British star Amir Khan (31-3, 19KOs) has brushed off reports on why Floyd Mayweather Jr. rejected him for a possible fight on September 12th at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
Mayweather's his team members have stated in interviews that Khan 'talked too much' and that cost him the opportunity. The frontrunner right now is Andre Berto, who shares the same trainer as Khan in Virgil Hunter. Khan is going to fight in the fall.
Khan says nobody from the Mayweather camp or his adviser Al Haymon (who also works with Mayweather) contacted him with any warning to stop talking in the press.
“That is false; no one from Mayweather’s team got in touch with me,” Khan said to The National. “He can use whatever excuses he likes, but the bottom line is Floyd is scared. He knows I’m fast and can give him his first loss. Amir Khan brings more money, more fans, more exposure on the table.
“I mean, my fight against Chris Algieri got the highest-ever ratings in 10 years of a free-to-air boxing bout in the US. Everybody is criticising him for not picking me; the likes of Mike Tyson, ‘Sugar’ Ray Leonard, Marvin Hagler. He’s been cherry-picking all his career.”
Khan uses unbeaten IBF 140-pound champion Cesar Cuenca, who has an identical 48-0 record as Mayweather, as an example to crack Floyd record.
“Who is Cuenca? I don’t know who he is; never heard of him. And this proves exactly my point on Mayweather: lots of unknown fighters are undefeated. Records mean nothing in today’s world, what matters is the legitimacy of the opponents you fight," Khan said.
“If I wanted, I could’ve been 100-0 right now, I could’ve cherry-picked all the easy fights and remained undefeated. It means nothing in the world of boxing.”
Wow. It got so bad mods had to merge all the spam threads. Hahahah.
So let’s recap. Djtmal calls for Floyd/Shane and Floyd/cotto fights ahead of Floyd/manny. Floyd fights Shane 3 months later and wins. Djtmal hen calls it a cherrypick.
Djtmal wants Floyd/Shane and Floyd/cotto ahead of Floyd/manny. Floyd fights Shane and cotto, djtmal accuse him of ducking manny even though he didn't want to see a Floyd/Manny fight because to him it was a "big $$ mismatch".
Djtmal creates athread saying Floyd/Ortiz a good matchup. He is excited when the fight is signed. Floyd wins and he calls it a cherry pick.
Djtmal gets called out on this and instead of just saying I’m wrong has an epic meltdown.
Good times yesterday.
:lol1::lol1::lol1:
You would think that he would just admit the error of his ways instead of digging deeper into that grave!!!!
Nice work on exposing the little b.itch....lol. Watching him scramble around is hilarious. Pacf@gs won't even come to his recuse.
Actually travestyny exposed him first in another thread. I just decided to actually respond to djtmal's threads :lol1:
Thank you sir for the exposal :rofl:
Nice work....gives me a nice chuckle seeing him meltdown like this.
McDonald exposed that h0e and big dunn lifted that h0e's skirt, since then he's been in shambles all day.
:rofl:
Actually travestyny exposed him first in another thread. I just decided to actually respond to djtmal's threads :lol1:
EPIC MENTAL MELTDOWNNNN!!! :lol1:
Thank you sir for the exposal :rofl:
Every boxing fans will agree that floyd is the best cherry picker in boxing history. Floyd will never fight a prime elite fighter and floyd will make sure that he has all the advantages, referee and judges before accepting the fight.
The MODs have merged all of djtmal's threads into one :lol1:
Spam attempt failed :lol1:
May aswell rename the thread "djtmal meltdown master thread"
What a joker.
Most boxers can be undefeated if they cherry pick their opponent but most boxers isn't coward. Floyd should had a chance to become the 2000-2009 FIGHTER OF THE DECADE if he did not cherry pick.
Floyd “Money” Mayweather has for years insisted he is the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world, insisting he is the most gifted pugilist since Sugar Ray Leonard, no less.
Although Mayweather is unbeaten in 47 bouts and is clearly better than all peers and firm favorite to outpoint Manny Pacquiao when they finally meet in Las Vegas on May 2, the brash American is way short of surpassing Leonard’s achievements.
Even though Mayweather has won world titles from super-feather to light-middle and earned more than any other fighter in the sport’s history – at least $500 million – his lasting legacy will be that of a master manipulator rather than a legendary fighter.
That’s because the 38-year-old champ has always cherry-picked his opponents when it best suited him – and never fought outside his comfort zone, always taking on fighters he was assured of beating. His slippery, defensive style is not entertaining. The clash with Pacquiao will generate plenty of interest beyond boxing circles, but the bout itself is likely to be an anti-climax, with Pacquiao chasing shadows most of the time as Money picks him off on the back foot.
Leonard, a natural welterweight, went up to light-heavy just to prove he could win a world title at that level. He also took on the fearsome Marvin Hagler at middleweight and controversially won.
Jacques Scott
There were, of course, the classic fights with Tommy Hearns, Roberto Duran, Wilfredo Benitez, et al., mostly wins. Losing was never a fear for Leonard, he just relished the challenge of taking on the best.
Mayweather is now calling himself TBE: The Best Ever. Not so by a long shot.
He might be the greatest fighter of his generation, but even if he beats Pacquiao to unify the welterweight titles, Sugar Ray Robinson’s achievements remain the apogee any boxer must surpass to claim the mantle of the sport’s most gifted.
Robinson’s record speaks for itself. He fought over 200 times, well into his 40s and his overall win and knockout record eclipses every fighter’s at any weight.
Leonard’s record is not far behind, and a host of other throwback welterweights, including Emile Griffith, Henry Armstrong and Barney Ross, would have beaten Mayweather.
Robinson fought a 100 bums, idiots like you recite numbers you never analyze the numbers.
And what makes it even worse behind it all is your own character flaws hating on somebody you will never know , do even realize how on so many levels as human that is fked, the problem is with you kid you need to understand whats real in this world .
nobody gave him that name! he crown himself TBE. so you better live up to it. if you gonna cry every second someone hates on you then dont fcvking call yourself TBE.
Why does it bother you so much that he calls himself TBE?
You are beating a dead horse. Mayweather never ducked Khan. Khan did nothing at welterweight to be the number 1 challenger for Mayweather. If Mayweather had fought him Khan would have been a huge underdog. Khan did nothing at welterweight to make Pacquiao or Mayweather fear him. He was only fighting about once a year against guys who were not in the top 10. After Canelo smashed him he took two years off. Now his big comeback fight is yet another cherry pick who boxrec ranks number 99 in the world. Khan had some good wins when Roach trained him. He is never again going to be this great champion you want him to be. Let him avenge losses to Garcia, Peterson or even Prescott if he can. His prime is gone and his heart is no longer in boxing or he would have been back in the ring much earlier against a better opponent.
Isn't this like 3 years old?
All the articles that TS is spamming the forums with are multiple years old. Pretty sure he's just typed "Mayweather cherrypicker" into google or something a long those lines. I wonder if he actually thinks he doesn't look like a total moron by spamming these old articles.
He's either lost his mind after being exposed earlier today or is trying to flood the forums so the threads exposing him get lost.
Either way the guy is pathetic weirdo.
this has nothing to do with ali, wtf??? im just letting YOU know that when his fans and himself call him TBE, then you better back that shiiet up! like i said, him and his fans put this on himself so dont cry now and start name dropping.
My point is guys have done this before. Called themselves the greatest or the best even when they had accomplished less than Floyd has.
Because Floyd calls himself the best the haters, like yourself, want to hold him to an unbelievable standard just so you can discredit him.
And, that's what really haunts you. That he's confident and happy. You just can't stand that and since you'll never be able to hurt him, you lash out at his fans and try to make them miserable like you.
Get help. You'll feel a lot better. I promise.
