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

[king4oranges]

Khan gets hated on purely because of his race. If you think brooks resume is better and think his last 4 opponents are better than khan , then all you should gtfo here. u guys are pure haters. if ortiz and gurrero got it so can he.

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.

Find the articles thats says beating Frankie Gavin proves you deserve Floyd or robbing Peterson or going life and death with Herrera or running from Leonard frigging Bundu or ?

Algieri is better than all those guys and Khan beat him comfortably even it it wasnt his best performance.

Apply the same standards you do to Khan to every other fighter and find me one that proved they deserve a Floyd fight ???

Ill wait.

You keep bringing up Herrera, but Garcia KO'd Khan in head to head matchup! Thurman beat Guererro, and KO'd the guy (Diaz) who dropped Khan! Khan barely beats Algeri. Other than to Floyd, Guerrero had not lost since 2005. Khan should've chosen any WW in the top 5 to get his shot, but he chose Algeri! Don't be mad at me, be mad at Khan! I'm still waiting for those "positive" articles that I missed.

Khan beat Maidana head to head yet he got FLoyd, Khan shutout ALexander who shut out Maidana who gave Floyd hell. Guererro is no better that Algieri if Khna had beaten him youd be saying hes a bum like with Alexander. Double standards the whole way.

In boxing, the man with the fastest hands, quickest feet and sharpest mind is more often than not the winner on any given night. Speed kills. And, against highly regarded Devon Alexander, British sensation Amir Khan (30-3, 19 KO) once again proved he might just be the fastest draw in the sport, winning a unanimous decision (119-109, 118-110, 120-108) in front of a partisan crowd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas Saturday night.

Khan, using his height (5'9"), boxing acumen and pure physical gifts, dominated a fight many expected to be close, beating Alexander to the punch and re-staking his claim to the greatest prize in all of boxing***8212;a potential bout with Floyd Mayweather Jr.

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.

1.No I wouldn't if Khan had the IBF strap I would have been all for him fighting Floyd over Maidana but he didn't shame on him.

2 If I remember correctly Floyd wanted to fight Devon Alexander instead of Guerrero but couldn't because I think one of the Bodies said they would strip someone (I think it was Floyd).

3. It was a different Maidana Floyd fought just like it was a different Algieri Khan fought. Khan sure as hell doesn't want to fight Maidana now. Plus Maidana Had the WBA strap lets just stop.

4. Is Garcia more deserving than Khan? Yes. Do I think Floyd should fight Garcia?... No

5. Personally I want Floyd to fight Lara or GGG at 160 but hell will freeze over before those fights happen.

in my last post i defended khan in terms of his race/skin colour etc but, i cant fackin stand the greedy little ****.
you cannot tell me that the spew hes been coming out with over the last few years is worth listening to OR his last four opponents as rungs on the ladder to have earned a crack at fmj (with big bux)..your fackin dreamin mate...just like the bum.
also, kell brook IS unbeaten has been very impressive in his last four AND obviously does not get ktfo by people who are either bums or facing bums...oh, and kell has a world title..just like the one the bum said he would fight kell for if kell were to win one.

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

That is his whole point of showing up in Khan threads.

[mrjoeblive]

A liitle off topic from the thread, but when it comes to GGG wantn to fight Cotto, you stans hide Cotto behind Ward like hes gonna protect him...why? For the record, theres alot of fighters not ready for ward..Andre Ward isnt just another fighter

You ggg stans always swear every one is ducking ggg. He called out ward only to beg forgiveness. And I agree ward would give most fighters trouble. But I get sick of the floyd fight ggg who tips the scale at 174lbs thats too much for a guy who tips at 151 on his heaviest. Thats not a fair fight. If floyd fought ggg the fight should be 154 on fight night.

[mrjoeblive]

If Floyd were to choose the most feared fighter in the sport today, and beat him @ 154, there would be no more talk of his fear to lose his "O." The Pacquiao fight did not silence his critics, but if he chose to fight the guy that Manny, Miguel, and Canelo have chosen to avoid, for whatever reason, he would instantly silence his critics, and if he were to win, then he's much closer to making "TBE" a reality. If he chooses Khan, and he wins, everyone would say "So ****ing what!"

He is the most feared according to whom????? and no matter if floyd fights and beats ggg there would be multiple excuses like, ggg was too green, or floyd should have fought him at 160. There will always be a reason to critique floyd no matter who he fights and he will never silence his critics.

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.

Any top 10 welter would look spectacular against the likes of Jo Jo Dan and Frankie Gavin. Any top 10 welter would destroy those bums. But if Khan fought against low-level fighters like that, we wouldn't hear the end about his "cherry-picking", even though that's exactly what Brook's been doing his entire career. Haters were even making a big deal over Algieri, even though he's a former world champ on a much higher level than Brook's last 2 opponents. Just imagine how much hate Khan would get if he fought Jo Jo Dan or Frankie Gavin? Khan haters are hypocrites, judging Khan by a completely different standard than other fighters. They're either being completely irrational, or just closest racists.

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.

Danny Garcia is a world champion, nothing like the C-level fighters that Brook has faced his whole career. Brook wouldn't even dare step into the ring with Garcia. Either way, if you think Khan isn't "worthy" of a Mayweather fight because of the Garcia loss 3 years ago, then according to your irrational logic, Maidana isn't "worthy" of a Mayweather fight either because of his losses to Khan and Alexander, and yet it was Maidana who gave Mayweather one of the toughest fights of his career. But as usual, all logic breaks down and the usual double-standards come into play whenever Khan's name is mentioned.
