I wonder how many followers Muhammed Ali would have had at his peak.

Khan isn't some master boxer. He got outboxed at points against shot Julio Diaz.

Pacquiao is more popular than Amir Khan, so you point is?? Fact is Khan and Pac (even now) are threats to Mayweather, IMO. My point is that Khan might get a Floyd fight because he is popular, no because he is good or a treat. If Danny Garcia KOes you...

And there you have it. If Floyd ever fights Khan is because that reason. A popular fighter will make you more money than a good fighter that is not popular. Ask Rigo Pacquiao is more popular than Amir Khan, so you point is?? Fact is Khan and Pac (even now) are threats to Mayweather, IMO.

Khan is very popular. It always amuses me to see people say he's "begging" for fights. Outside guys like Mayweather and Pacquaio, his net worth is one of the highest in boxing for active fighters. Dude has been investing in property all over the world. Wouldn't be surprised if some kid from this forum got kicked out from his mum's council house and ended up renting from Amir.

floyd claims he only fights fighters with countries behind them. then when a fighter presents himself with a country behind him. he claims they have other fighter problems. floyd fights on mexican holidays so fighting non mexicans is gunna make it flop.

Wow, just...wow. I'm almost speechless upon learning this. Surely King Khan cannot be denied his date with Floyd now. Genuinely ground breaking news. On other matters my dog had a really good bowel movement this morning on his walkies...

Khan is top 3, and funnily enough he's been ducked by the other 2 guys (Floyd and Manny).. Well the Manny duck is debatable I guess but the Floyd duck there's no question! lol agree, I don't think Manny ducked him, Manny is a Legend and he doesn't duck anybody, there got to be promotional issues involved. While Mayweather is a coward and clearly duck fighters who are threat to him.

We're boys, but who the F cares? This seriously would have never crossed my mind. I never would have cared to know this.

I hate Tranny "Gift" Garcia! That said he should have more followers than China chin. Matthysse has still yet to win a World title (hopefully he does), and yet Khan has won and unified. So, I wouldn't be tossing out chin jokes if I was a Matthysse fan.

Makes sense, Thats why everyone involved is hoping for a Khan / Mayweather fight because Their hoping his popularity translate to $. He's is in the running and will be given every opportunity Not a fan but can't deny his popularity, I've seen a couple people rockin Khan shirts where I live.
