    That's the point. Khan wanted to create a legacy by fighting (and potentially beating) the 2 best p4p fighters in the world but he was avoided by them at every attempt and at all costs. When Khan's name was in the mix, both Pac and Floyd elected to fight easier fighters who Khan himself either already beat or would have beaten - Maidana (Khan beat as a pro), Ortiz (Khan beat as an amateur by 2nd Round KO), Guerrero, Berto, Bradley (who himself also publicly avoided Khan), Rios.

    Floyd and Pac chose those guys over Khan because they were fights which they had no doubt they could win - against Khan there was always a doubt due to his style so they avoided him.

    So Khan was attempting to achieve something great by beating the greats but they constantly avoided him. That's what ultimately led to him going up 2 divisions in search of a big fight to face Canelo. He was trying to achieve something great in his own division but the 2 greatest fighters ducked him.
    Khan would have been great by himself without those two if he really is great! He would have beaten garcia if he is indeed great. He would have beaten canelo! He would have beaten Prescott!!
    He would have KOed Vargas!
    He would have challenged Bud, spence, crawford and porter! Those are his batchmates for christ sake. Instead he’s still there asking for two 40 year old greats to fight him!
    Khan is not great not because he didn’t fight those two.
    He is not great because he isn’t!!!

    Okay let’s just say they truly avoided him, now what??!
    If he’s really great his career wouldn’t be as trash as it is now.
    He is nowhere respected anywhere. Why??? Because he runs his mouth all the time!!!! Without backing them up for 6 years now!!!
    If he is great he would have made the top 5 pound for pound rankings a long time ago. But guess what he never sniffed near that!

    38 yr old Pac also tried to fight him last year but the money was just not there!

    KHAN has not been a champ for 6 years now! Maidana, guerrero, ortiz were when Floyd fought them!

    Khan was supposed to get the Floyd fight after his Algieri fight! Instead he underperformed!!! And was widely criticized that that win wasn’t good enough to get a fight with Floyd. A close fight with algieri and u’d be expected to beat Floyd? Lmao!! He wins in twitter because he has a lot of UK fans not because he deserves the fight!!!

      Of course he would be 'petrified of losing' to his biggest domestic rival?

      Khan signed with Matchroom because he's being paid a fortune for tune ups before he gets a legacy fight.(pacquiao)

      If he signed up with Matchroom for the Brook fight, it would of been made by now. He doesn't want it and never has because he knows he'll be going to sleep.

        TS thinks Khan would KO mayweather yet dude couldn’t KO soft vargas. TS says he’d be elusive against floyd, who’s probably the most efficient and accurate boxer, (compubox can back that up), yet couldn’t avoid getting KD against slow ass vargas. Slow ass Julio, and many more slow ass fighters like Danny.

        TS is a Clear fanboy of Khan and is probably as delusional as him.
        I’ve never been a hater in this forum nor resort to trashtalk but TS is straight up trolling.

        Khan should fight Brook, bud, spence, porter, thurman if he wants to be remembered 10 yrs from now lol

The facts are that he is a high profile pro boxer who was fighting in the same division as Manny and Floyd, and who was chasing fights with them for years only to be repeatedly avoided. The movie is just a reflection of reality and it actually doesn't focus on Floyd and Manny much, it's more about everyday life in Team Khan. Floyd and Manny are sort of the subplot rather than the main story.
            He hasn't even accomplished much of anything but he's made ****** decision after ****** decision in the last couple years. He could have been getting back on track but he's making a doc instead. You do that shyt AFTER your career. The fact he's doing it now proves that's he's already mentally checked out and is just looking for checks now.

            I think he COULD HAVE been something but he's pretty much ensued that he'll be remembered as a "what went wrong" fighter.

              He is not great because he isn’t!!!
              A very simplistic point of view which has already been disproved by several fighters in the past, even specifically by a fighter we are already referring to in this very thread. Pacquiao was knocked out several times before he was considered a great fighter. He bounced back from those defeats and improved enough to become a great. By your reckoning, Pacquiao can't be a great simply because he has losses on his career before he was considered a great. See the problem with that? Same thing happened with Wladimir Klitschko too, knocked out several times, then went onto become a great afterwards.

              Okay let’s just say they truly avoided him, now what??!
              If he’s really great his career wouldn’t be as trash as it is now.

              Another oversimplification, leading yourself right back to the beginning of the story. How could Khan be a top p4p fighter when the two top p4p fighters in the world, both 147 pounders, ducked him. He can't climb the p4p list without fighting those guys because they were in the same division and ranked higher on p4p lists. It's a catch 22.

                It's usually trolls who start calling other people trolls. I've noticed this trend quite a bit here on this forum and it seems you've just placed yourself well and truly into that category. If you want to get emotional, go watch a soap opera, otherwise stick to boxing and stop randomly calling people "trolls" , "fanboys" and "delusional".

                "Slow ass Julio" got a draw with Shawn Porter - many thought he beat Porter in that first fight. Yep, the same WBC world champ, Shawn Porter. And he got that draw with Porter just one fight before Khan beat him.

                Vargas isn't soft, be fair to the man. He's a tough guy to take all those shots from Khan and keep coming. The only reason Garcia and Spence were able to KO him is because he took both those fights on short notice and wasn't in proper fight condition. If you have ever fought before, you will know that if you're not in good condition to fight there is a much higher chance you'll get KOd because your punch resistance simply won't be as high as if you were in proper fight condition. Your stamina, resilience, punch power, speed, footwork, movement will all be adversely affected if you're not in proper fight condition. You will be a shadow of your conditioned self. Vargas fought Garcia and Spence with a few weeks short notice, he was at his physical worst in those fights. That wasn't the same version of Vargas who had a full 10 week camp to face Khan.

                  If Khan is so great why has he not been a champ in 6 years??

                  Why does he manage to get dropped by c-class boxers??

                  I dont know if you are trolling or are just a loyal fan blinded by what you imagine him to be

                  Khan has fast hands true, but that is about it..He has been timed dropped and stopped by far less talented fighters then Manny and Floyd

                  He thought he should be literally handed a fight and never fought anyone worth a damn since going to 147, He feels like he can fight cans and be ahnded a huge fight and that is just ridiculous..

                  Khan does not believe in himself and that is why he wont fight top contenders or other champs in his division..Why is he not trying to fight Spence, Crawford, Porter or Thurman?? why is he not even mentioning their names?

                      Manny Pacquiao, Wladimir Klitschko, Lennox Lewis, Roy Jones Jr, Mike Tyson were all timed, dropped and stopped numerous times by fighters who were less talented than them. So Khan is just another fighter that it happened to, but you're behaving as if he's the only one. There is a luck element in boxing which we can't ignore and sometimes fighters will win fights not because they have superior skills, but because luck (and/or other factors) were working in their favor that night.




                      He thought he should be literally handed a fight and never fought anyone worth a damn since going to 147, He feels like he can fight cans and be ahnded a huge fight and that is just ridiculous..

                      He never thought he should be handed a fight, he won Floyd's official poll to get that fight but Floyd ducked him and fought Maidana instead (someone Khan had already whupped so instead of fighting Khan, Floyd took the easier route and fought Khan's leftovers.)

                      You have very selective memory or likely you're just trolling. Khan has called out Spence, Porter, Thurman and Garcia many times. Most recently as far as I know is the press conference he did around 3 weeks ago. Its on Fighthype YT and it's literally titled something like "Khan wants Spence, Porter, Thurman, Garcia, Pacquiao and Brook" lol
