Comments Thread For: HBO Protecting Amir Khan? Industry Chatter is Shocking

[Dave Rado]

Will people stop popping at Khan? How is it Khans fault if HBO and GB want to protect him? Please let me know.

Khan moved to GBP because Warren would have put him in with Maidana.

I hope people give Khan respect when he kicks Marquez, Paulie and Maidanas asses

He won't fight Maidana.

Khan will fight anyone.

It's not his fault if his promoters don't want to risk a big defeat at this point of his career. I agree this whole thing is ****ing ****** but it's not Khans fault.

And stop talking like Marquez ain't nothing, he's still a great fighter

Marcos Maidana, the most feared man in boxing

its a shame khans people are so protective of him.i think he would beat maidana,then he would go from being 'the most feared man in boxing' to 'an over-rated brawler who has beat nobody apart from quitter ortiz'

What a diva this guy is. HBO does some crooked **** if you ask me. They always want to make certain fighters into stars. They have them only fight the right fights until they make it big time. Then these fighters can pick and choose who they want. It's been the blueprint for years now.

Of course he's a great fighter but Khan has the style to beat him. That's why they're trying to make this fight. I've told all you guys GBP is out there scooping up fighters because they want to play puppet master. Campbell will come out of shape against Ortiz so Ortiz will shine. Ruiz will fall for Haye and Marquez will always be a step behing Khan. This is exactly how it will play out. Trust me

I agree in part. I think Khan is more willing to fight, but Golden Boy are clearly protecting him so they can gradually turn him into the 'Golden Boy'.

But the Marquez fight will be a joke. He weighed in what against Mayweather, 142, 143? A couple of pounds less isn't going to give him back his speed and sharpness that's needed against Khan.

At 135 definitely, it will be meaningful. At 140 it's going to be very difficult for Marquez.

Brave Khan has avoided rematches with Prescott and Barrera (Barrera wanted a rematch because the cut really should have rendered the fight a no contest). Brave Khan avoided British and European honors on the way up and is happy to bravely say he will fight anyone but hide behind his promoters and Roach when they decide against an opponent.

dont think you can blame the kid himself for certains fights not happening, khan does have courage just the promoters dont, i mean he showed ambition to make the move to a U.S promoter so he make something of himself, fight the best, and become legend, he didnt think warren could provide this. I think hes just a victim of his own popularity/money making potential, he will fight best eventually, i think they just want a safe introduction into the U.S market, so people will get to know khan while hes looking good, but blame GBP or HBO if you dont like their strategy, not the fighter.

it's truly a shame that khan doesnt share your confidence in his abilities, then he would go from being a "china chinned ducker" to an actual respected boxer
