Comments Thread For: Khan: I Never Duck a Challenge, I Want Mayweather

[SirTomJones]

Its not debatable. Khan ducked Maidana for a whole year and then tried to get out of fighting him, Maidana had to beg the WBA to force the fight. Its a fact. That's duckery in my eyes. Fair play to Khan he eventually fought him and beat him in a great fight. Now Maidana wants a rematch (that's a challenge) and doesn't want any of it (that's ducking).

All I'm saying is don't say you have never ducked a challenge when you clearly have.

Khan fought him."I never duck a challenge". Obviously Khan doesn't seen Maidana as a challenge. Maidana was saved by the bell in the first. Last fight against Morales he looked like trash. Don't see how looking terrible against a past it fighter warrants a fight with the top guy in the division.

You're are missing my point bro. Doesn't matter if Prescott is nothing now. He has called Khan out and Khan won't fight him. So he has ducked that challenge.

As for Maidana stepping aside for a year before they had their fight, well its common knowledge. He was Khans Mandatory. He was paid to step aside for a year or 3 fights, whichever came first and then they were supposed to fight. After the year was up Khan still didn't want the fight and Maidana had to write a letter to the WBA to force Khan to take the fight. Like I said, its common knowledge.

As for Kell Brook not being on Khans level, that also irrelevant. Point is he called him out and Khan doesn't want it.

I'm not saying he won't beat these guys.
Might point is simply this. Don't say you don't duck a challenge when you clearly have.

Its all well and good saying this and that fighter aint on his level so he shouldn't fight them. He aint ducking, they aint on his level. But Khan isn't on Mayweathers level so you can't then call Mayweather a duck if he doesn't want to fight Khan.

Wait so a boxer has to face everyone who ever calls him out or it’s a duck? Do you know how absurd that is? Also the list of fighters you accused Khan of ducking is laughable.

Presscot has fallen into obscurity Khan has said on several occasions if he works his way into contention then the rematch can happen.

Kell Brook is not even fighting at Khans current weight class and its smack in the face obvious he is craving a pay day against Khan.

As for Maidana the fight already happened and Khan clearly won (less than a year ago) who’s saying a rematch won’t happen down the line at 147?

I aint going to even reply to the Maidana was saved by the bell rubbish.
And Maidana doesn't want to fight the top guy in the division, he wants to fight Khan instead.

What's ya point??You are. Khan fan,so what??Fact is Peterson is a better fighter then Mcflurry and Prescott laid Khan out..He is yet to fight either one of umm...

That really carries little weight especially due to the fact that Khan originally tried to make the fight with Peterson. Oh and you can bet your bottom dollar that Bradleys next opponent wont be on Khans level (unless his dream comes true and he is able to cash out against Pac).

And Maidana doesn't want to fight the top guy in the division, he wants to fight Khan instead.

Khan is almost universally accepted as the top guy at 140 right now.

Khan fought Mcflurry instead of Peterson and also did not rematch prescott,just saying...

Please do some research before holding this against Khan, but I agree It was a perfect time to fight Prescott instead of McChicken.

Oh, and get off bardley's nuts.

I agree with you that you can fight everyone who call you out. But what about a guy who sparked you out in 54 seconds? And don't give me no story about Prescott falling into obscurity because anyone would want to avenge that loss. And everyone knows that fight would be huge in the UK so it would make plenty of money for Khan. He's just ducking plain and simple.

Amir offered Peterson a fight when he didn't even have to. He offered him 3 times Peterson's biggest ever payday.

I don’t see it as ducking until Prescott works his way into contention ever since the Khan fight he has looked like a ‘one hit wonder’ he is living off a past glory. What he should be doing is beating top guys at Khans weight class and forcing himself into contention. The McCloskey fight is a step in the right direction but if he loses and i think he probably will the Khan fight may well be out of his reach for good.

And I’m someone who would have liked to see a rematch at some point.

I agree with you, a lot of people think that.

Me personally I think Bradley is the best and Khan is number 2. I just don't see how the number 2 guy beats the number 6th or 7th guy (Judah) and becomes number one. But that's just me.
