If Khan fights and beats Brook and Thurman then he would have a very strong case to get Floyd, snatch up that interim strap and the IBF title and the fight would be bigger. One or both straps, is what Khan NEEDS to get Floyd.
The fighters who currently have stronger cases than Khan to get Floyd-
Pac-currently has the HBO 147lb title and shud be the #1 priority over anybody.
Miguel Hotto-currently the lineal 160lb Champ
Danny Garcia-the current unified lineal 140lb Champ (Khans daddy)
Kell Brook-current IBF 147lb titlist
Thurman-WBA interim title (no chance)
Khan-WBC "Silver" title (no fkn way)
Khan had a good win over Devon and it should put him in the mix against the top guys at 147 not named Pac or Floyd, until he builds a better case truth is he didnt "earn" a floyd fight. Brook over Porter is clearly a stronger win than Khan over devon, Porter over devon was even a better win simply because a legit strap was on the line.
Brook over Porter > Porter over Alexander > Khan over Alexander
Danny Garcia. What can i say, can you really argue that Danny doesnt deserve a Floyd fight?
If Khan and his fans really believe he "deserves" Floyd, then there should be absolutely no doubt that Danny Swift EARNED that fight. All you Khan fans must have forgot Swift knocked ur boy off his perch and thats why hes been on the comeback trail.
All maidana did to get floyd was beat broner.. So why the bar is set so high for Khan? Why does he have to beat two more top guys..he does deserve a shot as we speak but as a fan all i want now is the pacman and floyd fight. .. But judging from floyds recent history he will pick khan.. Floyd has a habit of fighting guys who are receiving a lot of buzz and who come off great performances, he rides that momentum into high PPV sells.. Khan is full of buzz and hype right now, Floyd and him can easily do 1million plus PPV sells.
Floyd won't fight Pac
Floyd might try to evade Khan...
we'll see...
"My next opponent is a young undefeated strong hungry champion in D.Garcia! who beat Amir Khan!"
Danny Garcia murdered Khan. Garcia is better than Rios. Garcia is better than Algieri.
So whats your point in clowning Garcia? Did i miss something.
Are people really willing to stall Floyd-Manny showdown so that Khan can get his shot? Come on man, the biggest fight of the last 20 years is not about to be put on the shelf for this motor mouth idiot. Fight Brook, Thurman, Maidana, hell even Broner is there, or Matthysse. Floyd-Manny is for legacy, Floyd-Khan is for what exactly? Ok, he has "fost huns"(fast hands) , do people really believe hes gonna just throw 4-5 punch combos on Floyd, the most accurate sharp shooter in boxing, come on man. Khan fans, sit down somewhere.
It is one excuse after another for Mayweather to not fight Khan.
Fair enough if it is Pacquiao next, but we've been teased with that fight too many times for rumours to be taken seriously, besides Pacquiao isn't the same fighter he was 5 years ago anyway.
I really want to see Mayweather fight someone quick next, if it's not Pacman, it has to be Khan. Otherwise Khan should fight Kell Brook at Wembley, with the winner all but guaranteed the winner of Pac-Mayweather.
Pacquiao not the same as 5 years ago ? Neither is Floyd. Wait, are you already cooking up excuses for when Floyd wipes his a** with Manny. Stop it. Khan fighting Brook means more to the UK at this point, thats who he should fight.
So let me get this straight ... If floyd finally fights pacquiao, now ppl would say hes ducking khan? Man floyd cannot win with u people. Just a year ago ppl were begging khan to shut up now hes the boogeyman.. Boxing fans are such groupies
pacquiao had no answer for the jab.. he couldn't avoid the check hook and could not cut off the ring ... the difference was boxing IQ. . what shocked me though is that floyds feet are faster than pac, i thought pac would have the advantage here and use his quick footwork to attack from angles but floyd proved superior, he dictated the pace
the excuses for pacquiao losing are already being cooked up ... yet nobody is making excuses for floyd
Pac tards are scared ... the momentum going in is on mannys side considering how floyd looked vs maidana. .and manny is younger
please no excuses. . When floyd washes him by UD, give the man his throne and bow down
Manny has all the attributes that Floyd has struggled against. .except the jab.
Not having a jab will cost Manny because he will have to close the distance by lunging...and this is how Floyd leaping left hook will deck him..
this fool is more delusional than Khan is. . how come none of them wants to fight thurman.
pacquiao and floyd, regardless who wins, will have a rematch just for the money.
khan vs bradley and brook vs thurman. .those the fights that should be made
I've seen Manny got KOd by a body punch, I've seen him got KOd by a straight left, heck i've seen him got knockdown by a jab, and I've seen got put to sleep by Marquez. So, that notion of me doing what I ask you is not even remotely going happen. Can you handle the notion of Floyd loading his precious "big 0"
Lol .. damn manny aint no stranger to a$$ whoopens .. come may 2, another one awaits
For the sake of justice, for equality, for your family and your country, for the sake of all that is good and holy, for the sake of boxing, for the sake of the UNIVERSE, PACMAN YOU MUST WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! And you will!!!!!!
under the definition of pac tard this post needs to be stamped. .
Yes, I really do. I said it before and will say it again, Pacquio style is all wrong against Floyds defense stance. If Floyd thinks it is so easy he would have whooped him long time ago. And please none of that Manny walk doe. With or without PED May will whoop him if he truly believes in himself. Vargas was juicing and still Oscar put that guy out.
wtf.. with this logic everybody should be on PEDs , because its all about truly believing in yourself. .
When I say "fans" I mean people who make a financial contribution to the sport (buying PPV fights, event tickets, etc.) not so much kids on Twitter. Anybody can voice an opinion, but many of Khan's followers are clearly people who don't know much about boxing.
Alexander was one of Khan's most significant foe's ever, yet that fight failed to even sell 50% of the seats at arguably the best known (and easiest to sell to casual fans) venues in the world. That is the true indication of Khan's popularity. Is Mayweather going to come off the most lucrative fight in history to fight this absolute nobody hype job?
If Khan is a nobody hype job, what does that Make Maidana, Ortiz and Guerrero? All Chino did to earn a shot was beat the bum Broner, and Ortiz/ Guerrero both beat Berto to get Floyd..
Khan beats Collazo, who's arguably better than Broner. Then destroys Alexander, a guy that schooled Maidana. And you telling me he doesn't deserve the Floyd fight based on that alone?
And oh yeah, Khan beat Maidana way more convincing than Floyd did, only losing three of the late rounds. And everybody knows he was robbed against Peterson.
How is he not worthy, but Maidana, Ortiz, Guerrero are?
Yea he got KOd by Garcia, but KOs happen (ask Manny who's been knocked out three times) and Manny fans always say well prior to the KO Pac was dominating. Same with Khan, before the KO he was whipping Garcia like a step child.
floyd and manny will rematch in september no matter what happens on may 2.. because thats just what makes sense. . neither of them have anything more to prove in boxing, so go out facing each other twice, it will make up for the six years we didn't get it.. now they fight two times in a matter of months.. perfect ending. . guys like thurman, brook, khan, they are the future AFTER floyd and manny.
Same pac fans who hyped up Algieri prior to facing Manny are now sh-tting on him.
He tall doe
He a slick boxer doe
He beat Provodnikov doe
But now khan fights him and Algieri is the biggest bum on earth. Smh, pitiful fans.
After Pacquiao, Khan is the most worthy and accomplished fighter left for Floyd to face. And stylistically he will present problems. Why do people refuse to acknowledge Khan is skilled.
Khan style will present more problems for Floyd than Thurman, Brook or Porter. Those guys will look like robots in quicksand against Floyd.
People say he's picking on junior welters. Isn't that what Mannys been doing with Rios and Algieri.
The only other fighter that would be a style nightmare for Floyd is GGG at 160. But we know that's not happening.
brook should've fought thurman instead of gavin. the winner of that would've definitely pushed Khan aside.. but instea he fights bum ass gavin and thurman is fighting khans leftover.. regardless of how irritating khan is, he has a better resume than brook and thurman combined, and he should be first in line for a floyd fight
why so much hate..if guerrero earned a fight with Floyd then khan deserves a shot.. hell all maidana did was beat broner, thats it just one decent win and he got two cracks at Mayweather. .khan beat Alexander , collazo, maidana, judah, Peterson (robbed), now he will beat Algieri. .those are solid win.. what else does he need to do.. stylistically Khan will give Floyd trouble, thats a better fight than whoever else is available at 147..unless Floyd plans to fight GGG
Algieri please beat this phucking idiot. Floyd should only be fighting Brook,D .garcia,cotto,alvarez,and Lara. For his final fights
so Khan hasn't earned it but Brook has..the guy whos fighting Gavin next? Unbelievable. . Garcia not ready..Lara? Man WTF is this
fake ass injury.. pacquiao is a con artist, phony christian and classless coward. if anything happened to his shoulder it was because he missed 9000 punches.
arum talking about its the same injury as kobe bryant.. but we didn't see kobe doing 360 dunks with the injury, manny was throwing bombs for the whole 12 rounds. what a coward.
floyd not only exposed manny as a fighter, he exposed him as a man. we now see the real pacquiao. . floyd sent that fool spiraling into depression
LMAO, no he is not.
check their resumes.. guerrero biggest win:berto..maidana biggest: broner.. khan beat maidana, alexander (better than broner), paulie , zab and peterson (robbed)
if khan has to "earn" it well wtf did maidana had to do except beat bum ass broner.. double standard
its crazy the things people say Khan must do to "earn" a fight vs Floyd.. Khan has a better resume and is a better fighter than Ortiz/Maidana/Guerrero combined.. he has done more than enough to "earn" it. . Give me a break. At 147 he is the best available opponent for Mayweather, thats not debatable.
I can only imagine the outrage and disbelief had this been Mayweather vs Algieri. Now Paq fans are scrambling doing damage control "Algieri is tall doe". No, I'm sorry, this is a cherry pick that's right up there with Danny Garcia facing Salka. This is the equivalent of Floyd facing Ricky Hatton's brother. This fight should be on Telemundo, what a disgraceful abomination.
The shamelessness of many, but not all, of Manny's fans is on full display. If ALgieiri were fighting danny garcia, floyd or Broner next there would be no "style analysis" and all the other BS things manny fans have done since this fight was in the making. His length and height and blah. blah, blah wouldn't be discussed, let alone a factor in the fight. It would be all about who he fought prior and that he never fought at 147. There also would be endless talk of his coming in as a 14-1 underdog.
Sure would be nice to see posters analyze fighters and fights with the same microscope.
but, but , but .. he tall doe.
triple bum : ward is a bum, come to 164 or kick rocks (triple bum's groupies cheer)
jeff mayweather : ggg is a bum, come to 147 for floyd or kick rocks (triple bum's groupies go mad)
its scary that a guy with such a trash resume is calling himself A side.
