Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Says Guerrero, Alexander Still The Targets

[Uklad]

perhaps but, as Khan says himself, either one is just a "stay busy fight"!

why not Thurman?

why not winner of Porter-Brook for title?

why not Bradley?

Porter-Brook winner Yes.


Thurman? No. Guerrero and Alexander are bigger names than Thurman,cmon, you know that.

[Uklad]

If Khan beat Alexander now, it won't be as meaningful because Porter already beat him. If Porter wins impressively this Saturday, then I believe he deserves to be next for Mayweather. Khan needs to beat Thurman to make a statement that he's a top 147. Thurman does not have a fight scheduled yet, so he should be the target for Khan. Khan should realize that he's in a competition for Mayweather, and right now Porter is winning. The only way to stay close is beating Thurman.

Look the problem is Khan might be ready to fight Thurman.


Would Al Hayman and GBP allow him to? No?

People really hate Khan on here, the guy has one of the better resumes at 27.


People complain their hearts out for Khan vs Mayweather, but they are okay with Mayweather fighting slow plodders? but not a fast volume puncher in Khan?

I for one really believe that Khan can give Mayweather some real business inside the ring.

Khan finally back to his normal self. Nice to know he's got his confidence back. I enjoy watching Khan fight. It's just when him and his fans try to rewrite history or (erase) when he gets pasted that offends me. Anyhow both or either are solid fights, which I expect him to lose, although in style.

Bigger names huh?? Yeah I'd use that excuse myself. We know the real reason though, don't we?!

You might want to assume that Haymon will say no, but you know what happens when you assume. Right now, and for the past six months, I have never heard Khan talk about Thurman. I hear the same names; Alexander and Guererro. I hear talks of Porter fighting Thurman, and Porter fighting Marquez, which are bigger fights, not to mention Porter fighting Brook (who Khan doesn't want to fight). So if Mayweather chooses Porter, it will be no one's fault but Khan!

Why should a guy with an extensive résumé like Khan's feel compelled to fight a guy with no big names on his résumé, specifically when he's trying to audition for a Floyd fight in May.

Yeah, I get what you're implying (he's a dangerous puncher, ooh Khan is afraid) but the same Khan haters like yourself who would latch onto Thurman's nuts if he was Khan's next opponent would **** on Thurman if Khan ever beat him.

You'd claim to be more impressed with the winner of Brook / Porter and say "Khan doesn't deserve Floyd next, all he did was expose a hypejob"

If Mayweather wants to fight a guy with an impressive resume @ 140, then he might as well fight Danny garcia, the guy who knocked Khan out. Khan is not Mayweather's only option. He needs a big fight, not a "tick-off" fight to secure a match for Cinco de Mayo. Thurman or Porter is the way to go, not Alexander or Guererro.

Does Amere Con actually fight or just run his mouth 12 months a year? I think the public has nearly forgot about him due to his lack of activity. He has no relevance in the sport until he makes some moves and gets the public on him.
He basically thinks he can rig the lottery and instantly get a Pac, Fraud Jr. fight without putting in the work. When I say work, I mean, simply staying busy and getting his name out there and becoming something.
On the other hand, I understand what he's looking at. These days you don't need to have accomplished anything to fight the top names in the sport. You can have the Salka, Algieri, and Ortiz type fights when they aren't anything special to pose any type of threats to the champs.

Ok and I get what you're saying but who's to say Porter won't think to himself, "I'm the front-runner for Floyd right now, why the hell do I need to turn around and fight Amir Khan at the end of November, only 3 months from now. Even if I do, then I better be getting 50% of all money, even Khan's UK TV revenue". See how you can throw up obstacles?

Khan is gotta get a fight date and an opponent now and Porter isn't gonna be in the mood to pull the trigger on a deal for a November/December fight like the day after he fights on Saturday.

If Brook pulled the upset though, I think it's pretty obvious Khan would fight him immediately and that Brook would want to do the same. Huge money for both.
