Comments Thread For: Mayweather's Stance on September Rules Out Khan

[rasdun]

Anyway, Khan has only himself to blame. You want to fight Mayweather, you take on the toughest challenges you can, win, and make the fans demand it, like they did with pacquiao. Wins over Collazo and Alexander are good, but not sooo impressive that fans are clamoring to see Khan again, like when Pac had his run of de la Hoya, hatton and Cotto Knockouts.

I know Floyd doesn't always take the toughest opponents, and he should've fought Khan instead of maidana imo. BUT, hes fighting Pac!
If he fought Khan, people would say he continues to duck Pac. Now hes fighting Pac, and you say he's continuing to duck Khan. C'mon

No matter who he fights, he will also be ducking someone else. As utterly ******ed as this is, that's how NSB works.

Indian food has become my favorite food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Khan has no one to blame but himself. He should have fought Alexander in 2013, back when he had the IBF strap.

Khan's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. He thinks wins over shot, recovering alcoholic Collazo and Algieri who lost every round to Pacquiao will get him a shot at Floyd.

Imagine the tantrum Khan's going to throw when Floyd retires in September.

This is not true of every person, I used to fast and it did not have any ill affects on me. And like I said most boxers don't eat during training and they usually wake up to run before the sun comes up so he would do fine it would be just like another training camp. Its the same thing most boxers do to make weight.

This is ridiiculous, you wont be able to get the nutrition you need eapecially f you're an athlete. I myself fast and doing moderate exercise is tiring, it would be ridiculous asking a world class athlete to train while starving for 26 hours. No no

The fact that Khan actually thought he was EVER going to get a shot is laughable.

I thought they only fast while the sun is out and then stuff their faces? Sleeping through the day and training at night solves all the problems.

Both camps in talks for a while now, was short listed with maidana, won the poll, signed the contract in case if he was chosen. Why wouldn't he think so? Same adviser, clearly Haymon has been telling Khan that he is very close, hence he didn't fight Alexander.

Fasting before sunrise to sunset. This can be as long as 20 hours in the summer. The fact is Khan knew this since after the Alexander fight, thats why he was so desperate to get Floyd in May, as it was May or never due to Ramadan. Now he just has to hope Pacquiao doesn't retire and is willing to fight in Nov-Dec.
