    Khan is an idiot he has wasted a lot of time chasing Floyd. Even after the 'deadline' he set for Mayweather :rofl he has been talking about a fight with him.

    Salita was his mandatory. McCloskey was his homecoming fight right after a tough battle against Maidana. BTW the Peterson fight was after McCloskey fight not before. He did have rematch with Peterson set except Peterson was busted for steroid use.

    The problem with Khan is apparently he thinks he can talk himself into the top tier.
    Will I watch a Khan fight? Yes. Do I think he's good? Yes. Has he proven that he deserves a shot at Mayweather or Pac? NOPE.

    Khan is way too funny. I don't know if it's him or his handlers that have him so deluded.

    So after losing to Garcia, he goes life and death with a 7 year past his prime Julio Diaz (who was no world beater even when he was in his prime,) than he travels up to WW and beats a faded Luis collazo who hasn't been relevant in about ten years and than beats a JWW in Alexander who hasn't really done anything for the last 2 years, let alone at 147 lbs.

    So him fighting only twice ever at WW and beating 2 guys that were probably not even top 10 WW's at the time makes him and his management team think he's ready to take on the very best fighters in the sport? Instead of stalking these guys like a bitter ex girlfriend, he should just stay busy and try to gain one of the trinket titles so he can actually have somewhat of a leg to stand on in this sad, creepy argument of his. Why not let your body of work speak for itself as to the reason why you're deseving of a matchup with Floyd or manny, rather than stalking them like some bitter weirdo.

    tbh you can't blame him for wanting to fight the best 2 fighters in the devision.
    Pac has been in talks with him and considered the fight if mayweather fight didn't materialise.

    As for Brook.....The Fight would be huge in the uk., but he isn't a household name in the uk like khan is...yeah he is big in terms of if you follow and know boxing.
    Khans problem is he does tend to open his mouth and talk a bit too much for his own good, but in same light if some fighters arnt willing to fight him whats he meant to do.

    People say rematch Garcia and peterson........but garcia has rejected the fight apparently a few times and imo the peterson fight i see as going backwards in terms of fights, not upwards to bigger fights.

    It would be easier to make this argument had Floyd not included Khan on a poll of who he should fight next, and then fought Maidana when Khan won it.

    Khan is at least as deserving as guys like Algeiri, Maidana, Guerrero, Ortiz, Rios.

    personally i feel what happened is floyd threw the poll, studied both there styles and fights and decided maidana was the easy option.

    There's no reason he deserves it. He hasn't done enough yet at WW to prove his worth. I don't care if he had 50 million people voting for him on that poll, it wasn't like he was the lineal JWW champion coming up to 147 to try and dethrone the P4P king. He got embarrassed at the tail end of his JWW reign.

    Floyd (or his handlers,) should've never included him on a poll, that was kind of silly on his part. The only thing khan brings is a somewhat established UK FANBASE, and even that is a little suspect considering the poor crowd turnout in his fight against Alexander where he was headlining in vegas. Hatton never had a problem filling the seats in Vegas with his countrymen.

    Let's not make this guy out to be Ricky hatton, a guy who was truly loved by his entire country. And at least in hattons case, he was an undefeated fighter who was the JWW kingpin before he ventured up to WW. And even than he campaigned for a few fights to adjust to the weight class before he took on Mayweather.

    I like khans style, I just don't like his sense of entitlement. What exactly has he done in his overrated career that makes him think he should be mentioned as a potential opponent with the very best in the sport?


    Let him take on brook, build his audience a little more and try and take that alphabet title away from him. It'll actually make his lunatic rants sound a little less crazy when he's saying guys like Mayweather are ducking him. He's really suffering from delusions of grandeur.

    Floyd himself included him in a poll on who he should face next back in early 2013.

    Team Pacquiao have said if they can't get the Floyd fight, they consider Khan to be 'the best possible alternative'.

    Why shouldn't Khan chase these fights when both guys have made it clear they consider him a worthy opponent? I don't understand your logic.

    khan is just looking for the $... but why doesn't he fight cotto? bradley? call out thurman? what about danny garcia? who he lost to badly? no, he just wants the big two... i don't think he deserves it. Khan needs to get past a really dangerous fighter before he thinks he deserves a shot at Floyd or Manny. Who did he beat? devon? and collazo? please...

    He needs to focus on Kel brook. That would be a good match-up..

    i would then like to se whim face Danny Garcia to see if he has the goods to avenge that embarrassing TKO

    this whole Floyd promised him a fight bull**** needs to stop.

    unless in wrong, to my knowledge Floyd has never promised him anything, khan just started that **** himself.

    What's funny is that Khan actually thinks he's some big draw.

    I'm pretty sure most of England doesn't like him. And it has NOTHING to do with his race.

    Floyd was going to fight Maidana off the get go, he just stuck Khans name in there for the purpose of a poll.

    what was the better choice?
    Fight the guy who hasn't won a relevant fight in two years or face the guy who just took the 0, off a undefeated rising "star". Not to mention Maidana had a belt.

    what did Khan have? ****?

    Floyd fought the right guy, Khan was completely irrelevant, its only since then hes beat part time drunk Collazo and Alexander.

    Now Khans out of options, he could have fought featherfisted Guererro, but hes with Thurman.

    If Khan is genuine he will face another top ten fighter, if his next opponent is a bum. Then that shows Khans intentions clearly.

    Khan knows hes one punch from obscurity, may as well travel the safest path and quickly get that pay cheque.

    Hed not a big draw, all this **** about him being popular in India, ****stan, middle east is all *******s. Most of those people don't even know who he is. Hamed was a lot more popular than Khan and he never cracked those markets.

    Khan was booed at the Groves/Froch fight.

    if we look back at Khans career, he was always spoon fed, Murray, Mitchell, Thaxton and now Brook....all guys Khan could and should have fought but he ducked or skipped.

    when Manny came to the UK he didn't come to see Khan, he came to see Prince Harry, Khan turns up uninvited and basically was ready to suck Manny off to try and get a fight.

    I wont even start on the Floyd Mask promo.....
