    Steve Bunce the Box Nation TV presenter in the UK mentioned on live TV that he got told from someone from the Floyd Maywetaher camp that they didn’t fancy the Khan fight because they felt there’s something about his boxing style that may be wrong for Mayweather. Steve Bunce mentioned he couldn’t say the person’s name or else he would get the sack. I obviously don’t know how true this is but I cannot see any reason why Steve Bunce would make this up.

    Kell Brook was asked whether Amir Khan would beat Floyd Mayweather. Kell brook is obviously his arch rival and doesn’t like Amir Khan. Kell brook replied “possibly, he has long arms and fast hands”

    There’s enough evidence out there to suggest that Khan could have given Floyd a good fight. The fight should have happened

    None of this holds any water for me. The UK media and kell Brook? What does kell Brook know about fighting Mayweather or even kahn for that matter?

    It has everything to do with critical thinking. You are trying to use logic that isn't logical. All you can come up with is that those fighters are mad at floyd and don't want to give him credit. That had to have been written with your purple crayon or something....

    Well..for that matter, since you are not boxer either, the **** do you know about anyone fighting Mayweather? Brook's boxing IQ is VASTLY superior to whatever you think you have in the pea brain...

    Mayweather has a murderers row on his resume

    Don’t think someone with the boxing IQ of Khan would be his toughest fight although he may have made him look silly for a few rounds.

    You realize you are talking to someone you know nothing about on a forum right? You are the most bizzare poster on this board and I'm actually now legitimately creeped out by you

    Think khan would have a few good rounds early doors, with his fast hands and movement but he's never really carried much power. Plus when you factor in the chin issue see him getting caught out around the 7th when he starts to gas.

    Does actually pain me to say that because Floyd has always pissed me off a bit always seemed like an arrogant d#ck. But saying that in a way what pissed me off was he was actually a really clever defensive boxer. Great timing on the counter and showed just enough to lure an opponent onto the front foot.

    Floyd did duck a lot of fights tho this one probably should of happend

    Both polar opposites when you think about it style wise

    He won the poll. Already had beaten Maidana. So he deserved the fight. If not then, he definitely deserved the fight instead of Berto. Floyd would have got more PPV buys fighting Khan than Berto

    Many more fighters were more deserving than both Khan and Berto of a fight with Floyd in 2014 and 2015. Maidana was a current world champion who had the defeated an unbeaten Hyped 4 weight world champion In Broner. Khan was not deserving of anything and he had stopped looking for challenges just trying to cash out. It was so obvious it was embarrassing. Floyd victim Canelo accommodated him and put his lights out. Matchmaking is not decided by polls. For the record there were several polls Maidana won some Khan won others so what. Maidana made better economic sense and he brought a title to the table whereas Khan brought nothing to the table as he still had Garcia, Peterson and Prescott problems.

    Maidana lost to Khan, Kotelnik and Devon Alexander. Khan completely schooled both Kotelnik and Devon Alexander. Khan was so desperate to fight Floyd Mayweather he even offered to fight him for free. Khan versus Mayweather was never about the money for Khan

    BS! He never offered to fight Floyd or anyone for free. Khan is deluded and thick but even he is not that stupid.
