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

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

    Way to waste two years of your prime.
    Its quite simple, Khan is keeping the risk at a minimal, in order to land high payday fights.

    Its not too difficult to see what Khan and his team are doing. For example: Team Khan would rather sit on the shelf than take a risky opponent prior to a potential Brook fight.

      He chases fights and over looks decent opposition. . . . Should have fought Devon Alexander when he had the chance, has opportunity to fight Thurman or Brook now, but if his eyes are hungry for Floyd or Pac he'll over look those and end up fighting someone **** instead.

        I think there's only one opponent who makes the most sense for Khan right now and that's Keith Thurman. Think about it; Brook just beat the undefeated powerhouse Shawn Porter and Khan can match that by beating another undefeated powerhouse in Keith Thurman. This is would be the perfect way to hype up a match between Khan and Brook. Plus, beating Thurman would also make Khan the mandatory for one of Floyd's belts.

        This would also be the perfect opportunity for Thurman to beat a big name and finally putting an end to all of this "he ain't beat nobody" mess. Yesterday, Thurman even said that Khan is one of the guys he wants to fight.

        So right now, I'm all for Khan vs. Thurman.

          That makes great sense, however it is highly unlikely because Khan has little desire to get in the ring with Thurman. Screw the nonsense BS, that Thurman doesn't bring anything to the table ... What more does Lopez bring to the table than Thurman ....... Its a con-job.

            I think he kept holding out for a Mayweather fight and didn't want to slip up against someone again.

              How about Andre Berto? He's coming off a decent tuneup win and looking to get back into the mix

                This is why I am not a Khan fan. He keeps saying he deserves fights with Mayweather and Pacquiao. He does not deserve these fights until he beats a top 10 world rated welterweight and I mean rated top 10 by everybody. He was KOed by Garcia 26 months ago. He has had only 3 fights since then. Every fight he has had since the Garcia loss I have gone to boxrec to see where his opponent was ranked because they are the only ones that rank fighters so far below top ten. Molina was not even in the top 100 and Diaz was not in the top 50. Collazo was ranked 28th. If he fights Lopez that would be the best fighter he has fought since Garcia because Lopez is ranked number 24 right now. If Khan fights and defeats Brook he will have actually earned a Mayweather fight and will most likely get the Mayweather fight. I think Brook will probably knock Khan out if they fight.

                  It's simple: Khan knows he will lose to the top guys, but knows he can get paid for Brook or Mayweather. He knows he will lose to both, but would rather lose to Mayweather so he can still say 'Everyone loses to Floyd, id still beat Brook'. He knows if he fights Thurman in December, neither will happen because he will get knocked out.

                  That's the mentality of Khan, we ALWAYS hear abou how Khan is looking at Guerrero, Alexander, Thurman etc. but they never happen, why? Al Haymon could get it together, so why dosent it happen? Because Khan mentions names, dosent try to make the fights and then when it doset he says they ducked him and he knows his fanatic fans will believe him and just say 'Khan is too quick, blah blah he would beat them blah blah'.
