Why Do People Still Think Mayweather Ducked Khan?

[BLASTER1]

I dont think mayweather ducked Khan.
Who knows what happened in negotiations behind the scenes.
I think Mayweather would of won a ud of him anyway.
Khan quick but Mayweather was quicker with foot speed plus his ring iq totally out did Khans.
I could see Floyd laying trap after trap and using his jab to the body to out point and embarrass Khan

[Mr Objecitivity]

Maybe because Khan was the mandatory to one or more of Mayweather's world title belts? And if you avoid a fight against a mandatory, it's considered ducking.

[Deont]

What did Khan ever do to earn a Mayweather fight?

[Outwest Exp 355]

Because it was a big money fight and Mayweather had no reason to avoid him. Why choose Berto over him? why Guerrero? why Ortiz? but not Khan?

If Khan was so easy, why didn't Floyd fight him? big money for easy work? no I don't think so.

Name one fighter that ever got rich fighting Khan?

[Mike Haynes]

I believe so....5'10"....speed....power....in his prime...willing to try and win on points......popular enough to actually be given a fair judging....beat Maidana.

[TheBigLug]

It's funny that people even think Khan would have bothered Floyd.

The likes of Peterson and Garcia found ways to deal with Khan's speed, even guys like Julio Diaz and Algieri weren't too bothered by Khan and his speed, but a master boxer like Floyd would have?

It' laughable. Floyd would've schooled him in an uncompetitive fight. Completely different levels.

[FrankieBruno]

because he did

Khan would have been one of the worst style match-ups for Floyd.

Floyd would have found a win to win, but it would not have been pretty.

At that stage in Floyds career he didn't need someone like Khan.

However it is a shame because i would have liked to see that fight, especially over the likes of Ortiz and Guerrero

[alexguiness]

Khan's fans are a very loyal bunch and very devoted to him. They refuse to believe he has a glass jaw and isn't very good. He never did anything at welterweight to make a good welterweight be afraid to fight him. He just barely beat Diaz in England and had to get of the floor to do it Thurman took Diaz out in 3 rounds. He just barely beat Algieri who Pacquiao knocked down 6 times and beat him by 120 to 105. Spence quickly KOed Algieri. He never got a fight with Mayweather or Pacquiao because he never earned or deserved a fight with them.Even now he is fighting a cherry pick ranked 100th by boxrec and expects a win over him to get him a fight with Pacquiao.

This exactly.

Khan's 'army' of Bolton taxi drivers and take away delivery drivers created the 'Floyd ducked King Khan' narrative. In reality, Maidana had that win over Broner and brought a belt to the table. Khan had achieved nothing at 147, and never will.

[Chrismart]

Probably because of that whole poll thing maybe.
I think Mayweather would of won easily enough, I was kind of surprised they didn't fight though around that time.

[IronDanHamza]

Because it was a big money fight and Mayweather had no reason to avoid him. Why choose Berto over him? why Guerrero? why Ortiz? but not Khan?

If Khan was so easy, why didn't Floyd fight him? big money for easy work? no I don't think so.

Nonsense.

Khan wasn't even considered an opponent in 2011.

In 2013 he had lost 2 of his last 3 fights at 140 and wasn't considered an opponent then either.

The only time Khan was realisrcially on the table was the Maidana fight and Maidana was the way more logical fight to make at that time.
