Has Amir Khan Been Avoided By More ATGs Than Any Other Fighter In History?

[BodiesInFlight]

The OP definitely knows Khan personally.

Mayweather Pac Marquez would've brutalized and embarrassed Con. Bradley declined the fight to take on Pacquiao, who was a much bigger challenge. Not sure how Bradley and Con would've played out, and Bradley isn't an ATG.

Con's fans are as delusional as he is.

maybe but, the tmiing was crucial, Khan peaked at the time Moneys reaction speed and energy were fading. He'd have been more of a threat than several of moneys opponents around that time.

plus arguably Bradley might make it in there.

Khan being 'ducked' by elite fighters is just a fantasy dreamed up on a Bolton mini cab rank.

While he has some skills (hand-speed mainly) any elite fighter can either overcome this.

My biggest problem with Khan and his (mostly Pakistani) fan base is that they fanatically believe their own BS.

They are the Alex Jones's / info wars of boxing... there is some small truth in what they say, but 99% is just hyperbole and nonsense.

Lol what you talking about man? Khan has not only been ducked by those fighters but all of them were clear ducks on public record. bradley and Mayweather ducked him so openly that they could be the most public ducks ever witnessed in boxing.. if you believe otherwise then you are the one spouting alex jones type propoganda

Considering Khan's better than some guys who got cracks at both Manny and Floyd I wouldn't say he never "earned" it more so than the timing maybe not always being right when those guys were available. Manny v Khan could've happened last year but Bob put an end to that lol.

Khan did himself no favours at the time. He was too content cherry picking his own opposition to earn a title shot. He backed out of a fight with Broner, so Broner fought Maidana who then beat Broner to earn his shot at Mayweather.

Had Khan had the balls to fight Broner then he would of likely beaten him and may have been the guy Mayweather chose to fight next. Instead Khan picked Alexander and even then backed out of the fight which meant Porter stepped in and beat Alexander.

Khan then wasted a year and came back to beat Alexander again who of course was coming off a loss to Porter and Porter of course lost to Brook in the meantime so even a win over Alexander then was garbage and did nothing for Khan.

Khan then tried to fight Pac instead and fought Algieri and looked awful in doing so when Pac had dominated Algieri. So again Khan made simply didn't make a strong case to deserve a shot.

Duh.. Khan chased Broner and even confronted him face to face but broner got shook and went silent for ages while khan was trying to make the fight.. broner ducked khan same way but he aint atg, where you get your info from bandcamp? Lol

[Floyd is TBE]

Are we talking about the same guy that's still ducking Kell Brook?

[F!x]

Pacquiao did the same thing. Does having more fans than Maidana earn you a fight? Especially when most of Khan's fans are from Pakistan and bring no money.

Lol did you conveniently forget that khan already beat maidana and he beat him better than floyd subsequently did after ducking khan.. floyd struggled against a washed up maidana who nearly retired after khan beat him years earlier

Beat him better? It was an either way fight with Khan barely surviving.

Are you conveniently forgetting that Khan got KTFO since that fight and his best win since getting KTFO was Julio Diaz?

I was always intrigued with a Khan vs Mayweather fight, but Khan decided to sit back and hope Floyd picked him rather than going out there and earning it.
