Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: There is a reason Mayweather/Pacquiao Avoided Khan

[spanishboxing]

Trying to justify this fight by saying Pac Floyd ducked khan..what a joke. .khan is a WW Canelo a MW. .that's all there's to know...to even mention a rematch is disrespectful..we all know khan will get KO TKO.

[GOT BEEF?]

Oh Oscar...you idiot.

Yeah Oscar, there is a reason why May and Pac avoided Khan. Cuz he sucks!

[Bronx2245]

Actually there were a few reasons. I can think of 3 right off the top of my head: 1) Danny Garcia, 2) Julio Diaz, 3) Chris Algieri.

Khan would have given both Pac and Money May fits. He has fast feet, speed, and is a overall good offensive fighter. Now would he have beaten either?

Money May no but I think it would be a 50/50 fight with Pac.

Amir Khan isn't a bum, he's a former Olympic medalist, and a former champion. He's a credible opponent who deserves respect.

He will give Canelo problems but I don't think he will win this fight.

Oscars not well ....why does Khan deserve a 'mega fight' is it because he swerved all the welterweights and fought a light welter instead ....

This is NOT a mega fight, this is a fight where a guy is looking to make a easy defense with a faded name who talks just as much bollocks as Oscar.

Canelo was dismantled by Mayweather struggled against Mosley,Cotto and Lara .Khan was knocked out at lightweight knocked out at light welter struggled against a guy Algieri who had NEVER fought at full welterweight avoided all the best welter fights and now this is a mega fight .......what f..ckin planet are you idiots on.

I can see Oscar's position only because he is a promoter and must promote this fight. But we all know this is a cherry pick. Canelo swerved the entire middleweight division, heck he even said screw junior middle, and picked a chinny fighter whose best work is at 140 and has never fought above 147.

You have to fight your into a mega fight, it's not just given to you.

Amir is a good fighter and has a lot of heart but though I don't deal in triangle theories. the guy struggled with algierie and technically the fight could have went any way. he would give both Floyd n pac a few problems but that's about it. he loses both fights.

Oscar using pac and floyds name to hype khan.
