Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: I'm Ready For Everyone, I'm Not Ducking Anyone

He rants, I'm not ducking anyone. Translation is he is desperate for a payday.

Is Valuev in the photo under your post?

Yes, that's Nikolai

Not ducking anyone but Khan still hasn’t fought Brook. Blah blah. Brook was champion in mid 2014, since then, Khan chose to fight Alexander and Algieri. Lol. Could of made more money fighting Brook and a belt was on the line.

You know.... I will bite. I will defend this guy.

I will spot anyone Kell Brook, which it is obvious Khan has happily avoided. But otherwise he has a decent resume as a boxer and has taken some huge chances. He is a not overrated, as few people take him seriously anymore. I think he is underrated. He fights, throws leather, and has owned his defeats. He has been inactive of late, but he has had some BRUTAL KO loses and it is to his benefit to fight sparingly. As for his last two, I accept he needs to get in the ring and actually get back into the best shape a guy who has been through what he has can be. At this stage of his career, a showdown with Pacquiao/Matthyse winner will be interesting, and he and Brook will probably fight sometime next year at a catch weight as they both could use the payday and it is still 2 name boxers. Hell, he has been mentioned as a sacrifice for Crawford, and that would be quite the name on his resume.

He is by no means a great boxer, and has not built a Hall of Fame resume or anything. I am not talking crazy here. But check out the actual list of opponents. He has had a fair career and has provided some highlight film endings, just some for his opponents.

???

Coming of a brutal knockout loss to a roider who was 20lbs heavier and coming of multiple hand surgeries with complications and Virgil Hunter is now semi-retired due to illness. I think thats enough for him to warrant two tuneups. Is Vargas really that much worse than Ocampo?

So Spence Jr chose Ocampo? Hmmmm.........Not even close to a decent analogy.

Huh?? What??

Show me a ww except Brook who has taken on a bigger challenge than him. You can cry about it being for money but not many of the ww he is supposedly ducking has the balls to attempt that.

Most other welterweights would not jump two weight classes because they would simply man up and fight another contender or world champion from their own division. Example: Spence Jr has been calling out Thurman and he and TBC have talked of fighting. Other welterweights such as Porter has been calling out Danny Garcia and they are scheduled to soon fight. We can't reward a guy for purposefully jumping out of a window and then when he is hurt have sympathy for him.

We all know everyone of significance ducked Khan at 147 a few years ago (Mayweather, Bradley, Marquez, Pacquiao and Broner) so he had to move up to Middleweight to actually find a challenge fighting a PED light heavyweight Canelo. To think Khan would duck anyone is a state of mind that needs to be recognized as an official mental illness, and treated as such. Someone get Pfizer up in here for research purposes

con and his fans will be reliving that dana fight well into cons twilight years. the way buster douglas, maragarito, fury, horn, timmy, et al, will retell their singular moment of fame.

I think his refusal to fight Brook is more out of jealousy than fear. He doesn't want to give Brook prominence if he wins. As for ducking, no...he's never ducked and taken great risks. His fights are never duds either, let's not forget that.

going to his next fight..will see whats left
