    You probably don't care about my feelings, in which case.

    Listened to it. A lot of it can be dissected and explained easily but will fall on deaf ears and if that's your feelings as you say then you must be deaf too.

    Quick examples, YouTube guy says:

    'Never avenged his loss to Garcia' - He tried to, Garcia turned down the rematch.
    'Never avenged loss to Peterson' - Tried to, got busted for PEDS or whatever.
    'Lost to Peterson, Khan fans will make excuses' - So having PEDS in your system, home town advantage, someone messing with the scorecards, excessive points deductions seems 100% normal, OKAY.
    'Never avenged Prescott' - He's right there for once.

    Khan is far from perfect but be 100% real with what you say. /Ethered

      He said he wanted a rematch , was it actually offered? Garcia just knocked him spark out - there was no reason for the rematch to happen. And by Khan's fights since then, it's quite clear that even if Garcia wanted to fight, Khan would have never accepted it. Or his team.

      Regardless, Khan shouldn't get fantasy points for something he didn't do. Regarding Peterson - yes the whole affair was dodgy and I felt Khan won the first fight anyway.

      But there are other things like Khan looking terrible against Diaz and then soon after talking about mayweather after having beaten a couple of average guys like Alexander and Collazo. And the worst of the worst trying to say Mayweather and Pacquiao should stop their fight so he can fight one of them. Absolutely pathetic.

      But none of that compares to his shamless ducking of Kell Broo who he's absolutely terrified of.

        Is he ducking Kelly Brook - YES HE IS so let's get that out the way.

        Khan seriously either needs a PR team or someone who isn't a yes man in his camp and tells him when to stfu. Guy's an idiot, mentions Floyd before every fight for the last few years not knowing the outcomes of those fights and whether he'll look good or bad in them and all that added up overtime is what's made him a laughing stock now which is his own doing.

        Fighters haven't had to beat silverback gorillas in the ring to face Mayweather so throw that chit out the window. There are endless instances where someone has beaten an over hyped or average guy and got a shot at Floyd, but when it comes to Khan he must face the best of the best or the hardest puncher in the divison and so on, the expectations for him are much higher for some strange reason.

        Thurman has mentioned Mayweather since his first HBO fight and continues to do so in interviews and after fights, let that sink in for a bit. Oh and he just looked like dog chit vs a guy Khan whooped and knocked down 3 times.

          Always liked Khan tbh,but lately he's become a joke..I was willing to let him go on his rebuild and just take it for what it was..Yet he missed the boat countless times..After he was beat by Peterson(and I scored that fight a draw)and the rematch was canceled..He had a chance at Mayweather by beating Garcia..Not only does he lose but he's stopped on 3rds..From then on he's just missed the boat time after time..He should have fought Alexander when Alexander was still a Champion..Miss that chance..

          IMO he should have fought a Berto or Brook instead of Chris,to give himself a better position to get Mayweather..I don't know when or why it happened,but he thinks he's entitled to something when that's not the case..I don't know why he lost his way but I hope he finds his way back..One of the great things about Khan was his willingness to test himself..That's been lost for sometime now..

            You seem kind of obsessed with Khan. It's not healthy!

              The thing is everyone who's faced Mayweather has done so because of what they were doing at that current moment..Ortiz beat Berto,a highly ranked WW to get his shot(and believe me I was against this fight)not the greatest yet it's at least something note worthy..

              Guerrero beat Aydin and Berto,Again ranked opponents at the weight and at least note worthy..Maidana won his first belt and beat a star in the sport in Broner..Ya see what I'm getting at,a note worthy opponent..When was the last time Khan a note worthy opponent,I'd have to go to Judah my dude..

              Alexander nobody cared at the time when Khan fought him,Chris was a joke of a fight(I felt the same way when Pac fought him as well)and meant nothing..Porter,Broner,Thurman,Guerrero would have all been acceptable fights and fights that could have easily been made if team Khan pushed for it..Not to mention Brook which in all honesty I have no clue why that fight has not happened already..

                  I don't like Khan either and I've shared my dislike of him with other people. But after a while, watching his style it seems to me like it's mainly people who are afraid that if he DOES land the Floyd fight, the Khan has the greatest chance of dethroning Floyd. Nobody has successfully outboxed Khan. And anyone who has attempted to do so has gotten their face torn apart from the speed and sometimes even TKO'd. He has a glass chin and I think almost anyone who can punch and has any counter-punching ability has a chance of beating him. Hell, even Floyd has the ability to KO Khan (imo), but let's not fool ourselves. Khan is the same guy that won silver at the Athens Olympics at 17 years old and his only loss was to Mario Kindelan who was considered to be among the best amateur fighters that has ever come from Cuba. Then he rematched Kindelan and defeated him. I think a lot of the hatred doesn't just stem from him practically begging for the fight but also because there is underlying fear in the boxing community that it would be him, to dethrone Floyd.

                    I would love for Khan to beat Floyd, so not at all actually.

                    Doesn't change the fact that he's an absolute idiot.
