Comments Thread For: Mayweather-Khan Hits UK Stadium in The Next 18 Months?

[TLC8]

LOL, Right Up Floyd's Alley; The SAFEST Route To The Bank...Amir Khan? REALLY??? LOL!

Floyd is all abut the money. He's NEVER been about fighting the best of the best, in their PRIME. He's all about strategically picking the softest opponent possible, that makes him the most money. Certainly not how legends, Hagler, Leonard, Hearns, Duran, Arguello, Chavez Sr, Ali, Ray Robinson, Evander Holyfield, Mike Tyson managed their careers. Amir Khan has been knocked out, knocked down, made to look bad in the ring, and YET Floyd throws that name out there without a bllink of an eye. YOU seriously think Amir Khan would be a larger draw abroad that Manny Pacquiao????? Floyd's latest excuse for not fighting Pacquiao is for two consecutive losses, not marketable. LOL!!!! And Amir Khan has dominated who?????? Got knocked out in 4 rounds by Danny Garcia. Floyd always hand picks the safest route to the bank. Anyone that doesn't recognize that, is as in denial as a drunk.

Pac got KO'd..badly!

So though i agree Khan has done nothing to deserve this fight, maybe try to ease up on the hate cause i can see it is raging in you from this post.

Lol at people mentioning brooke!

Nobody knows who he is!

Guy aint fought noone!

I think Brook would provide a stiffer challenge than Diaz/Molina.

Why do some boxing fans let nostalgia somehow rewrite history?

Some of these guys swear Hagler, Hearns, Duran and SRL never took an easy fight. Ray refused to give Hearns an immediate rematch and Hearns ducked Marin Hagler for years. Duran avoided Wilfred and Hagler fought a stream of bums (Mugaba, Mustapha).

Duran fought Wilfred Benitez and Mustafa Hamsho and Mugabi were absolutely not bums.

I think Floyd wanting to fight Khan after what we saw at the weekend is a total joke.
And Brooke has fought no one yet.

Id love Floyd to come to the uk, but i seriously am losing all respect for the man.

GBP got a great thing going in the 140/147lb division. I thought MW was gonna have the best year, but with Sergio out of the loop, it seems like WW is back on top.

I was looking forward to Thurman/Maidana too. I wonder if Maidana will still take the fight considering it will be for a world title. Assuming they both take care of business vs. Chaves and Josesito.

I would love to see Maidana duck Thurman again and would be lovely to see what excuse he will use then. I'm not saying he will but it would be interesting to see.

Wait a minute... I'm no boxing history expert but I couldve sworn right after Duran beat Leonard he turned to the crowd, grabbed his balls and called out Benitez?

I think you could be right but until he picks up the level of the opposition we'll never know..

[ma51f]

Hows that? Biggest fighter coming to the UK, i think he can fight a non-UK fighter and still sell So why everyone jumping on UK fighters only

Nope he wouldnt..

Most people who attend are casual boxing fans..

Most prob never heard of mayweather..

[Juof]
