Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Not Focused on Brook, I Want Bigger Names

[HEND]

I watched that fight yesterday, scored it 114-111 to Khan. Without referee intervention I had it 116-109.

Maidana is better than Peterson, but Kotelnik beat Maidana and Alexander on the road. Probably Khan's best win.

Depends on if you separate the old crude Maidana and the one under Garcia as they would be different fighters or not. I personally separate them because I fnd a big difference between them and I think that crude version is worse than Peterson, however this version is better than any version of Peterson imo. This is why I said Petrson was a better "win" for Khan. As for Kotelnik I can't describe his place well enough among these guys but maybe he was a better wi than Peterson, I don't know. Not better opponent than Danny Garcia (not the recent version) though.
Current Maidana would be his best opponent up to pair with the version of Garcia he fought.

you don't deserve the big names

If Khan does not get the Mayweather fight, he will fight Thurman in an all PBC fight. Brook can wait until next year July 2016 for a huge fight in an open roof stadium (old Trafford or Wembley). Brook and Hearn need to understand that even if Khan loses, the Brook fight will always be there.

True enough, but the money split would not be the same. Hearn has said they would take B side money if they fought now. Doubt that would be the case if Khan takes another L.

Khan wants a big US fight, its as simple as that

Pac, Cotto, Floyd..any one of them will do

Brook is simply a insurance policy

Doesn't he realise that thanks to signing with Haymon, fights with Pacquiao (TR/HBO), Cotto (RN), Canelo (GBP) aren't makeable?

Unless there's some sort of turnaround, in terms of big PPV fights across the water, it's Mayweather or bust.

Thrown him straight into the deep end?

He's fought Carlos Molina, Emmanuel Taylor and John Molina since getting wrecked by Maidana.

Straight in doe.

He's also fighting Porter at a catchweight - a man who has had to strip naked to make 147 in his last few fights and used to fight at Jnr Middleweight.

Deep end doe.

Taylor is one of Algerie's biggest wins, and from what I remember people were crying that Broner wasn't fighting John Molina after the Matthysse fight. But if you really want to see how the comp has been stepped up since PBC came about, look Chavez jr's last fight. Look at Danny's. Danny's showed us Haymon will match them tough as long as he owns both fighters

Cotto, Canelo, Pacquiao and the likes are all difficult to make. Cotto and especially Canelo won't be working with Haymon, at any point.

This happened last time also, said he'd love to fight Cotto and then fought Algieri.

Yea thats going to be the stumbling block

He might leave Haymon if the Floyd fight doesnt happen in Sep

There is a big chance he gets that fight imo

Can't blame Khan. Why would he focus on a guy whose best win is against a mediocre fighter in a boring clinching fest? So stooopid.

Fighting Algieri was a much better option than a world title fight, in front of 80,000 people which would earn him the highest payday of his career.


You're the stooopid one.
