Yes,but he has been beaten quite easily by Ward. Doesnt stop him saying hes the best. Khan admits,that he was KO'd and wants to fight his way back. And think he can beat the guys who KO'd him...which he probably can. Froch wouldnt beat Ward if he fought him 50 times. Like I said, Id be far more worried,if Khan started saying things like " yeah,I cant compete with these guys, Im going to get knocked out"
To be honest this makes sense to me, but the fights have been made, and people need to get over it. The obvious fight to be made after P v M and G v J is have the winners face each other. Assuming Khan beats Diaz name me a more deserving fighter to face the belt holder? Whatever the match up is I can say with confidence that EVERYONE is going to be interested in it. This is an entertainment industry, can we please stop complaining at the possibility of 4 great fights?
he is suggesting that there is some sort of 4 man torney of top fighters happening just to see who will fight him. if Khan keeps being blinded to him weaknesses then his career will be over within 7 months. Peterson & Garcia already beat Khan FFS ( and for the record, Peterson exposed Khan more than Garcia or Prescott ever did). If Khan wanted to do things right, he would keep his mouth shut and fight his way back into contention, then he could start calling out the top fighters. The only reason Khan is a draw right now is cause people want to see him wobble.
Yup,using the logic of others here, all Garcia has done is beat a shot Erik Morales and a china chinned fraud in Khan. You cant have it both ways. Either Khan is legit or he isnt. You cant take credit for beating him if hes a fraud
Peterson exposed him by betaing him in a very controversial decsion in Petersons home town when he was juiced up?
Fair enough, guess that's why he's mixed up in a tournament. Remind me again why Khan isn't in that same tournament, please?
I think the stuff he says is hilarious. Tbh, he has already beaten Judah and Peterson fight was close, so a fight with Matthysse would sound fair.
we always knew Khan was chinny, what we found out was that he can not fight on the inside at all. a guy like Bradley would destory Khan on the inside. Khan has amazing talent but with his weak chin, lack of inside game and huge heart any decent fighter with a game plan is going to be him. Khan is going the way of Zab Judah but he never even got to be the man first. but the main problem with Khan is his ego, he never seems to learn his lesson. he needs to keep his head down. he is still young enough to learn and come back but he is always mouthing off and then not delivering. you can only do that so much.
I think the criticism comes more from him getting opportunities without having to put himself in the line of fire to get them. Khan acts as if he is Gods gift to the 140 pound division.
... except that Matthysse would likely have to get past Garcia, a fighter who whupped Khan's ass already. nut
Im sorry, but you cnat just ignore the fact that he has a better resume than nearly any of them! Also this is the way the fights were made. Have a problem,take it up with golden boy. If you have 5 fighters,how do you decide who is the one who doesnt fight? Khan has done more than Matthyse Hes beaten Judah Hes lost controversially to Peterson,when Peterson was juiced up And hes lost to Garcia. Maybe Garcia should have been given the final spot. But thats just the way it is. Khan is the money fighter here, he brings in the bucks. Thats just how boxing works
WHAT??? The guys fought more hard fights than Matthyse and Garcia combined!! The guys fought Malignaggi Judah Peterson Garcia Kotelnik Maidana even McCloskey was ranked high when Khan fought him! ...and you think hes had it easy???
