    More classic Khan. He's now got his knickers in a twist because he's realised Manny Pacquiao has been giving him the run around.

    He then reels off a list of names he'd rather fight than Brook although he does at least acknowledge Kell as an option in his latest rant.

    Thoughts on him versus Bradley or Garcia? Those are the fights he's apparently targeting. I'm betting he'll go for Bradley due to his lack of power.

    Kell Brook would fight him, thats the fight he should be targeting as its a world title fight and the biggest purse of his career, there is no point complaining until he has fought Brook, after that the other options he is talking about will come.

    Brook doesn't deserve to fight Khan regardless of whether he has an title. Khan definately needs to fight Danny Garcia before landing anything close to a Mayweather/ Pacman fight.

    Amir is a bit too similar to Haye in how he feels he can be remarkably inactive, yet pick and choose fights as he sees fit. The reality is he has not earned the right to do so.

    Also, and this isn't his fault, I find him devoid of charisma in his interviews which doesn't help my perception of him as a blustering insecure Brummie yob.

    Yeah he'll fight anyone...unless that person is kell brook, Keith Thurman, manny pacquiao if he takes longer than 3 minutes to sign a contract, briedis Prescott rematch or any puncher at 147. He only fought maidana because he was forced to by golden boy.

    Amir khan is the biggest joke in boxing.

    Brook has been wanting to fight him for a while now and didn't he side step an eliminator fight against Bradley earlier this year. He could have also fought Broner instead of Algieri which was a fight more people were interested in but once again Khan tries to go down a seemingly easier path. Every time he opens his mouth Khan just comes off like a fool.

    Khan is now actually running out of room to evade the bigger challenges for the lesser monies. He saw matches with Mayweather and Pacquiao as big paydays against a couple of 'seniors'. (He might have even truly thought he could win these fights but...)

    His best and most likely bet will be on a rematch with Garcia. Khan might actually believe he can win that one. In any event, I suspect his days as being recognised as a top-flight Boxer are numbered.

    Had he beat Danny Garcia and not struggled with Algieri then maybe he would of got a big fight but he didn't.

    Khan can pride himself for driving both Pac and Floyd into retirement. They both ducked him.
