Why are people making Khan out to be King Kong?

[alexguiness]

1) Brook fans state Khan has avoided punchers since Garcia when the *** Brook hasn't fought a puncher his whole career just pointing out the hypocrisy.

2) Probably the same reason why Brook ducked Bradley and chose to go the IBF route.

1) Pointing out the hypocrisy is not answering my question.

2) Brook ducking Bradley has nothing to do with Khan ducking Brook (or Bradley).

I'm not even a huge Brook fan, but anyone can see Khan was afraid to fight Brook and risk losing, same with Bradley.

That's why Khan took the Algieiri fight.

Other than speed, what makes Khan a "threat"?

[JaguaresMx]

if by "people" you mean 3 or 4 UK fans, then you're right to be puzzled

[FrankieBruno]

Because he is OP

Just like Paulie M has stated that it's hard to win rounds against Khan, even the likes of Danny Garcia has said himself that Khan is more of a skilled fighter then Lucas or any other fighters his been in there. The only way to beat Khan is exchange with him when he throws and only 3 fighters out of 30 have managed to beat Khan that way. Remember styles makes fights and as long as Khan fights in a disciplined way then he is a threat to anybody in the 147 division whether you like to admit it or not

The guy who couldn't handle Danny Garcia's power, who was out on his feet literally full survival mode in the last round against Maidana, who recently lost to Lamont Peterson is now supposed to be able to take Manny Pacquaio's power? LMAO, Khan would be KO3 against Pacquaio, they both will land shots for sure but Manny has a far better chin & defense, Manny can & will take what Khan has to give, Khan can't take even 30% of what Pacquaio's has to give, soon as the first straight left bomb lands the fight will be virtually over.

Amir King Khan lol the new p4p no.1 and the guy Mayweather been avoiding the last 5years

same reason you said Manny was going to destroy Floyd and accused Juan of being on steroids

It makes me laugh when people say Khan's speed will trouble Mayweather.

When fighters like Danny Garcia, Julio Diaz and Peterson all dealt with Khan's speed, why the hell wouldn't the best boxer on the planet?

Khan was beating Garcia on points before the KO. Khan beat Diaz by a wide decision. And Peterson was abusing steroids, and even then Khan led on points. Fact is that Khan has never been outboxed and beaten on points before. The only way he was ever legitimately beaten was by being KO'd with significant punching power. And Mayweather just doesn't have the power to do that. Styles make fights.

Why are people making it out like Khan's not a two time world champion and has fought bums his whole career?

Khan has defeated 8 world champions (Barrera, Kotelnik, Malignaggi, Maidana, Judah, Diaz, Collazo, Alexander), yet some like to pretend he only beat bums.
