Amir was eager to fight on July. He wanted to fight Katsidis or Maidana on July 31. Maidana couldnt fight and Katsidis priced himself out by asking $ 1 million dollars. Everybody was hating on Amir for choosing Casamayor, so Team Khan figured it would be better not to fight at all then.Originally posted by //-GreatJoe-//This is ridiculous.
I'm tired of how boxing is filled with these part timers.
2 1/2 months was plenty of time to fight again.
Twice a year is not taking the sport seriously, especially for someone like Khan who is young and its not as if his fights are "MEGA" events yet.
Sort it out.Comment

Where is Devon Alexander on that list?Originally posted by //-GreatJoe-//1 Timothy Bradley
2 Amir Khan
4 Marcos Rene Maidana
5 Victor Ortiz
6 Nate Campbell
7 Kaizer Mabuza
8 Ajose Olusegun
9 Demetrius Hopkins
10 Yoshihiro Kamegai
11 Paul Malignaggi
12 Andriy Kotelnik
13 Junior Witter
14 Juan Urango
15 Julio Diaz
Thats boxrec's Top 15 for the division.
Since the date is quite soon, You can't expect a MEGA fight.
But still, 2 Good names and 1 or 2 OK names is better than fighting just 2 Good names a year.
Surely he could have fought someone in that list.Comment

Nobody wants to see the Casamayor fight this is why his return is being pushed back.Khan should just fight Maidana at the end of the year then.Time to man up.Comment

I never heard him saying he wanted to fight Maidana.No real talk's anyway.Amir was eager to fight on July. He wanted to fight Katsidis or Maidana on July 31. Maidana couldnt fight and Katsidis priced himself out by asking $ 1 million dollars. Everybody was hating on Amir for choosing Casamayor, so Team Khan figured it would be better not to fight at all then.Comment

It's just this new era ain't it .I remember Mayweather something similar as well .It's money man and hunger .Fighters ain't fighting in adversity at that level so they're not as hungry .Archie Moore's boxed 1479 rounds and Mayweathers boxed 299 .Mayweather still thinks he's the best fighter that ever lived.Originally posted by //-GreatJoe-//This is ridiculous.
