Amir Khan wants to fight Pacquiao or Mayweather in 18 Months. Why Not?

Khan should go for the top immediately, because his jaw will be exposed again by any guy with decent power. He needs to make his move for the big money and hope for the best. He doesn't have the luxury to do anything else than this. He also still has hype and somewhat of a following so h can do this. There is money to be made, thus he has the means to get it done. Better to be defeated by ATG's then some random contender who won't really amount to anything.

 

Because depending on which one he fought he'd either get his ass kicked or thoroughly outboxed and made to look like a fool.

 

lol but not Bradley?

 

Mayweather's Laser like punches would bust Khan up. No way does he make it to the final bell.

 

is amir really lookin past paulie already atsch

 

LMAO like a redhead stepchild

I think he would last longer than 2 round against Bradley though.

 

he wants a big money payday before he gets starched by devon alexander.

 

Khan isn't even in the top four or five in his division in my opinion.

That doesn't include Mayweather or Pacquiao.

He has little or no shot against the above two.

I'd make him a big dog against Bradley and Alexander.

You have to get off his nuts for a few minutes to look at this clearly.

 

No-one will remember Amir Khan in 18 months!!!
:deal

 

bradley takes him out faster than manny or shane

 

Khan needs more fights against better oposition before hee even thinks about these gus. But he nows b the time he is read they might hav retired so probabl wants a pada. nows he will lose but probabl thinks its one of those if he loses everone will say you too on the best need time to develop.

I do thin he can beat those in his division lie madaina and alexander. Not ready for bradley yet but will be. There is no reason he cant take on the best in this division.

 

18 months can be a long time in boxing.

In the summer of 2007, Pac was fighting Solis at Super-featherweight; Oscr had just lost a split decision to Floyd.


18 months later, Pac stopped Oscar.

And then Hatton.




In May of 08, Cotto was undefeated and getting ready to face Margarito in a superfight at 147.

Pac had just edged JMM at 130.

18 months later, Pac destroyed Cotto. And is getting ready to face Clottey.




I don't think he will be ready for Pac or Floyd in 18 months.

But stranger things have happened.

 

'No one will remember khan now that hes been starched by prescott'

Hello World Champion :rofl

 

the reason I think that is because Bradley is probably more motivated than the rest of the guys one there, Pacquiao and Mosley included. He has said he is sick of fighting 'meaningless' fights, blowing Khan out opens some doors for him that aren't available now. Think of it like Mayweather-Gatti. All that stood between Mayweather and big paydays was a club fighter with a paper title, and he beat Gatti like a drum, expect something similar out of Bradley.

 

yes stranger things have happened, but the fighters who you mention there were already well established names having fought and beat good fighters, something that khan has not done so far. khan's level of competition has been ridiculous so far. he didn't face any of the names at lightweight (not even domestically), and since then he has beaten a truly **** champ (and contender for the worst champ at the time in all divisions) and a poor mandatory opponent (which isn't his fault), since then he HAS ducked (at least temporarily) a challenge in the limited but hard hitting and resilient Maidana. the Malignaggi fight is a good test for Khan in that Paulie is slick, fast and also in possession of a good chin. however he is still a very much cherry picked opponent due to Paulie being completely featherfisted, and as such not a huge threat.
