Good thing you don’t manage Spence. Trying to rush him into a full fledged MW fight this year. Asinine.
2-2.5 years is rushing him? I know you replied a while ago, but your response was so silly, I had to reply, lol.
Spence should have done this in 2017, when he was offered that multi fight contract. He could have very well been fighting Saul at the end of this year. He still would have been in his prime when the deal expired and would have had a ton more noterity.
Go bet on the well rounded Canelo then. The pro odds makers and the betting people think crude old GGG will win the fight. GGG is the -$145 betting favorite while well rounded Canelo for some strange reason is a +$175 underdog.
Good to see you're letting others form your opinion for you lol
What the **** is wrong with the welterweight division? No one fights each other
Because of Floyd. No one wants to ruin their shot at the jackpot. Even now, they're all hoping he'll come back for one more. We won't see too many meaningful fights until 2017.
Uh.....what about the 14 fights he had above the lightweight limit or the 3 welterweight fights that he has had?
Uh... what about them? What about the 4 fights he had a 135, which are his most recent. Listen, I don't care how many times he fought at 140... he isn't a JWW. But hey, who am I to say, right? Crawford's the truth, according to you guys. It's funny how quickly people buy into the hype.
Lol, he beat up a guy who had been fighting at 135, and gets called a beast. Jean was so much smaller. You fools are eating this stuff up, lol. Meanwhile, Khan gets trashed for fighting Algieri, who was clearly bigger than Amir. Double standards... gotta love 'em.
WTF does Kahn have to do with this?
You sound like bitter despiteful ex girlfriend or some **** bringing up old **** like that.
Showing the double standards. Crawford bea a guy who had no business in there with him and much smaller, yet some are calling him the truth. Khan fights Algieri and gets ****ted on for fighting a JWW, when Chris was CLEARLY the bigger man and showed that he does belong in there. It's a double standard.
Giving to charity and being a great boxer have nothing to do with each other so why are you trying to link them together????? Khan can give as much as he wants to any cause he wants. It doesn't make the big talking cherry picker champion of a damn thing. He is the real champ of NOTHING. Garcia knocked him out and took his title away over 3 years ago. He doesn't have the balls to try to win a new world title from Brook or Bradley or Thurman.
Haha, damn... you sound just like a *******.
Amir's right. Kell was chasing Khan around when he was fighting bums. He has ONE win, over a slightly above average fighter and now that merits a fight with Khan? Fight a name Brook. Dafuq is wrong with this guy. I hope he fights Spence and gets Algieri'd.
Cotto would absolutely school Kell, no doubt in my mind. Too seasoned, too skillful, even at his age. Kell has not been in with anyone like Cotto... not even close.
I thought that HBO did not like Khan as an opponent!!!!
He better be getting paid good for this fight as I can not see him winning this fight. Fair play for taking the risk and guess he really does not want to give Brook a pay day......
He is ducking Brook, like Chickenson with Kov, as Chickenson went to another network and fought C level fighters. Khan as gone in with a much big name and threat than Brook. I think it stupid and he will get KO.
Sure. He avoids Kell, to fight someone who would destroy him. That's not how ducking works. Let me give you an example... Kell ducks Chaves, to wait out for his mandatory (Bizier). Now THAT'S a duck, bwhahaha!
IMO, he should accept a 60/40 split in his favour and he'll make BY FAR the biggest payday of his life
Well, 20% would be more than Kell has ever made. Take the 20% and STFU.
still praising khan for a fight he took over 4 years ago (wasnt even a risky fight at the time)
anything who thinks thurman is faking should just log off
Maidana was a risky fight. What are you talking about?
Spot on.
I believe he's hurt. These morons round here screaming conspiracy are so absurd.
You don't find it interesting that Lou said he's a "very lucky young man", when it was deemed to be a " low velocity" accident, which by definition is 1-25 mph?
Apparently, Keith had his accident during a rain storm. I'm not sure where Keith is training, but I checked the weather for Clearwater and St. Petersburg, and there were no rain storms for the dates given.
He's pulling a Brook. Not because he's scared, but because a bigger fight has been offered, or at least talked about. Only fight I can think of would be one with Garcia.
Billy Jo it's not a good look for you to only want to fight Canelo and not want to fight GGG or even Jacobs.
It sounds like your have already mentally told yourself you can't beat GGG. That's not a good mind set if you want to be established as the best Middleweight in the world.
You make us boxing fans think your weak minded if your thought process is like that. Just say that their are more benefits fighting Canelo than any other Middleweight, which is true Canelo will get you a career payday.
If he says he'd fight Gennady, then doesn't, because he knows he's not ready, then people will call him a punani and accuse him of ducking. It's lose/lose. At least be honest.
Since being leveled by Garcia, Khan has spent more time on the sidelines talking about it rather than doing it .Waiting around and begging.
Berto got $4 m for Floyd appox.£2.5m and you are millions out when you say 'worth more than whatever Brook was throwing at him.
The Brook fight could have been worth up to £8 m ! a fight that lying Khan said would be easy but then caught a plane to fight Algieri !
why do you guy's defend this behavior ?
Amir Khan at this juncture as a top world welter is pointless he did his best work over five years ago rebuilding his career after a 54 second first round knock out by a nobody.
If you want to go on in a delusional way and insist in believing in imaginary friends and situations then please do but this my friend is the truth ! and beating Floyd is just ridiculous !
By worth more, I didn't mean immediate, short term. I meant long term. A win over Floyd would have guaranteed big paydays for him, including a rematch. He was thinking long term. He failed, but he took the gamble, which I can admire.
If Khan is sitting on the sidelines, then I'm afraid Brook, Thurman, Porter, and Garcia are doing the same thing. There's no debating that.
Absolutely the dumbest post I have read in awhile. You MUST be a *****.
Care to analyze the fight, instead of insulting people, like an uneducated bafoon?
Tell me about Manny's inside game... tell me about his uncanny ability to cut the ring off... tell me how Manny beats him without saying "Manny will shatter his glass chin", like the bafoon you're making yourself out to be.
Callum made more for Groves than what was offered by Canelo. He didn't blow anything, regardless of what the obvious Hearn haters and Canelo fanboys tell you. Callum deserves $12-15M. He knows it and Hearn knows it. And Hearn's smarter than anyone on this board.
So their answer to that is to make less than 1/3 of that in his next fight? That'll teach Saul! Bad business, imo. Take what Saul gives you. If you beat him, you're the man. If you lose, so what... you never were.
You gonna pay Rios' bills after he goes veggie on us? Doubt it.
The one I feel sorry for is Rios' wife. She has hung in there thru alot with this guy, who is really nothing more than one who uses his face for a punching bag. And it doesn't take a brain expert to see Rios is already damaged goods. I mean, hey, good for the guy to make some moolah to hopefully get him thru life after boxing (which will be soon), but look at him closeup during interviews the past couple years. Yes, he is not a smart person by any means, but even so... this is a fighter with early onset dementia. I just feel sorry for his wife having to watch all this, and then if she stays, having to take care of him before long.
Dude, Bam Bam has been talking like that since forever... more or less.
This guy tends to forget what prescott and Danny garcia did to him.
It's called moving on. Rematching, and beating Prescott, does nothing for career , and Angel has said no to a rematch. He's moving on from that... so should you.
