Comments Thread For: Khan Moving Past Mayweather, Focusing on Pacquiao?

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Is Amir Khan (30-3, 19KOs) beginning to move past WBC/WBA welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. (47-0, 26KOs)? For the better part of the last two years, Khan has pursued a Mayweather fight.

After moving up to welterweight last year, and dominating former champion Luis Collazo and Devon Alexander, Khan started a day to day verbal campaign of pressing Mayweather for a May 2nd clash. He even signed a contract with adviser Al Haymon, who also works with Mayweather.

But last month at the WBC convention in Las Vegas, Mayweather brushed off any discussion of facing Khan - after telling reporters that Khan's name didn't carry "enough weight" for a high profile pay-per-view.

Another day another BS story that changes nothing.

Pac-Khan would be more exciting than any fight involving Floyd.

No it isn't.

Khan signed with Haymon only to get the Floyd fight! Haymon uses Mayweather name as a selling point to sign fighters on a possible Mayweather fight! Chavez Jr even stated that he was told that a possible match up against Floyd was possible! Khan has been looking like a jack*ss for the last two years chasing Floyd. Khan should have being doing his own thing! To his own fault, he's let T.M.T. dictate his career! Now he gets nothing in the end! I don't blame Haymon, he's doing his business!!

How people can defend this guy is beyond me, I'll support him in fights cause he's British, but that is it.

Now he's trying to play May and Pac off against each other. He's so so desperate to fight Mayweather that he's resorted to try and take away the dance partner he needs to rival Canelo Cotto. Give it a rest son, you're embarrassing yourself.

Oh well, guess that neither Khan's or Pacquiaos names carry "enough weight" for a high profile pay-per-view.

Maybe he can rematch Ortiz and Guerrero In his last two fights.

Khan is not going to get the Manny fight either! The best fight for him is Brook nut it's clear Khan doesn't want that fight right now! I can see Khan taking another easy fight if he passes on the Brook fight!
