Khan is delusional. I speak bad because he talks like he is entitled to something at WW. Dude his been above 140 since 2012 but this is the first top fighter he has faced at the weight. 6 years without fighting one B-level opponent at 147.
IDK about the UK but he gets hated over here because he talks without proving anything.
I'm not going to give Garcia credit for coming into a fight trying only to survive to the last bell! Top p4p guys don't do that. Garcia has been picking on the smaller fighters at 135 and people want to credit him for that! This is the first time in Mikey's career he faced an elite fighter. Beating Broner, Liponet, Zlaticanin, and Easter doesn't make you a top p4p fighter.
So tell us about Loma and Bud. Do they fight smaller guys? Have they fought elite comp to get them ranked high? Be honest in your assessment!
I don't think Khan is scared of Brook at all. I mean he fought Canelo and he's fighting a top 3 p4p guy in Crawford. I mean why is Khan scared of Brook? Is Khan scared he's going to get knocked out? Haha been there done that multiple times already lol So that's not it.
I think Khan is stringing Brook along and getting under his skin by making him wait for the fight. Which is a jerk move!
No, he is scared to be embarrassed by his countrymen. He's a joke to the entire world Except the UK. I'd be surprised if he makes it to the 8th.
Remember, it took him 6 years to fight a top welter.
Crawford gave Khan the way out. You shouldn't have landed low. Let's stop sugar coating for the sake of protecting fighter's feelings. They're grown men, they should be able to take criticism. Crawford beats Khan 7 days a week and Khan could've stayed down in the first. He could've gone down on one of the body shots Crawford landed in the 4th or 5th. Instead Khan went out because he was hit low - very obviously low. Crawford needs to stop b#tching about the scenario he created. How about fighting clean? That's an idea.
Keep making excuses. No one is buying that excuse. If that's the case ask for a rematch. Of course he wont because he already dodged that ko. He sucks bro. Kahn hasnt been good in about 7 years.
What I don't get and don't get me wrong Crawford is a better fighter and would have KO'd him anyway but how can you win a fight on a tko when it's a low blow?
Surely it should go to the scorecards which Crawford would have won on anyway.
Its like an accidental headbutt when after 4 rounds it goes to the scorecards surely??
Edit> which means again Crawford would have won anyway, I just don't get how its a tko.
It's a TKO because Amir and Virgil told the ref to stop the fight. The doctor didnt stop it, Con did. Take the whole five minutes and if that dont work, talk to the doctor. Dont immediately say stop the fight. Ask the doctor to check you and see if he'll stop it. He didnt do that because they would've told him to fight on. Do we have a medical report about the testicle. Of course not because we've seen much worse low blows. Zab vs Cotto was bad and it actually changed the entire fight but Zab didnt quit.
I think Thurman will be in Prime form for Pac. Hopefully he wins and looks great. 147 has a 3 headed monster but 1 hasn't been in the ring. I think Thurman reminds everyone that he is at the top as well. Whoever wins, will have to face Spence though.
No need to lie Hearn. If you were concerned, this fight wouldn't happen now. I still like this match up more than Whyte because they haven't fought yet. Yeah, I blame them for turning down 50 million but Miller is acceptable for anyone right now. Besides the top 3 (Fury,Wilder,AJ) we need these guys to fight one another. Ortiz, Whyte, Miller,Pulev, Povetkin, Parker, Kownacki should be fighting each other to determine who is worthy.
We got AJ-Miller, Fury -Wilder, Whyte-Breazeale lined up. Id like to see the following be made like, RIGHT NOW!
Ortiz-Pulev
Usyk-Povetkin
Kownacki-Parker
O.Rivas-Helenius
Hrgovic-C.Martin
Joyce-Hughie Fury
Kabayel-M.Hunter
Kuzmin-Ruiz Jr
I can dream right!
Callum is hands down #1 for the moment. Benavidez and Zurdo ducked the tourney but still didnt fight each other. They both have work to do. Neither should be ranked ahead of Groves yet.
You can criticise Khan for his chin, his inclination to duke it out, but not for his courage. He went head-to-head with big hitters like Maidana & Garcia, he tried everything to get in with the two best men in his division, Pacman and Mayweather, and when that didn't wash he moved up two divisions to fight Canelo.
You are just as delusion as him I see. Does Charles Martin have heart for stepping up to fight Joshua? No, he cashed his belt out.
Khan has been a WW for damn near six years without fighting anyone decent. He begged for May and Pac for money, only. He went up ONE division for money. Maidana, Garcia etc was was like 7 years ago. He has the least amount of courage at WW. He wont fight anyone.

this is khan 147 resume. 6 years. no title fight
why are you impressed
Thank you. He is clearly dodging the good welters. Spence,Bud,Garcia,Thurman, Brook, and Porter will fight Khan 2morrow if he wasn't so scared. He's a good $ fight. Low risk, high reward. Khan gets ko'd by all six after they start timing him. Hell, he wont fight the 2nd tier of welters.
Hed be lucky to be top 15 at Welter.
You guys are clearly living off of those Bradley call outs st 140, almost 10 years ago. Algieri was bullying him. Thats when he realized he'd only sell his chin off 4 a big payday only.
Same ole same since 2013. Khan will name drop WW's bit still hasn't fought a good one. Its been five years. Ill give him a little credit for Alexander but damn, the way he talks, you'd think he fought a top five WW. Hopefully he proves me wrong and actually steps up this time.
Hate posts like this. The only thing more pathetic than when fanboys use the same weak logic as promoters for why fights shouldn't happen is when they seem to take more joy from fighters one-upping their opponents in negotiations than they do from actually seeing them win actual fights.
I agree, were not promoters and should take most of the blame for fights stalling.
I actually dont mind seeing them next. Wilder vs Ortiz winner vs Povetkin, then winners can fight.
It wont happen though, after these next two fights, AJ or Wilder will fight Fury if he's halfway decent, the other will fight Whyte bum as s. I say end of 2019 if they can both navigate three fights without losing.
Because most of the people on here are women. I don't hate any boxer. And grown men shouldn't care about how other grown men behave. If you cant appreciate someones style, then don't watch.
Am I the only one who doesn't watch promotion leading up to the fight? Nor do I listen to fighters outside of the ring, unless commentating. It seems like you some of you guys are too attached. My favorite sports are Boxing, NBA, NFL, and MMA. Of all the fighters and players I follow. I can't think of one person that I follow outside of the ring, field, court, or cage. It's kinda like when females talk about who's Brad Pitt dating(***** just watch the movie).
Dumb comment (run like a *****). No, Mike is gonna outbox him. Why trade with someone who isnt versatile enough to not only brawl but box. I swear fans know nothing about (boxing). If brawling is all u think a fighter should do, I suggest you go watch Kimbo youtube vids.
If it does 300,000, thats good. But like someone else said, I dont care what it does I just want to see the fight. I'll be streaming like I do all fights
