Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Floyd Mayweather Did Not Want To Face My Style

[VG_Addict]

Nevah!

Mayweather robbed us of the opportunity to see him make a fool of Khan and now Khan won't shut up about it. He had the chance to shut him up and he didn't and now we all suffer. It is unforgivable.

I would have loved to see Floyd put Khan in his place.

[Reverb]

Reading comprehension is your friend.

I don't believe there is a universe that exists in which Khan beats Mayweather. I was merely speculating on Mayweather's motives for ducking Khan and how it could be perceived. For example, you seem to agree with what I said first, that Mayweather is petty and childish in that he'd rather spite Khan and disrespect his own fans than as you say give Khan a pay day. That's the best case scenario here.

Again, not a good look for a grown man.

You must be joking. You can't honestly believe Flous is scared of chicken dance Khan. Khan repeatedly dug his own grave by talking too much and speaking on negotiations. I personally feel Floyd doesn't like Khan at all and would rather not give him the payday. If you truly feel he was scared, of Khan of all people, I'm afraid you just DKSAB.

If the hype and emotion is laid aside, it doesn't take a fan of Khan to see that he was avoided on the basis of being risky. Styles make fights and while FMJ likely had the handling of him, it was all about risk management, Floyd and his team had to have the X,Y &Z on opponents down to a T.
Anyone who believes Berto drew bigger numbers than a Khan fight would have are dreaming and tripping when they wake up. No-one ever talked their way out of a fight by talking up a fight. Believing the Ellerbe blurb is to suck on the mainstream vacuous teat. If the fight was clearly winnable, they'd have snapped that **** up. Facts before hype. And you ain't got to believe Khan was gonna win it, you only need to think in terms of risk... and Berto had shopworn plus speed discount written all over him.
Floyd multiplied his incredible skill and dedication with second to none risk management and assessment. That was the winning combination, clear as day.

thats because khan brought nothing to the 147 table. Berto was chosen because he was beating khan down in sparring.

Who told u that???

What proof do u have??

[DblLFThooK]

Lets keep talking about the past. Great idea. Dude is retired. Khan needs to focus on canelo.

[Razcal26]

What style is that?

Let me guess..........."Huh Duh Speed Duh."

Like I said, been boxing for over 10 years, no other redeeming skill-set that he posses.

[FrankieBruno]

he's 100% right

there was no excuse to pick Berto

floyd is a punk

[Sledgeweather17]

that duck will be a permanent red mark on floyd's resume

he literally fought a shot andre berto from khan's own gym instead of khan himself, pathetic blatant duck

Still the fact that Berto has done more at welterweight than Khan should tell you the real reason May did what he did to Khan. I mean, you think it is a coincidence that Berto comes from the same gym as Khan?

[Nightfall]

thats because your style is amateurish and you bring nothing to the welter weight table

[Nightfall]

he's 100% right

there was no excuse to pick Berto

floyd is a punk

very good excuse. berto was beating khan easily in sparring. A. mares confirmed the khan could'nt handle berto's speed and power. is that good enough ?

[Sledgeweather17]

This is pretty much the only thing I agree with Khan on. Mayweather ducked him.

At best, Mayweather comes across petty and childish towards Khan but also disrespectful and dismissive towards his fans who chose Khan over Maidana.

At worst, Mayweather appears scared of Khan for reasons only known to him.

Either way it's not a great look for someone of his talent.

Maidana won 3 out of 4 polls that were up.

Maidana was the WBA champion and Floyd the WBC champion. Hence a unification being a solid selling point. Khan was a......yeah

Maidana was coming straight out of his best win in his career and a contender for fight of the year, and had beaten Floyd's previous undefeated multy division champ of a lil bro, Adrien Broner.

Maidana was hyped to be the ******nite to Floyd's style because of what he did to Broner.

Maidana was the obvious choice for all the reasons above. Yawl shouldn't be willing to sacrifice your intellect just to satiate your hate towards someone. Seriously, why you guys choose to look ****** just to satisfy your insignifant hate is beyond me.

Anyone with a brain knows Maidana was the best choice both competetively and from a marketing standpoint, at least in foresight.

The worst thing about the whole thing is that yawl would have been crying about Mayweather ducking Maidana if he'd chosen Khan. And if he'd chosen to fight Khan instead of rematching Maidana, yawl would have been crying that he ducked a rematch with Maidana. In fact, yawl would have loved it if he didn't rematch the guy so that you can continue to pretend that Maidana actually won the first fight and Floyd was too scared to 'lose again'.
