Well, Khan is NOT available now up till December ie more options will free up till then.

Promoter Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Sport is confident that Kell Brook (32-0, 22KOs) will make good on his career expectations by defeating Shawn Porter (24-0-1,
Brook winning a title would be his first U.S. soil fight and you really think he'd get Pac-May fight on a PPV?
I don't care who Khan fights just as long it is at least a Legit Welterweight Contender and if he wins then it would make people take a Khan vs Mayweather match up MORE SERIOUS. Instead of him playing it safe until Mayweather says YES. It has to be done IN THE RING, can't just talk your way into a match up.
As for the belt part, Guerrero brings a name a proven one for that matter. Thurman does neither a belt nor a name.
I'm not making this about belts, but the point is that Khan has to gain something by fighting Thurman or anyone. Porter-Brook winner is perfect in that sense, because a belt makes Khan an attractive option over night (starpower PLUS a belt), but if he gets Maidana rematch in Dec or Guerrero then those guys are proven names that also help his case for Floyd.
Belt or a Name.
I wonder what would then be the excuse if say the WBA was to get that Belt from Mayweather and put up for Thurman who is the Mandatory for it right now and the Interim and Khan...I still don't think he would accept the challenge because he know like the fans know, Thurman is DANGEROUS and has the Power to test that CHIN!
Why can't fans just be honest and say "I Don't Like That Match Up For My Favorite Fighter Because I Am Not Sure He Can Win" instead of these AWFUL EXCUSES like "HE IS NOT A BIG NAME" and "HE DOESN'T HAVE A BELT" but yet this guys last 3 Opponents did not have any of those things eitherLast edited by Box-Office; 07-16-2014, 08:43 PM.Comment

Difference is this.....all Khan has done since losing those fights is beat Luis Collazo......
Maidana after losing to Alexander ended up beating Karass, Lopez, and Broner for a title. Better than just Collazo.
Guerrero after losing to Salido, came back and picked up two wins over Top 10 WW's in Berto and Aydin.
Cotto though he didn't really much after losing to Manny aside from Yuri Foreman which was decent I guess.....he's Miguel Cotto. He's instantly better than Amir Khan.
Ortiz after losing to Maidana came back and got a should be W over Peterson, and beat down undefeated Berto. Better than Collazo.
And Mosley after losing to Cotto went on to beat Margarito. Better than Collazo.
There's the difference.Comment

And Maidana Could Have Khan Problems, Alexander Problems; What's The Difference
Floyd has a ducking problem. He says who Khan has problems to fix with, who Pacquiao has problems with, could have made the same statement of Maidana. Floyd always has a story, he pretends to be intelligent, literate, educated, which he's not. He's scared to death to lose to Manny Pacquiao, period. His whole career is centered around marketing & promoting his "0". Hence all the hand picking opponents and WHEN to fight them. He's a weasel. He admitted at this last presser, the media kept him relevant for 18 years. Oops, u probably didn't mean that Floyd, right. Your boxing hasn't kept you relevant that's for sure. Always has a story for not fighting Manny. You're scared to lose to him. What a weasel.Comment

I get you. It's just unfortunate that between Ramadan and Mayweather's excuses, Khan may never face Floyd.Comment
