Amir Khan - Legacy Or Money?

[S H O B O X]

the stench thread?????..................

Judging by the recent news for NSB about Amir Khan it seems that his career is currently being tailor made for 100% financial gain

Therefore there is 0 % career time available for legacy.

For Amir Khan it means his career is heading in the right direction for himself.

But for us fans it is heading in the wrong direction.

There is nothing wrong with financial gains in a career, it is absolutely necessary. However since he he won the world title I don't think khan has made mention of the word "legacy" in ANY of his succeeding interviews.

Why can't he have a balance between money and legacy?

why couldn't it be a 60:40 ratio?

Or even a 70:30 ratio?

Another interesting point to be made is the fights that are most appealing to fans usually do make the most money and of course it will add to your legacy.

Khan-maidana could have been a "piss poor" man's sonny liston moment. It's a shame he completely squandered the opportunity.

Brave fighters like Sugar Ray Leonard would have jumped at the opportunity to fight a big hitter, which he proved when he fought tommy hearns.

Remember when leonard-hearns fight was delayed so they could squeeze the maximum money out of it?

It seems richard shafeur is using the same "bulid up" reasoning with khan-maidana.

Do you think he is playing another propaganda stunt? or is he telling the truth?

Amir Khan, If Muhammad ALi is really your idol, why don't you model your career in the similar way?





ALi was SRL's idol and he followed a similar career pattern.

Guess what? he is now a top 10 p4p.

EDIT: thread reposted because of the hate title in the first one. I will call khan by his name which is: Amir Khan. It's disrespectful not to do so.

I believe that Khan does not have the defensive skills to protect his fragile chin from any skilled fighter with power.

Roach is very good at matchmaking so must feel that Khan is not ready yet to fight Maidiana, Alexander and Bradley.

Every training camp and fight since the Prescott KO Khan has looked better and I think he will continue to improve as hes still only 23.

My guess is that once he had improved sufficently enough to be able to not just beat Bradley/Alexander/Maidiana but do it comfortably to Roach's liking then we will see him step up and fight one of these guys.

They may well fancy their chances against Maidiana now so the fight could be made soon.

In answer to the TS's Q, at the minute for Khan it is about improving as a fighter and makeing as much money as possible by fighting easy fights, then when Roach feels he is ready he will fight for legacy.

Its easy to judge him on SRL and Alis standards but if he is not good enough to beat the top guys, you cant blame him for wanting easy paydays as 99% of us would do the same thing.

I still want to know when Khan said that great fighters always come back 'look at Muhammad Ali, he got knocked out & came back to win the title'...i still want to know when Ali got K.O'd & then returned to win the title like Khan said.

I slapped my face extremly hard when he said that. Then I did a double facepalm.

I think it was one of his interviews days before the malignaggi fight.

yes the chin is a flaw in my argument, I admit that. We know he dosent have one. But can this really be an excuse to pick on lightweights?

I think it's criminal.

Khan is nothing more than a money making puppet who is owned by GBP.
