floyd pretty blatantly avoided him

i dunno who else though

[miniq]

He feels Bradley avoided him 2011...He should have been fighting Bradley to unify the division not Judah.

He feels Floyd avoided him

He feels Pacquiao avoided him (more an issue with Arum really)

He feels Marquez avoided him


But guess what? This is boxing. Nobody owes anyone anything in this sport.

Floyd can fight Andre Berto or slugger Maidana for just as much money...then he will. Why face someone who is known to have a pitter patter style that has caused slick boxers problem.

Khan hasn't really looked good ever since he went off the wall in 2011 with his bloated ego and resting on his laurels.

Your mental game has to be on point in boxing...Khan may have all the confidence in the world but that doesn't equate to intelligence in and outside of the ring and this is the primary reason his career suffered.

also like to say that Khan is not avoiding Brook, he just wants it to brew a little longer and take the fight next year or one after.

For a guy who's stock has risen and fallen on and off for 6 years, he sure seems to think he's super feared.

More like after those L's he took and the lackluster performances he had against guys like Peterson and Diaz he no longer became worth the risk. I believe he would have got the Mayweather fight, they were setting it up for him by ranking him in the WBC before he even had a fight at 147 but Maidana simply had more momentum at the time. His tenure at 147 has been underwhelming as well considering there were better guys he could have fought who were willing to fight him.

I wouldn't say avoided. More like passed over or ignored.

[pacmanis1]

Yeah but Khan avoided all the decent fighters in recent years so he never really earned the opportunity to be avoided.

[deathofaclown]

And you're avoiding Brook, so it all evens itself out.

Khan also would was happy being inactive in the hopes of landing a fight with Floyd. He was staying out for a year just incase he messed up a potential Mayweather payday. I'm glad he never got it.

Yeah maybe Berto isn't that good and shouldn't have been in with Floyd but at least he was actually getting in the ring, not just waiting round acting like everyone owes him something. I know i'd rather give a payday to someone like Berto rather than a guy who thinks he's entitled to one.

Khan hasn't even had a real great win for about 6 years, since Maidana in 2010. He's fought fringe contenders at WW. He's in no position to feel anybody owes him anything.
