Freddie roach reveals amir khan was turned down for miguel cotto before he got canelo

LOL you guys have created a great fictional Khan! The guy who didn't get KTFO'd by Garcia He did'nt he was TKO'ED and stopped on his feet.

Props to Khan. Cotto had to be forced/coerced to get in the ring with Canelo.

Respect, mate. i can respect that. As far as this fight goes, I think last time a British fighter took this big a risk was when Nigel Benn fought Gerald McClelland No body gave Benn a chance. Except Gerald was moving up in weight from Middleweight to Super Middleweight. So Mad respect to Khan...! I think people have confused Amir Khan wanting to fight the biggest names as ducking Brook. which is clearly not the case. Khan has always been willing to take the risks and make the sacrifices of being away from his family etc to achieve success. Neither of which Kell has been willing to do.

Wow. Khan is really making Brook look terrible.

I agree. This fight is going to be huge! You should try to make it, mate. Just booked my Vegas hotel! Im so pumped up for this fight! I got other commitments unfortunately. I am actually a Brook fan lol. But I think the only Brook fan on here who tries to be objective. Your right the British media are going to hype this fight into a mega event.

Got Damn is there not a single superstar boxer out there that has NOT ducked Khan!?!? May, Pac, Cotto, Canelo was apparently terrified also but had to be forced into taking it.... Khan got the whole Boxing world shook. Both Roach and uncle Bob Arum claimed that Pacquaio vs Khan did not happen because HBO was not interested and Khan is not a big enough name. Well both got caught out on that Bull****... Khan/Canelo is already generating hype and getting coverage from Iceland to Indonesia..! Manny Pacquaio got short changed here instead of the bigger money fight ... He got hustled into a third Fight with Timothy Bradley here.

Khan is a risky opponent that's why the likes of Pac, Floyd and Cotto avoided him

Roach knows how Khan is. A guy who jumps that far ahead on the scorecards in most of his fights is hard to beat clean, chinny as he may be.

Not surprised that Cotto ducked Khan. LOL :lol1: Khan would have been the second Mexican to make Cotto take a knee.

If you don't knock him out, you get outboxed and lose. He can also make you look extremely ordinary. Furthermore, you can't replicate fast hands and feet in sparring, it is rare, but with replicating power, you just spar a bigger dude. Amir Khan is the lighter weight version of Andre Ward, everyones scared to fight him and the guy that are willing to fight him will only do it at a catchweight. 10/10 Thank you.

So Khan picked Canelo because everyone is ducking except brook.

Khan would outbox Canelo all day long Easy work, stone feet Nelo is getting took to school and KOed.

Khan would outbox Canelo all day long

Khan got Roach shook

Doesn't sound like Freddie thinks Cotto can beat him. But that's just my opinion
