Comments Thread For: Khan Discusses Mayweather-Maidana, The Future, More

I actually think he was doing great with Roach myself. Roach had Khans offense on fire, but we can't blame Roach for that chin. And if you look at Khan's last two fights he is still getting hit often.

But Roach was good for his offense I believe.

Roach style of training lacks any defense. Against good counter puncher or fighter that are just as fast as pac or Kahn his style of training suxs.
This is why pac never fights anyone that is just as fast as himself, or has the ability to think in the ring.

He left Roach cause he felt neglected. He said there was too much focus on Pac and none on him.

Richard Schaefer led him on, who himself was led on by Floyd

Anyways Khan needs to forget about Floyd Cherrypicker and fight someone else finish his contract and move over to Top Rank and fight Pac or Bradely

Golden Boy dont have Khans back

I think and believe GBP is more interested in fighters that PRODUCE!!!!

Khan, at present isn't bringing in any serious paper, and his last four fights haven't shown much promise. So, what good is a fighter that doesn't win convincingly and is barely getting the nod on the cards?

Khans problem is that he's great only in his own mind, all his fights are showing otherwise. Still in spite of all those deficits, his fan-base is what keeps him relevant and in the game.

If he continues to struggle with C-level opponents, then he's going to get pushed further and further down the pack. Because Promoters are in the game to make money, and a losing\barely winning fighter isn't a good prospect for investment.

lol freddie at the time was training a lot of dudes, khan was usually that #2 guy, because manny was his big guy he had for so many years. you cant blame freddie for making pacman a bigger priority. almost like expecting floyd sr to focus on mickey bey more instead of his son.

Its over man. Quit talking about Floyd and go find an opponent.

[Tonyu]

Oh dear Khan the reason you were advised not to fight Devon is your team don't trust your chin there would of been 5 months between fights so no excuses, your team don't trust your chin. It wll be interesting to see who your opponent will be as there is a good chance you will be ko'd and destroy any future Mayweather fight.

[Realizniguhnit]

Khan should have read in between the lines and went ahead with the fight with Alexander. It made 0 sense to pull out imo. Why else would they advise him not to take a fight other then them not having faith in him winning.

And If Khan thinks Floyd held his career up then wtf does he think he just did with Alexander's career a few months back when he was talking all that shyt for months then pulled out of the fight? Porter was a last minute replacement.

Any proof of this or is it just typical pulling something out of your butt?

Have you read the article you are commenting on?

Boxing Contracts 101: Only the contracted promoter of a fighter can offer said fighter a contract for a fight. i.e. GBP!!!!!

Floyd can't offer Khan shit, Floyd can only make an offer to GBP to fight one of their fighters -- But the agreement is between Floyd and GBP!!!!

GBP then offers the contract to Khan ....

In this instance, GBP fucked up by offering this moron a contract that wasn't approved by Floyd. And since no promoter can tell Floyd who to fight -- Khan got burned.

This isn't a Pac\Arum situation where Arum tells Manny who, when and where to fight -- Floyd has the first and last word, period.

Nah!!! He's reaching in quite deep .....

As if the technicalities matter

The orders are coming from the same guy.

So what did Khan sign? it obviously contained stipulations which had been agreed by Mayweather. He didn't just sign a contract that said I will fight Floyd Mayweather May 3rd.
