We're all au fait with the fact that Khan was avoided by at least 4 elite (or A-level) fighters to date - Mayweather, Marquez, Pacquiao and Bradley - so the logical question to ask, based upon this refusal by so many elite fighters to face Khan, is whether the fear factor Khan brings to the table would indeed reveal itself regardless of the era that Khan had been fighting in?
Would the elite fighters of any era in recorded history avoid Khan due to the inherent risk of defeat against his style, or are there any elites that you think would have faced him at his own weight division and therefore it's the "safety first" mindset of this generation which is to blame for so many high level fighters finding any way to escape a fight with Khan, in most cases so publicly that the avoiding is beyond any form of reasonable doubt or debate?
your math isnt too good
how does a ppv that did 600k buys equal up to a extra 17 million for canelo and a extra 10 million for khan?
canelo didnt make 20 million for chavez or ggg and those fights did 1 million ppv buys.
simple mathematics brocanelo keeps all the azteca tv money
you are a hater his guarantee was 2 mill he cleared over 12 mill with hbo upside and skybox revenue..do you think canelo only made 3.5 mill for the fight...he raked in almost 20 mill after it was all said and done...

in the eyes of many floyd lost to maidana in the first fight hence the rematch
Khan dropped and beat maidanaIn the eyes of the judges he won. In the eyes of many others he won. Wishful thinking on your part. Khan spent the last few rounds in full survival mode because Maidana was about to tear his head off.
Garcia was getting whooped until he landed that lucky punch with his eyes closed..garcia got beat by mauricio herrera..so fighting a lesser opponent that brings no money to the table makes sence...Another delusional fantasy by Khan fanatics. Garcia was getting his timing down and Khan got a little success. Big whoop! A better fighter would've realized Garcia was trying to catch him with that hook. What does Herrera have to do with Khan getting stopped by Garcia? You make no sense.
so floyd fighting berto
Wasnt a joke of a fight and pacquiao fighting a bum nobody had heard of and got beaten by in horn a joke of a fightNot a bigger joke than it would be fighting Khan.
I can't believe you're seriously spending time arguing Khan'scase. You're about as delusional as your hero.
Hasn't won a world title fight since 2011 and never above 140. Being irrelevant and being avoided are different. Bradley tried to fight Khan and team Khan didn't want it until Bradley was securing a fight with a far better, far more dangerous Pacquiao for far more money.
Khan wouldn't be a titleholder in any other era. He probably wouldn't even be in the top 10.
Can you see Khan beating Leonard, Hearns, Duran, De la Hoya, Trinidad, etc? (I didn't include Hagler because I'm only listing welterweights).
Khan would have toyed with Duran. Styles make fights.
Khan was a joke and they didn't want any part of it. They only people that weren't in on the joke is Khan himself and his gullible fans. Exhibit A.so floyd fighting berto

Why wouldn't they want any part of him when Khan has been beat by lesser fighters? The fact that none of those elite fighters chose to fight Khan tells you more about his status in boxing than it says about his skills. He had to survive against Maidana, stopped by Garcia, and lost on point deductions against Peterson. He's the Zab Judah of the U.K. Except Judah actually had some worthwhile accomplishments.in the eyes of many floyd lost to maidana in the first fight hence the rematch

the fight barely did half a millon. How am I hating? It’s the truth a little boy like khan would never step in the ring with TC, Spence or Thurman he’s a scared coward. Has khan even beat a top ww yet? Lol
if pacquiao wanted to end the knock out drought since 2009 and mayweather wanted to get a k.o since sucker punching victor he would have fought khan but they didnt..and dont come out with khan brings nothing to the table..he bring in alot of money from the u.k.....NEXT

I watched an IFL tv interview the other day with kugan interviewing brook, even kugan said if brook v Khan happens, it’s not a stadium fight anymore. It’ll be 2 fights for Khan then brook then retirement, brook even said he has 1 year left.
Khan wasn't avoided he was ignored. When Canelo needed a quick KO he picked on Khan because he has the weakest chin around. If anyone of these fighters needed a quick KO I'm sure they would've fought Khan. These elite fighters were actually fighting each other while Khan was hitting the canvas over and over and over and over...if pacquiao wanted to end the knock out drought since 2009 and mayweather wanted to get a k.o since sucker punching victor he would have fought khan but they didnt..and dont come out with khan brings nothing to the table..he bring in alot of money from the u.k.....NEXT
And got ktfo lmao for 2 million dollars. The good fighters who don’t get ktfo all the time are already making that and more without embarrassing themselves. Thurman Spence Crawford Garcia already making that. Would khan fight any of them. HÈLL NO Oh yeah he did fight Danny Garcia lmaooo Berto might even ko him if he land on his damaged baby chinyou are a hater his guarantee was 2 mill he cleared over 12 mill with hbo upside and skybox revenue..do you think canelo only made 3.5 mill for the fight...he raked in almost 20 mill after it was all said and done...
Khan got KOed by Prescott, Garcia and Canelo in hilarious fashion.
He went life and death against Diaz and Algieri. The thread starter is just as delusional as Khan.

Did Pac avoid him? All we heard was that the Dubai group couldnt front the money they said they would.
Bradley, JMM and May all ducked him one way or another. Some of it was blatant.
