    Why has it been such a tiring/difficult task getting Khan a credible opp?

    I mean Molina, coo tune-up, Diaz okay, he's still rebounding, Collazo yawn...okay next fight will be the one, now Jose Lopez....dude this is gettin ****in sad.

    I'm a Khan fan, and I'm getting frustrated with this nonsense.

    Way to waste two years of your prime.

        he still thinks he's qualified for the Mayweather/Pacquiao fights and doesn't want to lose because he knows he's not good enough to be in there with someone like Keith Thurman or even Devon Alexander. It's what Cotto is doing now at middleweight, he knows he'll lose to the other top middleweights so he's waiting until May. That's been Khan's strategy for the last couple years now.

            Same reason garcia is fighting Salka's. People too scared to lose cus they know or think they can get Floyd or Pacquiao next year, thus the soft opposition.

              The people behind him don't believe in him anymore. They're manoeuvring for a big payoff, not looking to climb the ladder the hard way again.

              I think the setbacks have disheartened Khan too, despite his bravado.

                Trying to find the easiest route to the biggest fights, it hasn't worked and it likely won't.

                  khan should accept his mediocrity and go get KO'ed by thurman.

                    To make matters worse even if he can't get Floyd that Brook fight is looking pretty big also so now he has something he can fall back on so there is not even that much risk of him getting left by the side of the road again.


                    It would be kind of funny if him playing it safe ends up hurting him again and he somehow misses out on both those opportunities.
