      Khan has always been a gutsy fighter who wanted to fight the best opponents available. The best opponent available is obviously Floyd, so that was the one Khan wanted above all others.

      And I don't think he wanted Floyd for the money, but for the glory and legacy, because he truly believes he can beat Floyd.

      The last 2/3 years of Khan's career have been, basically, him waiting for Floyd, and doing whatever Haymon advised him to do to maximise his chances of getting the fight..

      Problem is though, that Floyd is his own man and does what he wants to do, not what Haymon would prefer him to do. Khan has realised that at last and what he now needs to do is forget about Floyd and make for the time he wasted waiting around for him.

      It's time for Amir to show the guts, heart and fighting spirit he used to be known for. Fight Manny, if he can, and after that, win or lose, Kel Brook.
      Even if he loses both those fights Khan will be able to hold his head up high once more. After he finishes counting the money he will earn for them, of course.

      Exactly, he can take some punishment if he sees the punches coming (i.e. Maidana).

      This is the truth, he leave his chin in the air and gets caught clean.

        Similar to Brook's resume.

          Khan has been a cherry picker ever since his KO lost to Garcia 3 years ago and he has avoided all dangerous punchers. He has only had 5 fights. Light punching Alexander was rated near the top 10 welterweights but the other 4 guys were not even close to being rated welterweights. Why would Mayweather have fought him. He had done little to earn the fight. Khan claims to be the best pound for pound fighter in the world and yet he struggles to beat Diaz and Algieri. Two guys Mayweather would easily beat even wearing a blindfold. Pacquiao is a 2016 fight that Khan can talk about but not actually go through with. Khan is supposed to fight late this year. After all his talk about coward Mayweather not manning up and fighting him it's past time for Khan to man up himself. If Khan's next opponent isn't Thurman, Porter, or Garcia then he is just a loud mouthed, bragging, cherry picking phony. Haymond manages all of those fighters so Khan can fight one of them if he wants to.

            His problem is his low ring IQ.

            Whenever he gets hurt, he tries to pay his opponent back instantly.

            It's brave and good to watch, but he has to drop that habit for his own good. Hopefully, he has.

            Bad chin is an issue, but it's manageable.

              I know that sounded witty in your head, and I hate to break it to you, but it isn't.

                Sounds like you describing your attempt at an Amir Khan chin joke.

                  Joke? I was merely stating a fact. Try again.

                      I never said you weren't. The issue was the lack of wit.
