Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Mayweather Not TBE, Could Be in Top Five

[thack]

And this coming from some one who's not even the best in the north west of England , what a clown Khan is.
Go and hang around for Manny for another few years before some c level fighter has you dancing again, what a buffoon.

Is that the same Khan who this forum laugh at daily for talking nonsense?

Or those people ok with his comments this time only?

[MC Hammer]

all that retirement talk is for a network to offer him the most money. hes a free agent now. .breaking marciano record is definitely in his mind, hes a competitor, he will sit alone at 50-0..then after that he'll call it a day.

Why would he go into a bidding war? HBO has tried its best to diminish his career since he left them, and his fighters are being broadcast on CBS/SHO and PBC it would be a better long-term strategy to make sure the relationship stays healthy. I think the guy is done, and his been ready to leave since the Canelo fight.

Bitter? No!!!! ... not bitter at all

America hates Khan and what Khan represents

Yea Danny Garcia was afraid of Kubla Khans speed also.. Speed kills slow down. Khan is being ignored in boxing for a reason and it is what Khan represents and who Khan represents and why Khan is representing that hatred. FACT.
It's collusion against a hated Khan but it makes perfect sense. Boxing chooses God over that alla babba dabba doo character who thrives on hatred and chaos and death.

Everyone wanted Floyd to fight Canelo and no one thought he would take that fight. A lot of people were shocked that he took such a dangerous fight and a lot of people were calling for an upset. It was only after the fight that people started the excuse that, "Oh Canelo's too inexperienced. He's too green. Not a good win for Floyd." Which was utter BS that people did such a 180.

So in light of that, I would consider the Canelo fight a risk.

This is where Floyd fans aren't quite understanding the term risk. Fighting Canelo at a CW isn't a risk, its to preserve a zero and give yourself the best chance to win. Canelo wasn't such a monster that SSM could fightt Canelo, so no bravery award is going to go to Floyd for fighting Canelo at a weight Floyd had a title.

Took such a dangerous fight? It was the correct fight for Floyd at that time, but dangerous isn't the word. Canelo was someone who hadn't really fought anyone, he struggled with Trout his best win at the time. Canelo was no monster. Floyd fighting canelo at a CW doesn't equal what SRL did against Hagler or Duran did to Barkley even.

ONly then can we talk about PBF being ATG along the SRL and Ali and SRRs of this world.

Well according to the poster above, Floyd is an ATG because of who he beat. What would you say to that poster?

Also, why did you go back and delete the post?

Khan said he won't be remembered as a great fighter not too long ago.

Give Credit Where Credit Is Due....

I rank Mayweather 3rd on my All-Time List. He defeated more World Champions than any other boxer, He defeated 6x Hall of Famers (Cotto, Dela Hoya, Marquez, Pacman, Gatti, Mosley), and he defeated 3x Undefeated Boxers (Canelo, Hatton, Corrales).

People forget Marquez was #3 P4P at the time....Mosley was #2 P4P....Canelo was considered a risk....Hatton was undefeated (some indicated Mayweather left the 140 to avoid Hatton)

And don't give me they weren't in thier prime BS: Pacman fought Mosely and Hatton after they fought Mayweather and everyone gave him credit. Marquez KOed Pacman after the Mayweather fight. Cotto was the Jr MW Champion. Dela Hoya was his first fight at 154.
