Did Mayweather duck Amir Khan or not?

[RJJ-94-02=GOAT]

Khan came up short every time he fought someone who wasn't either past their prime, or feather-fisted.

Maidana?

[Hustle]

wish the fight happened but it didnt.

khan was with a different promoter. that is the most likely reason it didnt get made

Khan was with gpb just like everybody else that Floyd fought during that time. It wasn't a promotional issue.

Khan vs Floyd was supposed to happen in 2012.

Khan loss to peterson at the end of 2011. And then loss to Danny after that. This is the only time Khan vs Floyd was actually supposed to happen

[STREET CLEANER]

Nobody avoided Amir Con. Before someone cries Bradley he signed with TR and fought Pac. Khan represented the easy UK money.

[Comanche]

Amir Khan... I mean.... What are we talking about here?

To be clear I preferred Maidan and that choice was a win for the fans.

[QueensburyRules]

No version of Pacquiao beat Floyd, IMO. Pacquiao has no jab and can't cut off the ring.

- - Version of Manny that l'l floydy ducked starting March 2010 whoops U panties off l'l floydy for 5 years until they did fight.

Even then l'l floydy needed a commish scorecard rearrangement and 2 week backdated TUE to win that fight where he was the loser according to fans and the first cards.

Other than speed, Khan was never anything special. He only got hype behind him because he won an Olympic medal at a time when British boxing was at an all-time low point, after Lewis retired and Hamed got spanked by Barrera.

Khan came up short every time he fought someone who wasn't either past their prime, or feather-fisted. Stop hyping mediocre fighters.

Guerrero
Ortiz
Madonna 2x
Berto
Lightweight Marquez

All Floyd was fighting was mediocrity so fighting Khan was no better or worse

[MONGOOSE66]

Your HERO Mayweather never fought a fast fighter apart from Judah in his LIFE.! Zab Judah chinned him in early rounds and Khan's speed at the time would have given him fits.


Mayweather built his WHOLE RESUME fighting SLOW SLUGGING COME FORWARD BRAWLERS/PUNCHERS.


SAY IT LIKE IT IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LOL, Kahn in his PRIME record showed nothing near as special as Mayweather, Delahoya, Canelo, Cotto, Moseley or Pac. He HAD only ONE gear in a fight. Only one fight he impressed me and it was just ONE fight and that was against Chino.
Unaware boxing fans think speed is all you need. If that were true Kahn should be undefeated.

Floyd made a good call with Maidana.

Maidana had a belt at 147 having just beaten Baby Bro Broner.

Khan had done nothing at 147, and this didn't change.

If they had fought, it would have been similar to Hatton, right hand counters and check hooks when Khan got sloppy.

Khan was better with his mouth than his fists after Garcia wrecked him, he made a fortune by talking his way into fights he had no chance of winning.

That is what it is

Floyd would time Khan like a Rolex watch,

We know we know Floyd Gucci shoe shine boy, but he didn't when he had opportunities to do it.

Maybe too scared that Khan could outbox him and he has to hope that Khan gasses in the later rounds
