welterweight I consider him a chicken who hasn't fought a good fighter since Garcia knocked him out well over two years ago. He already clearly ducked Alexander in a fight for Alexander's world title that was all set to go. He wants no part of Thurman who has often called him out. He has another chance to win a world title by fighting Brook who has been calling Khan out very loudly and very clearly. King Chicken Khan seems scared to death to fight Brook in a fight that would not only give Khan a chance to really earn a Mayweather fight but would also make him big money.
Did this guy say Alexander ducked Khan? Khan dicked around for months without signing the contract saying it was official then completely walked away from the fight because of his stupid advisors. I fail to see how thats Alexander ducking. The only true duck on that list is Bradley. Garcia KOed khan in 4 rounds, and hes done very close to nothing to warrant a rematch. Its not ducking just because Khan called him out, especially since Khan has a tendency to feel entitled to fights he doesnt deserve or show a willingness to earn them, he just wants redos and freebies
I sympathize with Khan, but he needs to recover is status first. Nobody fear a guy that doesn't have a belt or a decent resume in the division.
Fight with an elite guy like Brook , take his belt, and then calls out every fighter you want...
Voted No.
"Oh no but that was all those years ago, but hey lemme post the Prescott KO gif cuz that's still relevant."
It's hilarious. Riddick Bowe dumped his belt in the bin instead of fighting Lennox Lewis.
Lewis got KO'd by McCall shortly afterwards and Bowe had a PPV trilogy with Holyfield. Does that excuse the duck by Bowe?
Didn't know you could have retrospective excuses for blatant ducking.
I'm pretty sure a lot of people want to fight Manny Pacquaio. Khan wanted to fight Mayweather. He was willing to go through Bradley to get that fight.
What I find incredibly hypocritical and cringe worthy of the Bradley situation is that it's so simple for these people "oh he wanted to fight Pac", so King Bradley gets what he wants for nothing and Khan has to earn it?
What did Bradley even do at WW, since that's what they ask for Khan? People then reach for his 140 lbs accomplishments, where he last had a meaningful win 1 year and half ago in Devon (Jan,11) considering he fought Pac in June 2012. Even for 140 his last fight was against Casamayor. :lol1:
he wanted to get out of his contract and fight manny pacuqiao :lol1:
he got on ppv 3 times :lol1:
i don't expect a brit to understand the economics of boxing capitalism.
khan pays 2/3 of his purse to the queen.

What makes it one of the worst ducks in history is that he went on national TV talking about fighting Khan on the date that was set by HBO for the fight. Said that Khan needed to "stop running out there". Khan called his bluff and he backed the fuk down and got told to grow some balls by Khan. Embarrassing! :lol1:
This actually happened. I know Yank's have the attention spans of goldfish but go check out the archives, fatso.
he wanted to get out of his contract and fight manny pacuqiao :lol1:
It was well after a year of ducking Khan he got Pacquiao, so I'm assuming he had a crystal ball to foresee all of that?
He fought Devon in Jan, 2011 and Pacquiao in June 2012.
he got on ppv 3 times :lol1:
It's quite lame how people like to bring up that Bradley has done this and that since then, but "at that time" it was just a shameless duck and it should viewed in the context of that particular period and what it meant. It's like taking credit from Calzaghe for beating Lacy, cuz "at that time" he was the second coming of Tyson.
I've even seen people say oh he has beaten Marquez......Great, but how does that change he didn't do squat to get the first Pacquiao fight. So, either beating Abregu at WW, Fossil of Casamayor or ducking Amir Khan gets you Pacquiao. Take your pick.

This part is between you and Dirk lol.
People on here don't like Khan. That much is obvious. The Tim Bradley situation was literally one of the worst ducks in modern history but you'll always get people making excuses for that.
"Oh no but that was all those years ago, but hey lemme post the Prescott KO gif cuz that's still relevant."
You know, you'd think that after watching him get KO'd against Prescott and Garcia, and struggle with Julio Diaz, Khantards would realize that Khan's not that good.

Devon NEVER ducked Khan..It Khan who ducked Alexander just last year...
And people wonder why nobody likes khan. Look at the sh*t his retarded ass legion of fans say. LMAO
Like I said, I seriously can't wait for Khan to get brutally KO'd again.
