    Nah Khan was quality against Collazo and Alexander - two very credible opponents no matter what a lot of people on here would hav you believe.

    Collazo wasn't quality. He was old, and a recovering alcoholic.

    no he wasn't, he only started looking good vs Collazo when Luis started clowning Khan and dropping his hands, ultimately paying for it with 3 KD's

    against Alexander he looked good, but not great, his next fight with Algieri, also didn't look good

    Ameer best stop posting on Twitter and start training harder

    Floyd by virtue of Floyd fighting who Floyd wants to fight.

    Though "blame" is a strong word, since I dont really find fault in Floyd not fighting Khan.

    Khan's personality. He's prob the dumbest/most annoying boxer out there today. His comments are child-like and he boasts about how he's this great boxer when he's been knocked the fk out twice.

    Khan won Floyd's POLL!
    Floyd's to blame, if you fight Guerrero and Maidana then Khan is good enough of an opponent too.

    I've got no sympathy for Khan. His entitlist demeanor comes off as whiney and petchulant.

    He is a good welterweight though and Khan beat him easy. I don't really buy into the other stuff. He was 33 when Khan fought him, hardly ancient.

    Thurman didn't look great against him.

    Khan isn't getting Mayweather so he needs to get on with it now and start fighting the other top welters.

    i actually think The biggest downfall for Khan was the fallout of Oscar and Schaffer . I always thought that Schaffer did a good job with Khan, when Oscar was on his sabbatical.

    I haven't really seen an upside with haymon/Khan relationship. Khan didn't even want the Chris A fight. He wanted Broner or Cotto when the floyd/pac fight was signed.

    Khan didn't get the fight because Floyd didn't want to fight him. I would far prefer Khan to Berto and if you're just talking resume and current form, Khan has certainly done enough to warrant the fight by Floyd's standards. He could have done "more" (like fight Brook) but he's done enough. But the fact is, Floyd has the power to pick and choose as he wishes and he apparently wants a ridiculously easy fight versus just an easy fight.

    Just an easy fight? So, you think Floyd would beat Khan?

    Floyd picks who he fights. Floyd is to blame.

    Khan for firstly failing to clean up at 140 lbs.

    Secondly refusing to face dangerous opponents at 147.
