Comments Thread For: Team Amir Khan: We're Not Ducking Anyone For Dec. 11

[omarinbox]

You guys get it? The boy is being warmed up. I wish he was bought into the game like Cotto, but Cotto made some losses and I don't think Khan can deal with more losses. I think he has a lot of respect for JMM, more than he had for Paulie. Fighting someon you respect is hard, but a champ has to know how to do it.

If he beats him that will be a confidence boost and it will get him really riled up for cleaning up 140, if he does.

I can see him cleaning up 140, there is no doubt in my mind he has the ability. He just lacks the confidence.

And don't come back with all that talk about his big mouth. we all know the big mouth isn't the same as confidence.

If Amere Con isn't ducking anybody for the Dec. 11th date, the winner of Marquez-Diaz shouldn't even be an option, it should be Maidana.

I'm with you on that...but you gotta build this brain.

if he's not ducking anyone at 140 lbs, then why is jmm/diaz the frontrunner for the dec 11 fight???

[BritishBoxing92]

not ducking anyone??? what the?? if not ducking anyone then fight maidana...forget fighting lightweights stick to fighting jr welterweights and then people will believe you...

[Corelone]

What I don't get is how these fights aren't for his championship. Most other champions fight over thier weight in non title fights. He should be looking at welters and above for non title fights, but why go on with this farce? It's obvious that he's scared and he knows himself as well as anybody. His chin can't take a decent punch, so he looks for smaller, older guys to keep from being knocked out again. He's not ducking anybody since he's gone so low, he can't duck any further.

Please really if he fight Marquez its not going to boost his confidence thats a load of crap. So he is going to fight a smaller guy then get in the ring with guys from 140. That dont make sense the dude should be fight people his own weight but golden girl is protecting their weak ass investment so his glass jaw doesn't get broken again. Kon is sorry sack of ****

I would love to see Khan fight Ortiz.

That would be a great fight but would probably set back the career of the loser a long long ways.

Not at or + 140lbs, Marquez' ideal weight is 126. Do your homework, at 140 he's just a big name, at 126 he's a deadly machine. Sorry, no offense, your comment just made me laugh!

Agreed. Khan is 140lbs...he should be fighting in that division or bum 147lbs. The winner of Diaz vs JMM should be fighting Katsidis.

Typical! This is what they all do!
Pic n' choose is the name of the game
