    I've actually warmed to Khan of late. He's fixed many of his flaws with Hunter and I now actually enjoy watching him fight and am interested in seeing what these changes will do for his performance level.

    But I'll never be a fan, he's just so deluded, so out of touch with what the fans really think and like. Every time he opens his mouth he puts his foot in it. Only Andre Ward does a worse job of promoting himself but at least he is elite and has proven himself, so at least there is some reason for his arrogance and diva like behaviour.

    Haha Khan is actually using losses to try and prove a point.

    The desperation is real.

    His desperate for Brook to lose so he has an excuse not to fight him.

    Factoid: Khan has never been betting underdog in any fight

    Happy to be corrected on this

    That's called psychological projection.

    It's sad enough that this clown is acting like he's Floyd Mayweather version 2 of this era when his biggest win to date is Maidana. Better keep sending him to the likes of Algieri and Broner before someone with half decent power puts him to sleep.

    "I don't want to be the one giving him the opportunity," Khan told ***********.com. "

    Brook is a major belt owner, Khan is not. I don't understand what he means by "giving him the opportunity". The only opportunity he can give Brook is winning a low risk/high reward fight, so if he means that, then it makes sense.

    Khan is a deluded twitter comedian, nothing else really. Fact is, he needs that IBF belt to earn the payday he has been trying to getting through begging and crying.

    The only fight that Khan can realistically take now without looking like an idiot is Tim Bradley. If he refuses to fight Brook then fights Algieri, he will be seen as a massive cherry picker.

    Prior to his loss to Garcia, Khan took on all the best opponents but since that loss he has been cherry picking his way back to the top. Credit for fighting Alexander though, Alexander was a solid top 10 WW and Khan won easily. Khan needs to man up and fight the top fighters again.

    I pray PAC and Floyd ignore this dude and retire. If Khan wants to be the best. Let him prove it against the other up-n-comers. Dude talks like he already cleared out the division. Last I heard it's very debatable who the next best WW is after PAC and Floyd.

    I don't know if Khan's just trying to create drama because they both intend to fight each other or he's just talking BS.

    I'll reserve my judgement for now.

    Why does Khan just want to fight opponents with 20% to 50% KO rates? :think

    His opponents with Hunter have been embarrassing in that respect.
