I hope somebody with a boxing sense prevents this. Thats a wack fight, I dont even think it would even sell well in the UK! I think Khan beats needs to fight Alexander or Brook (who I'm not really big on tho) or Berto.
both, but people for some reason value resume more than skills. I think even if you have a lot of losses, you still can be a dangerous, competitive fighter if you have the skills.
I'm a Khan fan but I wont lie some of the things he says is retarded. I think he thinks this is how he should market himself, or this is what he needs to do to get a fight with Floyd. I don't know maybe it is working, boxingscene seems to eat up everything Khan says so idk. But smh at the ones not giving him credit for the maidana and judah fights. khan convincingly won like 8 of the 12 rounds, and yes blame Khan that Judah didnt punch the entire fight. If thats ur logic, then Floyd doesnt get props for the Mosley win bc Mosley didnt punch either. Also, stop acting like Ortiz resume is any impressive. Whats his 3 notable wins, Andre Berto, Vivian Harris, and Nate Campbell? And I don't even rank Berto, he ducked Mosley, and only has really 1 good win vs Quintana. So lets not try to act like Ortiz deserves a shot vs Mayweather because hes such an elite fighter.
As a resident of Virginia that works in D.C. I can state that factually you are as far from reality as humanly possible.
The D.C. metro area encompasses The District of Columbia only!!!!!
So, by your logic, New York, New Jersey is the Philadelphia Metro area .... Is this your perception or are you just grasping for straws??????:bottle:
When talking about regions, you've never head of the DMV? DC, Md, Va...
Over here in NJ, you'll commonly hear "tri-state" referring to NY, NJ, and CT.

Do you honestly think Bradley can offer Peterson more than Khan? GBP already offered Peterson 7 figures for the rematch, Bradley just started banking that much himself, he has no draw plus Khan has British PPV money to play with. Khan will get his rematch.
Its funny tho how he wants to fight a fighter who he already beat, and who beat the guy who he refuses to fight.
Peterson/Khan should be a good fight and its in Peterson's hometown but if Khan wins aint none of u rooting against him will give him his props unfortunately. All I'm saying is if you think Khan doesnt have "elite skill" ask Tim Bradley, he knows whats up.
Khan beats Berto easy, Ortiz gives him problems tho. Kell Brook and Mike Jones ain't ****. I like Mike Jones but he gets gassed out at the 4th every fight. I couldve knocked Lujan out, he had no guard up and the same slow ass overhand right over and over. Anyway, I dont see anyone but May, or Manny beat Khan at 147.
You know you're a sucky fighter when YOU'RE the one calling out the boxer you already beat!
When Maidana says "khan i want a rematch", I may not agree but I can understand it. But when you already beat the guy and ur like "hey, dont u want me to give you a rematch? I'll give it to you if you want redemption" lol thats the saddest thing ive ever seen.
if prescott was a top 10 fighter, then khan would be ducking for not taking the fight, but he's not even top 20. If I was Prescott, I would be telling Maidana I beat the guy you couldnt beat, lets get it on. if Prescott can get past McCloskey (doubt it) and Maidana, then Khan HAS to fight him.
These articles always have misleading titles. Anyway, that's good for zab... I find religion as a good tool to keep a person disciplined among other things. I know khan is religious too, don't know why they didn't touch on that...
The battles between Casamayor and Corrales were classic, and the fights against Marquez and Castillo garners him respect BUT Bradley isn't fighting 2002 Casamayor, he's fighting past-his-prime casamayor. Guerrero just beat this guy, and how many of his fights have been at 140? So its Bradley versus a past his prime lightweight? great...
good interview long as fuk but good. i like amir i just dont understand why he says he will never fight pac, friends fight all the time, if the money is there and people want to see it fight and be friends after. not saying he's ready now but he shouldnt just dismiss it like that, esp if he's tryin to be pfp king
i think as boxers theyd be open to it, but freddie wont allow it, ive noticed how he always says "they both have respect for me" meaning if u respect me dont fight each other.
bradley will beat khan roach just talken cuz it wont happen bradley has to wait to get a new promoter and get a tune up while gbp will give khan morales which will make more money
You are probably the biggest Khan hater ive seen. Every boxingscene article about Khan/Judah had you d-riding Judah hard as hell and then after the fight you fail to give props where props was due.
Whatevs, I don't like that Khan be mad cocky sounding sometimes but Khan has shown he's down to fight the best fighters and he's done a good job of sticking to a plan that wins fights. And what I seen from Judah, Khan will do the same thing to Bradley stick him from a distance where Bradley cant counter and just be more productive and have Bradley back-peddling, trying to be more defensive than offensive.
As far as fighters, Bradley and Khan are the only title holders, lets do what they both agreed to which is unify the division and wrap it up from there. Khan has a December date, Bradley has to show he wants it and agree to the December fight.
im glad benidict khan lost !!!!!
I'm sorry but this baffles me, your name is treason and you are calling Khan, a brit, "Benedict" referring to the man who betrayed his country, America, for the Brits. Maybe someone can help me figure this out, either its the greatest line ever, or youre just making no sense whatsoever...
i was at the weigh in, the only thing that got this rowdy were a few of "khan's army" people jumping on stage or rushing near the stage but nothing happened there were enough ppl their to push the crowd back... khan's people were not 100-deep, more like 40-50. and as far as i know it was open to the public, i walked right in w/o any1 stopping me. as soon as i walked in they were selling some corny program books or something, who sells books to the media? obviously it was intended for the public. and i even got a khan's army shirt... they had a box full of them and gave it out to anybody who asked so im sure it made it seem everyone in there was pro-khan
say what u want about both fighters, i think the difference between the top 4 guys at 140 is roach. khan may have a glass jaw, and maidana punching power... but dont underestimate roach's ability to advert that
Some of you guys are so effing annoying. I dont care if you dont like Khan, but at least give the guy his damn props. If Khan never fought Maidana and refused to fight him then you'd have a legit argument, but he already fought him... and beat him, and rocked the **** out of him in round 1. Yes that Khan/Maidana bout was amazing and we'd all love to see a rematch but Khan doesn't owe it to Maidana. Everybody knows Khan is the cash cow at 140, and that probably the biggest reason why Maidana wants to fight him, you dont see Maidana begging Kotelnik for a rematch even though he lost that one (and very controversial too), and that was a title match the same title Khan took when he beat Kotelnik.
It's obvious now Khan is collecting belts, he wanted Bradley because Bradley has belts. And the only reason he wants Morales/Mattysse winner is because they would have a belt. And yes, Khan/Morales is a terrible fight and won't prove anything for Khan except that he can beat up an old legend but if its Khan/Mattysse that would actually be a good fight. But the way Mattysse has been robbed his last 2 fights (corrupt judges/incompetent refs) I'm convinced he wont win by points.
So if Maidana wants a rematch with Khan he needs to get a belt. And the only other person with a belt is Tim Bradley, which if memory serves me correct he ducked with tales of bad backs and management disputes. Maybe if Bradley comes out of hiding, he can fight the winner of Maidana/Guerrero (if Maidana doesnt b*tch out again) and the winner of that could face Khan (unless its Bradley because he's b*tching out of that)... oh my, and then we wonder why we are gonna end up seeing an old Morales' one-sided loss to Khan.
LOL....everyone wants to **** on Bradley because he making the best business move for his future. khan can wait...
Everybody wants to **** on bradley bc he is acting like a b*tch...
When Khan beat Malignaggi he said let Alexander/Bradley face off (check) and let Khan and Maidana fight (check) and the winners can face each other... but that didnt happen. Bradley called out Khan said hey I have a fight on July 23rd "stop running Khan" and then bailed out of that fight. Then Kellerman asks Khan about Bradley and he says I have a December fight, but Bradley is scared. And Bradley proves just that.
Now Floyd fights in September and Pac in November that means both fighters arent fighting until atleast March/April after that, so why cant Bradley fight in December? Is he busy? I dont understand, take your fight with Khan in December and then take a fight with Pacman mid 2012, whats so hard about that? He's acting like he's going to get a fight in January or February. Not happening, he's ducking plain and simple. A loss to Khan will end him.
roach said they want maidana next for khan, but i dont even see that happening... ortiz/campbell are fighting on the khan/malignaggi undercard i have a feeling they are gona pit khan with the winner of that aka ortiz, and if maidan beats alexander (which i dont see happening) then maybe go after maidana... but i would rather see a fighter like khan work his way up the division before fighting the likes of alexander or bradley... to me the fights become more fun that way wen a boxer has a nice track record.
because khan has been protected we really arent aware of what skill he has if any. beating malignaggi proves nothing, but beating ortiz or campbell shows us he has some skill, then if he can beat maidana i'll know for sure that khan/alexander is gona be an insane fight. if he was fighting alexander in his debut i think it would lack the necessary hype, and i wouldnt care as much i would just write him off as someone who hasnt proven himself
i dont get why ppl hate on khan so much, give respect where respect is due. ive noticed the khan fans have applauded maidana for the great fight despite his dirty antics, but haters wanna hate i guess.
the scariest part of this fight was i think we still have an unpolished, still learning khan... meaning he has much more potential to grow
Boxing is also a business, I get that... Bradley wants a pacman fight, and he wants the money. Nobody can blame him for that. But can somebody please tell me around when would this fight be? April? May?
Now can somebody answer why he can't fight Khan in December and then take Pac in May?
The answer seems somewhat obvious, if Bradley looses he's lost all hope for a Pac fight. So essentially, he's scared of losing a big fight to pacman (bc he knows theres a chance he will lose)
Now lets flip the tables, Floyd has been entertaining the UK crowd in Vegas, inviting him to see him train, talking about a potential fight, saying how he always wanted to fight in the uk... It would seem Khan has a potential (and in my opinion better chance) to land a fight against Floyd. So imagine if tomorrow he's like I dont want to fight Bradley, I don't want to fight the winner b/w Maidana/Guerrero, and I don't want Morales... You know for damn sure 90% of you would be on him calling him out for being a bum. But when Bradley does it, its a good financial move? foh...
Now imagine Pac beats JMM, Floyd beats Ortiz, and Pac agrees to the testing and Pac/Floyd is on... what then Bradley? Is what he is doing making any sense? The only person that feels he is owed a Pac fight is Bradley. I've never heard any analysts or anybody from Team Pac showing interest for a Bradley/Pac fight. If he wants to move up and fight Pac, fine... but strip him of his titles and let boxers who want to box fight for them. You cant have your belts and refuse to defend them bc ur greedy ass wants a multi-million dollar payday. Simple as that.
i dont think most of you guys know that theres not many fights out there at 140 for khan. either u jump on the rematch bandwagon or its peterson, mattysse, or bradley and bradley is really pissing me off like he doesnt seem interested in getting back in the ring, id try my utmost hardest to settle whatever contractual disputes i had quick instead of wasting time
maybe the kid dreams big but you all act like hes the first guy to say he wants to fight mayweather... EVERY FIGHTER says that nowadays, bradley said it after his last fight, paul williams, berto, sergio martinez, and the list goes on and on.
