No one takes boxers that seriously when they are trying to get a fight or trash talk. But I don't think you can deny that Khan is one of the most entertaining fighters to watch rarely in a dull fight. We there you want him to win or want him to get knocked out, a bit like Naz.
In his defence (kind of) you could say that: He's cementing his own legacy. Of talking rubbish. Or If you haven't got a legacy, what damage can you do to it.
Khan 'fight me Floyd' Khan is how I will remember him. The decent legacy he had at junior welter, is being completely overshadowed by him calling out Floyd over the last 3 years. This is his boxing legacy
The reason his name gets mentioned alongside floyd and manny is because he never shuts up talking about them Plus they've more or less cleaned everybody else out who earned a shot except him, Garcia, Brook and Thurman.
Khan is now a national embarrassment. Khan has lost any self respect and dignity he had. Mind you he lost both those things when he logged in to Skype.
Max (San Diego) Of the following three names, which do you think gets the Mayweather nod: Khan, Porter, or Brook? Dan Rafael, King Fight Freak (11:59 AM) None.
Months before he fought Alexander, i said watch, hes going to face Alexander who cant punch and then maybe face some other none puncher like Guerrero and try and tip toe his way to the top, while avoiding anyone with a pulse. And here is, doing exactly that. Although he fought Algieri, dont be surprised if Khan/Guerrero is announced soon.
Floyd's legacy is sealed. Can't blame Amir for chasing the biggest payday out there and it makes for a mega fight.... but him avoiding Brook is messing HIS legacy up! Khan can't keep moving the goal posts with Brook. Put up or shut up, it's getting embarrassing.
Mayweather wouldn't be Khan's biggest payday, Brook would. I have no problem with Khan chasing Floyd because he's p4p#1 but if he can't get him take the next best option, not the easiest he can get away with. The reasons I think he'd be willing to take a smaller purse are: If he beats Floyd he'd be written into boxing history forever. Floyd is the one boxer who it's okay to lose to. If he lost vs Floyd it's unlikely to be a brutal KO like Prescott or Garcia, it would probably be a points decision where he'd leave the ring unscathed. If he loses to Brook his career is pretty much over, whilst Brook's career at world level takes off.
Can't believe the stuff about Brook either. That he needs to prove himself etc. BROOK IS THE CURRENT IBF WORLD CHAMPION YOU ****ING BELL END
Ive been saying this since last year. Khan is one punch away from a career ending humiliating KO, so may as well grab as much money as he can before he gets sparked. Hence why hes facing complete none threats.
