Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Only Plans 3 To 4 More Fights - Kell Brook Ruled Out

[Geon]

whats up with these UK fighters??

Hatton did this against Witter

Calzaghe did it against Froch

Froch did it against DeGale

They're scared of losing. The UK is a small nation, they cant accept losing to another person is this small area. Khan has been Britains premier 135-147 guy since he won silver at the olympics now he fears losinf his status as that premier fighter. Same for hatton, calzaghe snd froch

I don't blame Hunter, I liked his outburst. Khan took the fight because it was career money. Forget his bs about Brook being worth more, this was most money Khan would ever make in a single fight for his career. Those were his reasons for the fight.

Canelo on the other took this fight b/c he's a bully who's scared to fight guys his own size. He literally almost killed Khan with a single shot, b/c he was so much bigger. He was too big for Cotto to do anything against. Hunter basically called him out on being a bully, and I'm glad for that.

That's a good point. This may seem a little paradoxical considering he has a decent KO percentage but I've never been completely sold on his punching power. When the Lopez fight was signed I felt it was a concerted effort to make him look like an exciting knockout artist. Same with this fight.

I personally believe the kid will fight anyone but the weight disparity doesn't look good. Sadly it's become a standard part of fight negotiations. I think its got more to do with managers and promoters looking to gain an advantage for their 'product' and to sell them as something they're not.

Really? Are you insinuating Canelo was bullying the lineal MW champ in Cotto? With his size?

The champ?

Lineal champ?

Not even at 160?

Someone's a Cotto fan. :P


And Virgil was fine with GGG going up 8 pounds for his fighter Ward just like Khan did for Canelo...get over it...he had a nervous breakdown on live TV and it was both hilarious and undignified. Khan was a bad matchup, there's no denying it...But outside of that his recent opposition has been great and fights the fans wanted.

Canelo was clearly too big for Cotto. I bring it up b/c he moved on to fighting an even smaller man. Canelo is one of those guys like Brandon Rios at 135, they're young enough to cut massive weight and then fully put it back on with little ill effect.

Whether you believe Khan is ducking an unproven fighter way less intimidating than Canelo or not, he doesn't owe Brook or anyone else for that matter anything.

Cotto shouldn't haved moved up to MW. This is part of the game. Look at Crawford... Everybody cuts weight. Look how big Khan looked he wasn't much smaller and dude is at 47.

I don't like the big rehydrations but Canelo isn't to blame. Boxing is. He's comfortably making the weight and Virgil talks about Amir having trouble making 147. Khan and Virgil were idiots. Virgil abd khan spent months telling us how he has trouble making 47 which logically makes him a 54 pounder if he cant make 47 right? He fought at 154+1..not 160. Dont hate the player hate the game. Cotto fought a cripple and demanded a CW. Dont feel sorry for him

Brook got a belt, Khan should go take it to let the other top WW know that he is still the man to beat.

Garcia himself has said that there's no way he's going to the UK.

That's a blatant lie and you know it.
