Is Amir Khan deluded or just a dickhead?
With the Alvarez KO already happening, a Floyd fight never happening, and a Pacquiao fight unlikely to happen, Khan is looking at a landscape where the only major event left to him in boxing is the fight against Kell Brook in the UK, and he seems terrified of the likely scenario that he gets KTFO by a fellow Brit, in the UK's national stadium (Wembley).
Rather than have that idea set anywhere as his only option, Khan is looking for as big a spectacle as possible otherwise; no one expects him to go to the UFC, fight a guy at 170lbs and win, so pushing towards doing so puts himself in another win-win situation (if he manages to beat McGregor, his name pops, and he goes to the sporting press with something that he'd hope would interest Mayweather into fighting him; if he loses to McGregor, he demurs to "I'm just a boxer" and, after a rest, he goes back to looking at a boxing spectacle that has nothing to do with getting KTFO in London.

I've seen him try more than once fish for compliments about his looks because he thinks he's handsome. Girls obviously like him because of his money and fame and it has made him think he's a good looking guy. He was never gonna get any traction from the media talking about his at best very, very average looks. He's nowhere near as attractive as say PeasantCrusher or Gilberto "Zurdo" Ramirez or Omar Figueroa. JS..................
