He was a fearless Brit Level road warrior who was fighting with the handicap of a broken right hand for a decade. Obviously he was never the same after that savage Clenbuterol bomb from hell from a 190lb juiced to **** Clenelo cracked his chin though. How fearless was he? Well he jumped at the chance to fight the way bigger Clenelo. You think Clenelo would ever dare even dream about contemplating fighting Usyk or Gassiev?
Brook was another fearless Brit Level warrior. The only thing a fearless Brit Level warrior fears is another fearless Brit Level warrior. Hence why a fight between them could never be made and it's not without good reason a fearless Brit Level warrior fears one of their own either.
If I read one more poster say "Amir Khan was game to fight anyone.", I'm gonna have an aneurysm. He crossed the Atlantic Ocean to hide from Kell Brook. FACTS. Amir Khan would have a passing thought about Special K, and would need 6 months of sports psychology, and Virgil Hunter rubbing his head telling him he's got the fastest hands in boxing, to be able to sleep without seeing Kells face. Proper game lad that Amir Khan.
He was still good enough and dangerous enough to make Floyd reconsider his silly "I'll fight who the fans vote for" poll. talk about backfire!
Yeah it was definitely that. Had nothing to do with Maidana being a recognised champion, who was more active, on a better streak, and who had just beaten Floyd's protege... He was scared of Khan.
Why the poll i the first place? Why say he'll fight whomever wins the poll? THOSE questions should have entered your mind already.
To drum up hype. Because that was the intent. You know his Twitter page wasn't the only place that took a poll, right? This is speculation, but I honestly think he expected people to pick Maidana when the poll came out considering the things I mentioned in the previous post, I reckon there were probably negotiations with Maidanas team the moment he beat Broner. The poll on his Twitter went against the general consensus and Khans promotional team latched onto it. Even if that isn't the case,are you telling me you think the only reason there could be for a boxer to not fight the man he's said he would, is because that boxer is scared?
Really? The most popular fighter in the world at the time needed to drum up hype w/ a fake poll? The 'revenge angle on his protege' wasn't enough? Either way, it was a lame attempt to gauge who to face next.
He didn't need it, but it couldn't hurt. Did he need that tour, to drum up hype for the Mcgregor sideshow? No. It's just promotion, so he can get more money. Either way, I agree on the last bit lol.
