    Ive said this before. Khan is a bull****ter.He KNOWS his career is hanging in the balance, hes one humiliating ko away from obscurity. He wants that paycheck before this happens.In order to save himself from a humiliating KO, hes going to try and tiptoe his way to the top, hence why he fought Alexander. The problem now is, everyone else will knock his head clean off so hes playing the waiting game hence why he last fought 4 months ago and still hasn't named an opponent.Despite saying three weeks ago he had an announcement to make.Hes either going to play the waiting game until after May 2nd and then get knocked out or hes going to fight some harmless bum in the meantime.

    He fought the loser out of the Brook, Porter, Alexander trinity.

    Collazo was a washed up alcoholic who hadn't done anything in years, all he did was beat Ortiz who himself had been semi retired and making movies.

    He also calls out fighters that he knows can't be made, like Cotto, Bradley and Pacman. All 3 foghts can't be made becaise of Haymons relationships with their promoters. But when big fights can be made like Brook, fpr a career high payday, he pulls out a big name fighter that he wants instead knowing it can't be made, knowing some of his fans will believe he's really going for the big fights. I've had enough of his constant bull****.

    Khan wouldn't bring money. He's nowhere near the big draw you seem to think he is.

    The FACT is, Khan has NEVER been a big draw.

    Beating Khan doesn't do anything for his legacy. Floyd should fight Brook for the Undisputed WW Championship, or fight Thurman, who's considered by some as the next big thing, or Bradley, who's still a top 10 P4P fighter.

    Even without fighting Khan, Floyd is set for life from the Pacquiao fight alone.

    Honestly, Khan is an idiot for not fighting Alexander when he had the IBF title. He's also an idiot for thinking beating old, washed-up, recovering alcoholic Collazo was going to earn him a shot at Floyd.

    I appreciate the bravado he brings, I like guys that want to fight everyone.

    But if he really wants to start impressing the fans, he should be calling out the other WW's in the division since he's only been campaigning at 147 for 2 fights now and it's not like he was coming up as the lineal champ from 140 to be deserving of big name title shots at WW so early.

    I'd like to see him fight Keith Thurman or Porter next before he starts barking out to fight ATG's. A rematch with Maidana or Garcia also sounds good to me, I think Maidana is a different fighter now and would keep the pressure consistently from the very beginning of the fight.

    It seems Haymon is keeping him away from big power punchers. I mean Diaz put him on his backside a few fights ago, and Diaz was at least 7 years out of his prime when they fought.

    Khan is in a situation where any of the good fighters at ww can punch so he is trying to avoid them, bradlet is te only top ww who can punch but because of promoters it wont happen. He will either wait and call put the winner on may2 to no avail or fight and algieri type fighter. He will only fight a top ww when there is absolutely no one else left and for a title maybe

    I could actually see khan having A decent chance vs thurman (if he survived the early onslaught) or porter or rios or even maidana again but they are huge risks that would make a statement but he wont consider it.

    Khans a big name in boxing not sure what you're talking about here. He's bigger than THurman and Brook combined, he is bigger than Maidana, Ortiz and Guerrero easily. He brings more money to the table with UK ppv and overseas television money. He did like just under a 100k ppv buys for Mccloskey on prime time ppv and like 125-150 for Judah on prime time also, thats damn impressive considering prime time isn't known by anybody and they don't advertise at all like Sky. He is a household name in the UK everybody knows him, Kell is only known in Sheffield and thats it! Thurman is still not that well known outside boxing fans. Even Floyd and Ellerbe said that Khan has a great fanbase and brings revenue in one of the interviews during a round table before the first Maidana fight.

    Bradley is not a top 10 p4p fighter, Pac schooled him twice and Chaves just drew with him, provodnikov had him out on his feet all through the fight and he just turned down Khan for the 50th time for a fight.

    You're right about Floyd not needing Khan anymore but when it looked like the negotiations with pac weren't going well it was Khan that was the only option really there for him. It was only till they met in Miami until they negotiations got a massive boost, but until then it wasn't looking positive.

    Al haymon advised Khan not to fight Alexander who obviously told Khan that it was HIGHLY likely you are next for Floyd and I advise you not to take this fight. What other reason would it have been for Khan not to fight Alexander, its not like he wasn't confident of easily beating him was it? If Al Haymon told me the same I would have done the same, after all Mayweather can't stop praising Al haymon in every interview he does. Floyd fought Ortiz after he beat Berto, he fought Guerrero after he beat Berto, he fought Maidana after he beat Broner. Its not like these are massive wins over huge mega stars is it?

    I think Khan is entitled to his opinion on the fight. He sparred with Manny. So he knows his tendencies.

    I'm saying beating Brook, and holding all four WW titles would help his legacy more. And like it or not, Bradley is a good scalp for Floyd. There are people who want Thurman to fight Floyd. Let's say Floyd fights and beats Thurman, then Thurman goes on to rule the division.

    Khan said he wants to retire by 30. Since he's 28, that only gives him 2 years to go on to be great if Floyd were to beat him.

    Khan knows a thing or two about Pacquiao.

    Khan has never been layed out unconcious the way Pacquiao was. That has got to figure in Pacquiao's mindset when Mayweather's sharp counter shots start to land.

    The shot you dont see coming is the shot that takes you out and as quick reflexively that Mayweather is to strike, that is going to play with Pacquiao's mind as to have flashbacks to KTFO6 during the fight.

    Khan has it correct imo.

    He's seriously delusional. Like when he beat Alexander who while a good fighter isn't near the level of Mayweather and PAC BUT Khan thinks this win puts himself on par with them. He didn't even fight the man who beat Alexander (Porter) or the man who best Porter (Brook).

    Khan and his fanboys also seem to think he's some master boxer on par with Pernell Whitaker.
