Comments Thread For: Khan: My Gut Says Mayweather Will Avoid Me, Fight Berto

[rasdun]

People just want to see Mayweather get beat. That's the be all and end all of it. Only then will they be happy with his choice of opponent.

not really. I think real fans just want to see tough challenges befitting of someone that claims to be TBE. Like how SRL fought Hagler after not fighting for 3 yrs. Instead, Mayweather returns from his retirement and fights someone 2 weight classes below, not 2 above.
Also, Mayweather has been great at picking his oppoenents at the right time in their career - for instance, instead of fighting Mosely in '06 and Pac in '09, he fought them in '10 and '15, when it was clear to Floyd that they weren't the same fighters anymore.
Floyd is brilliant at managing his career for optimal earnings, but no tru boxing head really believes that he wants a tough challenge. he's a great fighter and an even greater manager of himself

Its a farewell fight;Its supposed to be easy. If its on CBS, I don't see how anyone can complain.

did u invent that rule? "farewell fight" are supposed to be easy. That's a new one I haven't heard in my 30+ yrs of being a boxing fan. lol

Vote for Lara seriously



Why fight 1 of these bums when Lara is out there? Way better fight! Lara has a way better skill set than either of the 2.

Berto is just a straight up joke! You can tell khan has been strengthening his chin a bit, probably chewing Bubble Yum, when it can take Bubblicious without him passing out then maybe just to shut him up. Just saying!

Floyd won't fight Lara for the same reason GGG won't fight Lara, because Lara can beat him! Lara is a BAAADDD MAAAANNN!!!

Was it not Mosely who said he couldn't fight Floyd because he was going on vacation, and he also had dental problems? And if Floyd fought Mosely too late, why does Manny get props for beating an even older version? And why didn't Floyd fight Pac in '09? Didn't Freddie Roach already admit that it was Team Pacquiao's fault for not accepting blood testing? Didn't Arum duck Floyd before he went to jail because Manny had a bad cut, and he needed a stadium built? And if SRL waited 3 yrs before fighting Hagler, didn't SRL "wait until he thought the time was right" to fight Hagler?

Khan's not being avoided by Floyd, he's being ignored. There's a big difference.

[Mpower]

Yes yes i see it too, Floyd is going to duck the beast in khan, oh the speed, the speed with all that sting in every shot in his lightning fast 15 hit combos, all the precision, accuracy and composure, oh if i was floyd, manny, I'd be so scared too.

I hope you're not expecting a decent reply from that twat rasdun!

The plonker forgets manny fought floyd left overs. Hatton, De La Hoya, Mosley. Forgets Mosley turned floyd down years ago due to a vacation, its on youtube in case anyone missed it.

They're blinkered idiots good sir, do not try to makes sense of their biased thought process, its a condition.

[StiffBlab]

Only Brits and Pakistanis have an excuse to be ****** enough to think Khan would be a good fight. Khan is a solid B fighter. He'd get destroyed by Floyd.

Berto would be a more entertaining fight. Khan needs to give Algieri or Garcia a rematch and stfu about Floyd. He's not even close to Floyd's level.
