    The problem is margo isn't a stylistic threat dummy. Margo is the exact same style that his haters love to say he only fights. Slow come forward mexicans but since pbf didn't fight margo he was scared of him and margo would have destroyed him right? Had pbf fought him he wouldn't have gotten an ounce of credit and margo would be labeled a bum I already know how you irrational haters operate.

    Ok. All he did was get his ****ing ass stopped by both. The Prescott one was particularly hilarious. And I'm the moron lol.

    So what? It was years ago and what the hell did Prescott go on to achieve? Oh yea, **** all.

    There is nothing hilarious about seeing someone potentially seriously hurt either.

    Khan never really deserved the fight so you can't really say he ducked him but he did choose to fight opponents he thought would be easier.

    No
    Nothing like khan ducking Murray , thaxton ,Romanov,brook
    If he was made to prove himself at British level at his real weight he would never have got to world level

    Khan had recently been sparked against Garcia and outboxed against Peterson.

    Since then he avoided big fights in the belief he'd been guaranteed a Floyd fight.

    He looked good against Alexander and brave against Canelo but aside from that he's nothing to even remain relevant imo.

    I'm interested in the Brook fight because it's a domestic dust up but other than that Khan should earn his big fights.

    That's exactly the point. Prescott went on to do **** all but still managed to knock delusional Khan into tomorrow. Khan and his fans live in this delusional universe where they vastly overrated him and believe he can dictate terms to far more credible fighters. And no one likes seeing a fighter seriously hurt, but the whole Bambi leg routine was hilarious in the same vein as Judah's chicken dance against Tszyu.

    I would be astonished if Khan ever got into the ring against Brook.

    I wouldn't be surprised if he fought him in his last fight before retirement as one final payday.
