    Which guys would make it priority to ENTERTAIN fans, the same "fans" who will often laugh at said fighter when his emotional **** fails and gets him KTFO.

    Khan just has some really bad habits I don't think he's intentionally not fighting his fight to entertain anyone.

    Do you mean intentionally going to war when that's not your style to entertain or just toy with a guy to entertain and give the crowd it's moneys worth like RJJ would admittedly do?

    Linares is a fool he should have kept on the outside and ran for the remainder of the fight....Demarco shouldn't have been given an opportunity to come back into that fight...let the crowd reaction to him getting punch in his grill.

    Going to war when it's not your style.

    Khan was brought up since he wanted keyboard jockeys to certify his chin

    yeah he needs to slow down. It may actually do him some favors if he loses a close or controversial decision to Paulie so he can get more serious

    "Trying to entertain the fans" is normally just an excuse from a fighter when they haven't done as well as expected.
