Amir Khan is the 3rd most popular fighter in Boxing after Mayweather and Pacquiao. Numbers don't lie: Look at his social media following. It's the 3rd highest for a boxer. He brings a unique set of loyal fans:
1. UK (population 65 Million)
2. Pakistan (population 200 Million)
3. Middle East (population 200 Million)
The PPV with Canelo will prove his appeal. It will sell at least 1 Million PPV buys. After the Canelo fight, Khan will cement himself as a PPV Superstar.
Without further ado:
List of fighters who ducked Amir Khan:
1. Floyd Mayweather Jr. (did a poll online b/w Khan and Maidana. Khan won. Mayweather picks Maidana who brings less money. And then shamefully fights Berto).
2. Manny Pacquiao (picks Bradley 3 even though Khan brings way more money than Bradley).
Khan had signed the contract on his side for the Mayweather and Pacquiao bouts. Khan put his career on hold, and waited for months for Pacquiao and Mayweather. In the end, Pacquiao and Mayweather picked different opponents (Maidana, Berto, Bradley) for much less money.
3. Danny Garcia (rematch) (his father has said countless times how he doesn't want Danny to face Khan)
4. Juan Manuel Marquez (way back when Khan beat Barrera. Khan offered JMM the fight. JMM rejected it).
5. Timothy Bradley (shamefully ducked Khan multiple times): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8UN6BLfstYM
6. Miguel Cotto (Freddie said it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iFDRo1HFFGQ)
7. Adrien Broner (talked about it. Never walked through with it).
if those left hooks landed on anyone, they'd go down.
"those left hooks" failed to put down Mattesse, Peterson, Judah or Guerro. Face it, your hero might get KTFO by the wind from the first punch Canelo misses
:lol1: he got emotional on you real quick
Ooow booohooo someones very upset :(
Rip lol, this dude one 1, think he needs help, i'm feeling sorry for him
Khan has the worse chin. By far. That was one helluva shot that put Pacs lights out, by contrast, it seems like every half decent punch landed on Khan has his legs going weak.

Khan is/was an olympic silver medalist fed from a golden spoon. There is/was no excuse for him to lose to a guy that was beaten by Mike Alvarado.
Amir Khan doesn't lose he just gets bored of winning sometimes.
We are lucky to be alive in such an era.
Props go to Canelo for daring to be great by taking on Amir "Mexicutioner" Khan who has walked through 3 fighters from his great warrior nation of Mexico, so naturally you might have nerves going in questioning "Am I the next one?", so it all comes down to the how Canelo feels mentally on fight night.
Yup. Pac also got KO'd cold by JMM. Khan has never been KO'd cold. Who has the worse chin?

Khan performed like **** against Algeiri. We all know that. He wasn't his best.
Khan needs motivation to be his best: kotelink, barrera, malignaggi, judah, collazo, alexander, maidana...
Watch how he does against Canelo. He will extremely motivated and hungry. He will beat Canelo UD 12. You read that right. He will dominate Canelo. Mark my words.
no fvcking way, while I applaud Khan for taking this fight, no way in hell Khans chin lasts 12 rds with Canelo and it wouldn't be a surprise if Canelo ended it early
Floyd Mayweather ducked Khan on two separate occasions...openly ducked him! on the first occasion he ran a poll for fans to pick his next opponent which Khan won..but instead he picked Maidana. Floyd openly declared on video that khan has a huge fan base and would make a big fight against himself....he then makes a u turn and says Khan is a nobody..and on his last fight when there was no other big name options for him except Khan....who even signed a contract..Floyd refuses to sign his end and chooses to fight Andre Berto instead.
Manny Pacquiao decided against a fight with Khan and chose to fight bradley for a 3rd time as his last fight. This despite the fact that everything was agreed and it would be a much bigger fight.
Timothy Bradley openly avoided Khan, Danny Garcia's camp have repeated over n over again no rematch. Broner refused Khan. He has been avoided by many top level fighters and it's obvious.

200 Million Pakistanis can't be wrong...lol
Pacquiao got KOd by Torrecampo early in his career, primarily because he was extremely weight-drained and had a poor game plan. Same thing happened to Khan - very visibly weight-drained, very poor game plan (a new trainer told him to try to rush and KO Prescott in the first round).
There is a difference however - Torrecampo had a 25% KO ratio at the time he stopped Pacquiao, while Prescott had a 98% KO ratio at the time he stopped Khan.

That makes zero sense.
Torrecampo had 11 wins 4 defeats and 5 draws, a 25% KO ratio and he still KOd Pacquiao.
So I guess you're saying Pac had no excuse to be KOd by that level of opponent either, right.

FlyBoy, brilliant thread man. Everything originally stated is 100% true and based in actual fact. I've tried to do a similar thread myself before but got banned and thread deleted a few times because so many fighters have actually ducked Khan that I guess it effects a large number of people, a very diverse group of fans, when you highlight these facts.
Bredis Prescott I believed ducked than leveled him...

-Garcia: Khan brings 10X more money than Gurrero and all them other cherries that Garcia is picking. So, why not fight Khan?
-Mayweather: picked Maidana and Berto over Khan. Took less money by fighting M and B. Mayweather taking the lesser money option? Why? Clear duck.
-Pacquiao: same story. Bradley 3? Why? He already beat him twice. Khan brings way more money than Bradley.
-Cotto: watch the video I posted where Freddie talks about it.
Who out there has ever gotten rich fighting Khan?
Khan is one those fighters who you can't really duck. His good wins are very sparse, his WW run was more like a jog, his JWW superiority was debunked by DSG and Peterson, his so called speed is a myth. I'll give Khan his credit and say for a boxer so flawed to go in there and fight Canelo at 155, is incredible just to sign that contract. But no one 'ducked' him, outside of Bradley when he said 'if i lose to Khan, I lose out on the Pac/May sweepstakes.'

Get real
