    He has slain so many murderous fighters it is beyond doubt that he is clearly being discriminated against because his skill is a rare and unique gift.

    Or he is a complete twonk.
    This leads back to the original point. Many fighters ducked Khan because of the risk they'd get beaten by him. Tim Bradley even admitted it in a live radio interview, and Nacho Beristain is on record admitting it too. With so many ducking him, including the very best fighters in the division by resume, Khan has very regularly been ducked by your "murderous fighters".

        Like I said, If it wasn't for all the tops guys 'ducking' Killer Khan then Amir would be the P4P GOAT....sure.

              Khan takes a lot of heat for his KO losses, but he has heart and balls man. He is a skilled boxer, but he's prone to mixing it up and that is a formula for disaster when you are chinny. He was boxing well against Garcia and Canelo when he got caught. Khan defeated Maidana...the guy Floyd chose 2x over Khan even after his fans chose Khan as his next opponent.

                If Floyd hadn't ducked Khan and he won that fight he would have been considered the best in the division by most people. There's a reason Floyd ducked him so many times, he knew Khan was a very difficult stylistic match up which is why he chose Maidana, someone Khan already beat.

                  I agree. Always thought Khan was a style matchup that would make for an interesting fight, but I don't know man. The Floyd boys just used any ol' garbage excuse for the non-fight. I enjoyed the Maidana-Broner rumble, that was the rematch imo. Floyd-Maidana, eh, that was a guy Floyd expoited for a check 2x.

                    LOL @ thinking Khan could beat Floyd.

                    The gulf in skill is too great.

                      the gulf in skill with Floyd and Ortiz, guerrero, Maidana, and Berto was even greater, but its more about the level of competitiveness, than it is about who would beat who...
