Comments Thread For: Khan: I'll Always Have World Title Fights, Brook Will Be There Too

[Ray*]

The Olympics is all politics after what happened to roy and Mayweather I been stopped giving that credit. I would take a prime focus Judah over Khan. Zab gave Floyd a very very good fight. I mean his career definitely longer than Khan with wayy more one sided loses but I think Judah had more talent. I would compare Judah to broner.

Khan did have a better career but better talent nahh nope.

Just watch Khan get another big fight like Judah use to get, who is the better talent? I don’t know. But I know someone is dig up Khan sooner like they use to do Judah.

Khan is washed up now... just a name to be added to a resume,

I don't even want to see him fight Kell Brook, rather see him fight AB.. B - fighters should fight B - fighters point blank, keep throwing these dudes in with the wolves we all know the outcome.

Unless Thurman, Porter, Spence, Pac, Crawford have been out a while or need a tune up its no reason for them to keep fighting these fighters who dont even deserve a shot unless. You should have to fight top 3 that's ranked...not top 10 or 15 leaves to much room to pick and choose.

I never got that... example AB takes a L to Mickey Garcia and gets a title shot at Pac and Im pretty sure his next fight will be for another title

They should withheld some of his purse for being a fanny ... khan robbed us of the chance to see the stanky leg

Khans right though there’s plenty of daftys that will pay to watch him fight .... his fans are mostly not boxing fans they are religion fans .

yep. He has a lot of casuals who dont follow boxing at all, most of which wouldnt even know the difference in levels between vargas and crawford. Blind followers, due to race, nationality and religon.

In the UK especially this is very true. Inner city ****** lads see him as a hero and follow him blindly.

I agree with your comment. He can still sale in the UK I would trolling otherwise. However i think it's wrong for him to get another major fight in the US after quiting.

Rigo quitting was bad too but he could hide behind the fact he couldn't speak english, however Khan sat their and lied. He quit got paid and robbed the fans.

No I think hes done getting undeserved shots, especially in America

At one stage Khan vs Brooke would have sold out Wembley Stadium. If the fight was made today it would probably be at the O2.

For some reason people never get tired of seeing this guy get his ass whooped.

Khan has one of the most carefully crafted resumes in boxing, he had a credible run at 140 for a period of about 2 years, then in 2012 went to 147 to hitch his skirt up for a Maywrather or Pac payday, carefully avoiding any major threats at 147 lest he lose the Mayweather/Pac lottery ticket.

Only question now is how low he needs to go in the rankings to be 50/50. But i would like to see Horn/Khan.

Lots of people would pay for Broner/Khan too as its almost guaranteed value-for-money in that you get to see one of them lose.

I’m not sure it’s fair to say his career was entirely crafted for ease. He could have held onto one belt and refused to travel like others have done. He could have done a Wilder and taken one challenge for every five fringe contender fights and pad his record out. He didn’t, he took a tough defence against Garcia he then took on a prime Peterson in his home town (and got robbed). He then climbed his way back up the rankings and unable to get a door open at his favoured weight took on one of the best fighters of a generation giving away a heap of weight. ****** perhaps, but definitely not carefully crafted.

I totally agree with Crawford he had a very easy pathway to opportunity based on his local fame and that definitely eats at Khan’s confidence, but to say his career was a facade of easy fights is really unfair.

He isn’t good enough to fight Crawford, probably would never have been and very few ever will be. He was better at LWW, but was not able to continue at that weight and sought a new challenge.

If you ask me, Khan’s inability to focus and get back on track five years ago is all about his lifestyle. He was a crash weight loser, a bad habit. He married a gold digging dumb ass and had to constantly appease issues at home. He grew up training, fasting for his religion and managing fame poorly, so found himself with an 18yr olds maturity in a 30yrs old body and couldn’t keep his D in his pants.

Basically, you could say he blew the talent he has and even though he blew it, he won and defended multiple world titles, made more than $30m, will have some kind of profile in UK to eat off for the rest of his life and became the first Pakastani to make a career at top level boxing. By the standards of most humans, he is a huge success.

In the UK especially this is very true. Inner city ****** lads see him as a hero and follow him blindly.

If those inner city ****** lads, decide to follow a moderate path and learn from his success and failures and put something back into their community, as Khan done, then he has done some good for them, regardless of anyone’s prejudice, he is hardly the worst role model and has proved himself to be relatable to the youth who follow him (mostly because of his failings).
