    Wow, I suck at fighting too. Wonder if I could get a easy million too loose?

        Who has he beat in the last few years to get a big fight? He has to earn it and quit relying on his name, which has become a joke punchline lately.

          Big fights.

          Hahahahaha.

          This guy's biggest claims to fame is who knocked him out.

          Who gives a ****?

But if you look at his resume he's taken more risks than most of these fighters have. Sure, He's been KO'd a few times and he quit against Crawford but at least he's fought some of the best. And his fights are never boring.

            You know who else has taken risks? Broner.
            Broner got beat by Maidana, by Garcia, by Manny

            At least he fought big names, right?

            We are now celebrating spectacular losses just because we idolize our guys. What a sad state of affairs we’ve become

              Khan’s last big fight was with his ex-wife (he accused her of getting ****ed down by AJ)

They are no longer top contenders but there is still mild interest in them fighting in the UK. They should take that opportunity before one of them becomes more shop worn than they already are.
                Possibly, but it's a fight I can't see Khan taking at this stage of his career so I don't think it happens. He wanted no parts of Brook when Brook was a title holder and there was a huge appeal for the fight so it's likely he would now.

                  "Celebrating spectacular losses" "idolizing"?...those are pretty strong words. Im gonna pretend you're speaking for yourself and you didn't lump me in with you.

                  I simply pointed out they he has faced better opposition than most of the current so called "top" fighters.

                    Yes, I was being sarcastic. You are literally glorifying those losses.

                    Khan has been reduced to being a journeyman while still in his prime. Journeyman status is typically reserved for aging and past their prime boxers or boxers who get exposed and still get big fights by virtue of name recognition.

                    Khan is just a sad case. How do you spin something bad and embarrassing into “he’s faced better opposition”?

                      Not only does your reading comprehension suck but you've also seemed to have mistaken me for an Amir Khan fan.

                      You seen to be the one "spinning". But take it how you want. I don't give a ****
