Comments Thread For: Manager: Khan Changed His Mind on Provodnikov Bout

Khan: I'll fight anyone!

Fights no one.

Well, who the fk does that remind you of ?

Amir Khan = GGG

Right off the top, he ducked Kovalev. HBO made him promise a Kova fight and he ran to BET rather than commit. Now he's finally been forced to commit but not before taking two more tune-ups. There's no guarantee he takes the fight.

He ducked fighting anyone outside of the U.S. in the Super Six. He ducked the Froch rematch in the U.K.

He ducked Triple G at 164.

But, I would definitely say Ward is more of a cherry-picker than a ducker, which is saying a lot.

His whole legacy is built off of beating 30+ year old Europeans who he had to fight in his home country.

Oh yeah, and he drained Dawson to come down to 168. Those are his big 3 wins.

Right off the top, he ducked Kovalev-Two different weight classes

He ducked fighting anyone outside of the U.S. in the Super Six-You can't duck anyone you already fought. Was he a prima dona, yes.

He ducked Triple G at 164-GGG team called Ward out first, then recanted their statement that they will fight Froch at 168, but not Ward.

Drained Dawson to come down to 168-That was Dawson challenging Ward, nobody forced him to fight that weight class.

...but we all have our own opinions.

Ducking a guy who offers absolutely nothing but power. No surprise.

Power is the one thing Khan wants no part of.

Not really gonna argue with you, Khan seems disinterested as best.

But Provodnikov ?

I have no idea why Provodnikov is rated so highly.

What am I missing here ?

I see Provodnikov as a basic mid-level 140lb tough-guy, who is not world-class and never will be.

He's fun to watch against the right opponent, thats about it.

Khan already beat a much better fighter in Maidana.

Why would a basic 140lb tough-guy even be an option for Khan ?

I can't take this " duck " too seriously, but I'm sure it will get some air-time.

[aboutfkntime]

Provodnikov has lost 3/5, not too long ago lost to the guy Khan just beat in his last fight and of course coming off a loss. Not to mention Khan does beat him ppl will bring up the LWW excuse. There was absolutely nothing to gain for Amir Khan from this fight.

Khan/Provodnikov sounds absurd.

Yep, and some are pretty ******.

cool story bro

[TLC8]

He is saying Khan never signed anything so howcome he backed out ?

Three questions:
Is he a welterweight ?
Is he in top 10 in any of 147 rankings ?
Is he Coming from a victory ?

Since every one and their moma is unhappy about Khan facing the 140 guys coming from defeat. Answer these please

You're a phukkin idiot. Provo signed an offer sheet to fight Khan, sent it Khan's way, and heard crickets. Khan does want to fight anyone who can hit. Provo is very credible opponent. Fight of the year at 147 vs Bradley, nearly had Bradley stopped, gave him the beatdown of his life. Probably fight of the year again with Matthysse this year, in s fight that could have gone either way. Got screwed out of a decision against Algieri where he had Algieri dropped twice in the first round, completely putting a baseball sizes closed left eye on Algieri. Khan wants no part of that, and for the same reason Khan also won't fight Thurman, Brook, Porter or Bradley. Don't talk to me about who is ranked, are they worthy. Phukk, Khan hasn't fought anyone at 147 that proposed a risk or hits hard. He fought Algieri scared all night long. Khan is a *****.

[deathofaclown]

The guy is crazy. He'll still be inactive and waiting for a fight with Pacquiao and Mayweather when they're long retired and chilling on the beach.

[Larry the boss]

Khan is a ****ING JOKE

[TLC8]

Thats the question genius
After Khan faced Algieri everyone had a problem with him facing that type of opposition at welterweight not before that.
So howcome the same crying and moaning haters want to see the same route but if they like the guy then its okay huh smh
Be consistent

Despite judges screwing Provo out of a decision against Algieri, Provodnikov is still a much greater risk to Khan! He hits with hammers and he just keeps coming! Ask Welterweight Champion Tim Bradley. Ask Lucas Matthysse who refuses to give Provo a rematch. Bradley cried for months about concussion type symptoms he had from his Provodnikov fight. When you sign to fight Provo, you will be in a war for 12 rounds and you're gonna get hit harder than you've ever been hit. Khan wants no part of that. There are softer routes for him to take.
