Is there a fighter that has put in a bigger effort into calling out another fighter than Khan and his incessant, never ending devotion in calling out Floyd? For a few years now every Khan interview on TV, Youtube, magazine, newspaper, his Twitter account, FB is dedicated to calling out Floyd. Is there anyone out there who has begged for a fight this much? Haye calling out Wladamir. Froch chasing Calzaghe and Witter looking for a Hatton fight spring to mind. Are there any other contenders?
No, you're right, it's Khan Khan has lost every shread of dignity and every ounce of respect chasing Mayweather. It has been a series of embarrassing incident after embarrassing incident. His reputation will never recover now, if he don't get Mayweather then Brook knocks him out and he will fade into obscurity. Khan will end like Shannon Briggs in 10 years ... "Let's go champ"
If Khan doesn't get the Floyd fight in September he's going to have to think of another excuse not to fight Brook.
True, the t-shirt with the severed heads springs to mind, Haye's calling out seemed more aggresive and disrespect-able, but it feels like Khan has been calling Floyd out for much much much longer. Haye did talk his way into the fight, but he held a Strap in the HW division, so I think he was more justified in getting a fight with Wlad than Khan getting a fight with Floyd at this stage of Khan's career
Personally praying mayweather brook gets done, Khan has a meltdown and decides to fight another past it/feather fister, brook schools mayweather, Khan all of a sudden becomes receptive to the brook fight(payday, will still want the lions share of the purse) only for brook to dangle that carrot and pull it away at the last second to fight maidana, who he beats more convincingly than Khan Khan then rematches Danny Garcia, gets flattened again and gets jibbed off by haymon, whilst kell becomes TBE
Good shout. The issue with Khan/Mayweather is that Khan doesn't call him out- he just states that he'd like to fight him. Along with the rest of the top ten.
