    Seriously, don't bother with that ****. You'll never win that hater over. He talks so much **** out of his mouth.

    Nah. All the talk has been of Khan fighting Maidana. Plus, correct me if Im wrong, but he is Khan's mandatory as well, no? If he is willing to take the challenge, then I see no issue. He was only stating his desired road, I don't put much into it. And certainly take nothing negative out of it.

    Khan has alot of option

    - Zab Judah
    - Timothy Bradley
    - Victor Ortiz
    - Juan Manuel Marquez
    - Devon Alexander
    - Marcos Maidana

    Those are all decent fights and he is the biggest payday for all these fighters. Its rare to see someone who has so many options.

    Think it has something to do with Maidana's back injury..

    So another money making sham against a can with a low KO%? And I'm meant to be happy about that? When only LAST NIGHT, he said Maidana was NEXT.

    Do you understand what "NEXT" means?

    Are you happy for a so called champion and elite fighter taking tune up bouts?

    Isn't he just saying what makes the most sense and what every fan would love to see.

    Talk about having to state the obvious.

    Well Khan v Maidaina and Bradley v Alexander would be two great match ups and great for boxing. With the winners fighting each other. Nothing wrong with this at all.

    Some ppl will always moan.

    Shut up you desperate hater. He wants to fight in England next, for his fans. Nobody says you have to watch it. And no I don't have a problem with him taking a tune up bout, or whatever you want to call it. It's good to see him active.

    I really don't see how you can talk about any fighter with that **** in your avatar.

    I'm not even an Amir fan but surely hold back the criticsm until you actually hear of a July fight being made with an opponent not called Maidana.

    You must be miserable in your own skin to go to this extreme over a message board post. But aside from that, you don't speak for everyone, because I'd much rather see Khan fight someone that has the speed to match him, which Maidana doesn't have. IMO, it's a 3-way race for the top dog at 140, not four. If you call that hating then you're an oversensitive baby.
    Khan brought the Maidana controversy on himself by paying him to go away. Now, knowing there are two guys out there much better than Khan, he's calling for Maidana. But he doesn't stop there, he goes on to demand that the other two guys fight each other. Thereby removing one of the obstacles to unification. He knows both would be a tough out for himself, so he tries to get one of them out of the way without him having to do it.
    Khan, or should I say Con, is just that kind of fighter. He's going to make a lot of money from his fans (marks) while always looking for the path of least resistence.

    Sounds reasonable to me, he wants to fight in UK next an the Maidana fight is prob gonna be in the US i would presume so. And its not like his is wasting loadsa time, if he does fight in June or July i think it is, its a short turn around from the fight yesterday.

    So yea i would be happy with that. If you not happy, don't watch it. Simples.

    If he fights in July, it almost certainly won't be Maidana. It's a big fight, and just from a promotional perspective it wouldn't make sense to have it that quick. If he hasn't fought Maidana by the end of the year, then you can criticise.

    Some of you must have been watching boxing for 5 minutes to still be so naive about the business side of the sport.

    For his fans? :lol::lol::lol:

    I'm guessing it will be nice and cheap then and on terrestrial TV again, unless Sky Box Office are actually interested this time.

    Now is the time to kick on and fight one of the big guns. Look at those guys like Bradley and Alexander! Those are the fighters who deserve admiration. Those fighters would never dream of fighting a "tune up". Khan is the WBA champ, time to act like one, man up, and face your mandatory.

    Exactly, and it's pretty clear for any neutral fan like myself to see.

    I don't like ducking frauds, I like warriors, some people on here don't share the same views as me.
