Comments Thread For: Khan Leaves Mayweather Fight in Al Haymon's Hands

No not really

The usual double standards are being applied to Khan and everyone else I see.

Is is a race or religion thing ?

I mean imagine Khan had fought and stopped Frankie Gavin in 4 or just beat Peterson in a fight most think he lost. People would be saying theres no way he should fought Floyd after that. But he beats a name fighter and former world champ by UD by 6,6, and 2 rounds no less and there's no way he can fight Floyd.

It's not a race or religion thing Khan just doesn't deserve the fight.

You bring up Brook who is the IBF champ. Yes Gavin was a **** fight I admit but he's more deserving then Khan. Why? he has the strap . A belt which Khan could have had a long time ago but chose not too and could still get not but doesn't want too.

And bring up Garcia Please... Garcia KO'ed Khan he may have looked like **** lately but he definitely deserves it more then Khan.

This

Why do ya'll continue to post ****** **** like this?? Khan has no title and has not done jack **** at ww..Ortiz was the WBC champ and Guerrero was the interim champion..Khan should have fought Alexander when he was champ...or should have fought Brook instead of Algeri..he brings 0 to the table

^^^^^This.....

I'm sorry, but didn't Garcia KO Amir Khan? Khan SURVIVED Maidana and Diaz, and barely escaped a loss to Chris Algeri! History lesson:

Amir Khan, still a world champion but headed for hospital, mumbled through the bruises and cuts that dressed a face rearranged only moments before by Marcos Maidana: "I proved tonight I've got a chin."

What an understatement. The 4,632 fans scattered around an arena that holds twice that number in the bowels of the Mandalay Bay last night were brought to their feet in a frenzy in round 10 as the Argentinian challenger – who came to the fight with an 87% stoppage record – belted Khan from one side of the ring to the other.

He landed blows, unanswered, that would have destroyed any other fighter of comparable size in the world, including Khan's friend and stablemate, Manny Pacquiao. Yet, drawing on his phenomenal fitness, the boy from Bolton somehow remained upright to retain his WBA light-welterweight title. The judges gave it to him over 12 rounds by margins of 114-111 twice and 113-112. Had one judge, Jerry Roth, not bizarrely awarded the final round to the champion, Khan would have won by a single point on all three cards. I had him winning 115-112.

Amir Khan survived an early knockdown and a late onslaught to eke out an unconvincing points win over supposedly damaged goods in Julio Díaz, yet he was told within minutes of the decision that his next fight would be for a world title.

On his return to the UK after an absence of two years, the judges gave it to him 114-113, 115-113 and 115-112, but again Khan's lack of one-punch power allowed his opponent to force him into uncomfortable situations. He had the heart but not the hammer.

Khan picked up a win on Friday, outpointing Algieri in a unanimous decision. But if the goal was to look impressive—Hey, look at me Floyd!—the outcome was a defeat. Credit Algieri: Under the tutelage of John David Jackson, the brains behind Sergey Kovalev, Algieri was reinvigorated. He applied pressure. He loaded up. He stood in the pocket, took Khan’s best shot, grinned and kept on coming. The decision was fair—Khan edged Algieri in total punches (216–197) and power shots (154–145)—but far from decisive.

Do you see a pattern here?

Outstanding post!!!!

Really difficult to argue with fight documentation as it occurred, not as its being interpreted today by the delusionals.

Somebody hit this dude up with some green, I can't hit him up anymore.

Pretty much Khan, he is your advisor let him do his job.

See I dont buy it, if Khan had that belt you'd be saying alphabet straps dont mean **** to a Floyd fight, Guerrero didnt have a belt but he was was interem, or some crap and Floyd's mandatory. Well guess what Khans Floyd's mandatory now but that means nothing suddenly.

Garcia beat Khan so he must be ahead but Khan beat Maidana and yet Maidana fought Floyd twice! The reason was Khan had never fought at 147 wasnt it ? just like Garcia ?

The fact is there's no stand out challenger and hasnt been apart from Pac for years but if you apply the same standards people do to Khan to all Floyds opponents then he wouldnt fight anyone.

Thats just cherry picking the negatives you could do that to any fighter. Brook v Carson ?? Garcia - Herrera ?

You forgot to mention this particular former champion was no where close to being the best in his weight

[Scipio2009]

Yes, there's definitely double-standards. If Khan was fighting the kinds of low-level fighters that Brook fights, or being rewarded very close decisions like Brook and Garcia, or being named as a Mayweather opponent without even moving up to welter first (like Garcia), then Khan would get completely roasted for it. His haters deliberately set the line much higher than they would for any other fighters, beyond all reason. If convincingly defeating 9 world champions, including 4 in his last 4 fights, isn't "deserving" enough, then the word "deserving" itself completely loses all meaning.

Only different is that Brook has basically looked spectacular in every fight.

If Brook had struggled with a lower-level guy, struggled with another lower-level guy, clinched his way past a journeyman, looked good in a fight, and then went life/death with a guy coming off of a blowout loss, putting his name into any conversation for a massive fight would look utterly ridiculous.

Since Danny Garcia wiped him out in four rounds, Amir Khan has done almost nothing to make himself worthy of a big fight, outside of harp about how big a name he is.

Please find the article that said "Khan proved he deserved a fight with Mayweather with his performance against Algeri." Find the one that said "Khan dominated the fight against Maidana." How about "Khan's defeat over Diaz proves he's an elite WW fighter." I'll wait.
