As many fans don't believe on Khan although he has shown tremendous boxing skills against Maidana,Judah,Alexander ..etc ,but on the other side Mayweather also disliked by majority of boxing fans because of many reasons, so my question is who do you root for if Khan vs Mayweather fight is done?
No u r the opposite of that, u don't sniff fighters' asses, u just hate on fighters online!
Cotto and Margarito became top welterweights AFTER Mayweather retired, when Mayweather was still fighting they were still going up the ranks while Floyd was the absolute top lineal welterweight champion in 2006, it wasn't untill Cotto beat Mosley in a very close fight at the end of 2007 that he was recognized as a top welterweight, a couple of weeks later Mayweather KOed Hatton and retired, when Mosley, who was one of the top guys at 147 was asked about a potential fight in 2006-2007 with Mayweather u know what he said? he said I wanna take a vacation with my family, this was after the Vargas fight, u can go look it up.
U say u r a fight fan, if you've been following boxing u will remember that around 2006 a fallout happened between Floyd Mayweather and Arum and Floyd bought out his contract to be on his own to make some fights happen like the Dela Hoya fight, if u were following boxing at the time u will also remember that Margarito and Cotto were promoted by Arum, with whom Floyd couldn't do business till 9 years later in 2015 against Pacquiao.
When Floyd was still with Arum, Arum CLEARLY said that Cotto wasn't ready for Mayweather and he would like them to fight each others later, even after Mayweather left Arum Cotto himself admitted that he didn't want Floyd immediatley, link:

As for Margarito, Mayweather was offered a lame 8 mill for that fight that was supposed to generate more than 30 million, when he demanded 11 mill Arum said no and that's what's lead to the fallout, if Maragarito wanted it he could've done the same like Mayweather.
Mayweather "retired" in 2007, literally months later, the trinity of Cotto/Margy/Mosley became THE guys at 147...who does Mayweather choose as his comeback opponent? JMM. At the time a lightweight. When he gets asked live on ESPN why he doesn't fight one of the other 3 actual welterweights, his response? "I don't fight guys with 5 losses" for Mosley and for Cotto/Margy, "these guys have losses against each other"...why'd he fight 2 of them years later then?
This is ridiculous, Im not even gonna bother with the rest of your post, stop coming in as alts and posting crap.
The Alexander win was recent, Diaz isn't a bad opponent considering he drew with the latest american hype job and collazo had just destroyed a former mayweather opponent. See..you just have to think a little.
You're talking like simply holding a world title belt means something. Why didn't Mayweather fight Cotto and Margarito when they were the leading welterweights on the planet? Why didnt he fight Williams? Why did he fight Ortiz, Guerrero and JMM when there were better alternatives? Why did he say he was too scared to fight Pacquiao?
See, i can humiliate you on the topic of Mayweather because I know more about this sport than you and because I'm a fight fan, not a fighter fan so I don't go around sniffing fighters arses and using double standards.

Khan ofcourse
Its not Khans fault Floyd picks him, so the people saying Khan doesnt deserve it are taking it out on Khan
Shouldnt you be taking it out on the guy who picked him?
Good point. But Khan deserves the fight more than nearly everyone else in the division, perhaps on par with Bradley. That's the truth that some peeps don't want to admit. Khan's only had 4 fights above 140 and already he's overall fought better opposition than both Brook and Thurman. Add to that Khan's resume at 140 and 135 and it's a no-brainer, Khan deserves the Mayweather fight more than anyone else.
Yes he does. 5 years ago. He talks as if he had them yesterday. No he doesn't really. He's not in the top 10 that's for sure. Probably not even top 15 or 20 either.
Yeah, because they aren't delusional and don't talk like they are the best thing since sliced bread after just having struggled with an ordinary opponent like Khan does.
When is the last time Floyd fought someone not in the top 5 of his division or a world champion?

Regardless if I feel he deserves it or not, I would want Khan to win. It's for the same reason I want Canelo to beat Cotto, or DeGale to beat Froch. The current crop of boxers needs these victories MUCH more. Floyd is on his way out, and it will be big if someone can take his 0 before he hangs them up.
This is so cringey. Honestly, pathetic that Khan fans talk about racism because people don't like Khan.
Let me give you a couple of reasons why some people don't like him:
1) He refers to himself in the 3rd person
2) He has an inflated ego beyond belief
3) He contradicts himself constantly
4) He doesn't give the fans what they want
5) He had delusions when it comes to his worth and importance
6) He passes up one opportunity after another to wait for a shot, instead f earning it
7) He's downplaying other's achievements all the time
8) Delusions of grandeur - Again, can't emphasize this enough
This is just the tip of the iceberg by the way.
It's completely pathetic that you think the reason why people don't like Khan is because of his race. It's because he's a bloody idiot.
So, which one of those points applied to him back when he was booed against Barrera?
It is just that today there are genuine reasons as you mentioned to hate him, but it is not as if race has no part to play in it.
Nobody here can be a proud man if they support a crack seller, woman beater, child beater, ped user despite the cover ups and a racist
There is something seriously with people if they support the above
Just keeping it real folks, I know khans annoying but still
I'd root for Floyd. Amir Khan looked wack against Algieri, wouldn't be as interesting a match up as it might have been before. Still got some fast hands though.
Khan has quality opponents in his resume, not everyone is gonna have a Pac/May/Froch style of resume yet Khan has one of the best careers on the planet right now and he gets undue hate.
Khan is far more accomplished than Porter, Brook, Guerrero and so on but they seem to have more fans. It's a curious outcome.
Oh and Mayweather doesn't back it up time and time again and doesn't always face the best but that's a different thread.
Yes he does. 5 years ago. He talks as if he had them yesterday. No he doesn't really. He's not in the top 10 that's for sure. Probably not even top 15 or 20 either.

When is the last time Floyd fought someone not in the top 5 of his division or a world champion?
Floyd has more haters than everyone! I dislike him too for the exact same reasons, and would cheer for Khan like I do with all of his fights if he was to fight Mayweather.
Why are you making out Floyd to be Mr popular when everyone thinks he's a damn idiot too.
Absolutely. Instead of Floyd actually fighting the best time after time and proving himself time after time in the ring.
Outside of the ring, he's an idiot too. But let's not compare someone who's at the top of his game, who is an undefeated champion in 5 different weightclasses or whatever it is. Who has more than 20 world champions on his resume and who's P4P no 1 to Amir Khan please.
Let's not take it to idiot level.

So he's like every other boxer In he world ?
No not really.
Most boxers in the world are happy fighting top fighters to get into a position to fight a great fighter. I don't need to list them.
The ones that aren't are usually guys content fighting at a lower level against C level guys, getting a respectable payday but not demanding more.
Khan stands alone on the top of the boxing mountain as the most deluded fighter there is. And it has nothing do with his race.
Why do people like Floyd then?
Is it because they can relate to his racist behaviour, his criminal past, his petty stalking and black mailing of others, is it because he is black and some need to root for their 'own' (which I've seen plenty of people on Youtube say they root for him for this reason) or is it his woman beating they share in common?

That entire list could apply to Mayweather so... :thinking:
