Is Amir Khan P4P the Most Feared Fighter Since Mike Tyson?

[sugarsmosley]

seriously.... some of the khan fans here have to be the most delusional fanbase i have seen here. why is it so hard for some of you to understand, he hasnt looked good and deserved a fight with mayweather.

[komodo]

Ducked by Mayweather, Bradley and Broner. Whilst Ward is in denial about how Amir beat him up in sparring.

Add JMM to the list and you're closer to the truth.

Plus who knows the countless other elite fighters that have ducked Khan over the years that we just don't know about.

Hopefully science can one day unearth the truth.

Of course it's different in some respects because Tyson was a loose canon and the fear was of a different nature. With Khan, it's a case of boxers realizing that they might have difficulty with Khan's style and speed (if he doesn't fight wreckless) so they rather avoid the Khan fight. Both Mayweather and Broner have avoided him back-to-back so it got me speculating as to the possibility of Khan being one of the most (if not the most) feared fighter since Mike Tyson?

After Tyson lost he was still just as feared by many fighters and so the same scenario remains for Khan - even though he has lost before he still presents a formidable test to any elite fighter in the division and we're seeing even the p4p #1 avoid the fight, along with his protege Broner.

So what do you think? Following Mayweather and Broner avoiding the Khan fight and keeping in mind that he's been ducked previously by Bradley, Marquez, Alexander and Garcia (rematch) - is Khan the most p4p feared fighter around?

Dude, put that blunt down & just say no!!

here's my list of fighters that have been running scared of Amir the king Khan

1. Bradley - ducked him for pacquiao (WOW can you say chicken!!)

2. Mayweather - ducked him for his leopard speed that would've given him "big big pruhblems"

3. Pacquiao - hid behind freddie roach for years runnign SCARED of the goat himself

4. Danny Garcia - fought matthysse (blatant duck of the rematch)

5. Wladimir Klitschko - says he's too "big" for khan when really hes just too lazy to get into shape

6. Sugar Ray Robinson - the clearest duck of all, he even died on purpose before Khan could get to him, he was chicken scared of him.

This thread is a complete joke.

The fact is that Mayweather avoided Khan even after Khan had won his official 'next opponent' poll. If any other boxer had done that the entire boxing world would label it as a "duck" - and one of the most public and visible ducks in recorded history too.

Broner is currently in the process of avoiding Khan too, his team aren't responding to calls. And Bradley admitted in a live interview that he could lose to Khan so he'd rather not risk that. They all clearly avoided Khan. For you to make up random excuses for them all it's a waste of time - you aren't going to convince anyone they didn't avoid Khan when the facts speak for themselves. The ducks we've seen (particularly Mayweather and Bradley ducking Khan) are highly visible and out in the open for all to see. Your reasoning, explanations (or excuses) are just ideas you've thought up to try and explain away their actions but they just give me the impression that you'd rather come up with excuses than accept the truth about the situation and admit that they ducked Khan.

how can you duck someone who isnt good enough to fight you in the first place? khan lost two in a row, the second by brutal KO. after that he had two tune up fights against two blown up lightweights, one who never fought at world level and another who is way past his prime. neither being a big puncher yet the latter put him on the canvas.

thats what khan has achieved since getting knocked out, beating julio diaz and carlos molina. in what universe does that get you mayweather? how can you possibly justify khan getting a shot at mayweather after those two wins coming off two straight losses?

you cant.. and neither could floyd. khan may have won the poll but people all over the world were ripping floyd apart over the idea of getting in the ring with khan. why? because that would have been a true duck and not of a single fighter either, had he fought khan he would have been ducking just about the whole damn welterweight division. thats how many fighters are more worthy of fighting mayweather.

bradley didnt fight khan because he wanted to get pacquiao, which is exactly what happened. if thats a duck then khan ducked alexander as he did EXACTLY the same thing with him, worse actually since they actually negotiated the fight and devon agreed to all of amirs terms.

as for broner, it doesnt take a rocket scientist to figure out that fight wont happen. GBP promotes fights to make money, not throw it down the drain. they invested too much in both fighters to let it all slip away and in the position they are both in atm that would happen if either man took a loss. so its a lose/lose situation for GBP. deosnt have anymore to do woth broner than it does khan, broner would fight khan in a heartbeat. there is no reason to blame him more than khan when it doesnt happen, you just made it up in your mind that anytime a fight doesnt happen its because people are afraid of khan regardless of how ludicrous it is.

i mean seriously.. floyd ducking khan? whats next? wlad ducking audley harrison? ward ducking peter manfredo?

The power of the Con is strong!!!!

These delusional Con-ette's already believe:

That a twitter poll should be honored by Floyd

• Con received a contract from Mayweather (An illegal action BTW)
• Con is a multimillionaire and is only fighting for the glory
• Con doesn't need to fight his way up the food-chain, because he's entitled
• Con is a great boxer, without ever proving it

• Con didn't need to avenge his losses because he's moving forward to bigger and better things

• Con doesn't run like a freakin wounded deer when he gets clipped during a fight -- They call it lateral movement

The list can go on & on, proving just how much of the kool-aid these guys have drunk over the years.

Look at the freakin resume ......

Every B-C level fighter he fought, he either loss, or squeaked by with a decision. There are no elite fighters anywhere to be found on his resume. He fought a Legend {Barerra} who had one foot in perm retirement. And fought a Zab Judah (His BEST WIN BY FAR) that was only after paychecks. He RAN from Maidana from the third round to the twelfth and yet these delusional conned fans talk like he was walking Maidana down and whippin his azz.


These are delusions of the highest order.

This is not the resume of a great fighter ........ PERIOD!!!!

These fools have been Conned by the greatest con-man in the history of the sport.

WHERE"S THE BEEF?????

[cameltoe]

I wish Khan would stay out of my gym. When he's in there there's no weights left for anyone else.

Seriously Khan probably was avoided by Bradley, but that's about it. Bradley then went on to fight Pacquiao, so it doesn't really hold true.

Khan now is avoided because he's seen as a bit of a joke unfortunately. Khan really needs a solid win on his resume to get back to where he was. A rematch with Pederson would be a good place to start.

He had the beating of Garcia if he'd just been more sensible. Until that left hook Garcia was taking a beating, and that left hook came with Garcia's head facing away and his eyes closed. I like Danny but to win in the style he did was more luck than judgement.

Khan needs to forget Brook (high risk-low reward) and really take out a high profile opponent. He never should have passed up Devon.

[iceman1]

the award for most ******ed thread goes to this

No way is khan feared LMFAO

what a joke thread

[TOBYLEE1]

A fighter ducks when he is your mandatory and either you side step him or vacate.

Nobody ducks Khan, he is easy money for any top fighter
