Comments Thread For: Arum: Amir Khan Talks Too Much, Who's Stalling Who?

[TLC8]

Been Saying This For A Long Time! Khan Has A Lot To Say About Everyone!

Khan gives everyone his expert take, his expert advice, who's on his level and who's not. Yet he won't grow a sack and fight anyone! He talked about Floyd, then Brook, then Thurman, then Bradley, then Manny, then Swift, and he won't fight anyone. It's all his own "image control", trying to act the part of the elite, but hasn't done **** since getting KOd by Swift, like 5 years ago. He's trying to land the big payday at 147 without fighting anyone dangerous. He beat Algieri who hits like Paulie Mags, but he fought scared, and was hit all night with straight right hands. I've said all along this guy is a weasel, and I thought his latest quotes sounded fishy and uncharacteristic when he accused Manny of stalling, then rattled off his other options... "I'll fight anyone, I have Tim Bradley in mind, Kell Brook, and a rematch with Garcia I'd like in Dec".... Say what? Brook has been calling out Khan all year. Crickets. Thurman called out Khan. Crickets. Bradley offered Khan a title shot, he said "no he was in line for Manny", so Bradley opt for Rios. Khan waits to hear Porter & Thurman are said to be fighting, Brook & Chaves were committed, Bradley has Rios, ONLY THEN did Khan peek his head out of the weeds and declare, "I want Swift in Dec"... LOL! Phukkin weasel.

Well given Khan's history and the media, and allegations from other promoters, I'd say Arum is correct. Besides Manny can't fight yet. . . He's injured remember. lol

Can't blame Khan for wanting the fight. It's a known fact that Manny and Floyd brings the money plus they are both great fighters so you can't knock a man for wanting to fight the best and get paid at the same time. The problem with Khan is this deluded self worth that he places on himself, one that creates this illusion of being a rival rather than just a mere opponent.

For the record, Khan is and will be just an opponent for these two fighters. He needs to realize as an opponent, he will not be the only opponent being talked to about a possible fight. He just needs to learn to cure his diarrhea of the mouth, wait his turn, continue to take care of his business and let the process play itself out. There is absolutely nothing to duck in Khan at this point in his career. Personally, I think he's an easy fight for either fighter. Floyd probably toys with him for 12 rounds and I think Manny might just knock him out. Sure he has speed and he flurries but quickness as an attribute is greater than speed any time they both get put on display.

To all you novice, let me educate you. Quickness is of the mind while speed is purely physical. Quickness allows you to anticipate and deliver with the appropriate response at the appropriate time. Floyd has both which is why he is almost unbeatable. What if I tell you that Danny Garcia got quicker than Khan in their fight, only it took him a few rounds (Floyd like) to figure it out before he started landing those hooks that ultimately took Khan out.

Listen, I admire the guy for wanting the big fights, but he needs to come off this pedestal that he puts himself on. Boxing is about what you 've done lately and quite frankly, Khan hasn't done much beyond a win over Alexander. His team needs to tell him to go out there and make the fights that matter, Brook, Thurman, Bradley etc.. and this big fight will happen.

Arum send over the contract instead of running to the media and telling everyone how Pac will be fighting Khan.

This fight was never going to get made, Arum hates Al...even though Al is not part of the negotiations, he is still part of Khans team...

Old fart will continue to deprive us of fights

[pugil1st]

Listen you lunatic Khan is many things including a liar but nearly all your comments are wrong .Your ridiculous statements have no place here !

Everybody should report that comment. Maybe he'll get thrown off.

I think you would find that Khan's unrealistic price for himself has put the boot in .Like he said 75% done then 2 days later no deal ?
Khan keeps poping up with a elevated opinion of his worth and it goes nowhere.

Arum said the fight would be in and around February, so thats 4 months..not sure where you are getting the 6 months figure from...Arum is on record as saying Feb is the date....the story was posted on here

So yes send over the contract Feb is around the corner...they would more than likely begin training in December.
