    Notice how Khan's fanboys keep going on about his speed and reach, and not his technical skills.

    you can't really blame khan for being vocal in wanting a floyd fight.

    khan after all was leading in a poll commissioned by floyd on who he was going to fight next before he chose maidana.

    Floyd

    Khan has much better wins than Berto, Maidna,Gurrerro and Ortiz combined yet they get a crack and he doesn't :huh

    And then there was the public poll Floyd put up where Khan got the overwhelming votes ..

    Nobody is to blame. It's the way the wind blows.

    Khan needs to stop messing around waiting on Floyd though.

    Floyd doesn't want to fight Khan, he won't fight him. Floyd probably views Khan as slightly too high of a risk (not saying that Khan is a MAJOR THREAT, but he's probably a higher risk than Floyd feels is comfortable).

    Khan should blame that piece of glass he calls a chin.

    It's not often that I wholeheartedly agree with you MVC, but you are spot-on in this case.

    Khan and his joke troupe of "Advisors" have blown it big time.

    They tried to circumvent all credible 147 opposition and yet had the temerity to demand that they get the Floyd fight!! It was an abject display of arrogance and cowardice!!

    The Berto fight is a joke, but I really don't care. just as long as Khan didn't ooze his way to an undeserved fight with Mayweather.

    The Algieri fight was the final straw (Amir had to brutally ko Chris to have half a chance of securing the fight..but ended up looking poor).

    It will be interesting to see if "Team Khan" now go cap in hand to Brook, because that is now his biggest possible pay-day (and Amir could win that fight) or if he just allows his career to fizzle out by fighting low grade gate-keepers/contenders whilst proclaiming that all the very best welterweights are avoiding him.

    Khan won Floyd's poll!!:lol:

    I wonder how many people Amir had to pay to constantly vote for him to win that??

    Floyd probably only posted a poll to troll the fcuk out of Amir and his obsessive fanboys!

    There are several far more deserving fighters than Khan. Everybody knows this.

    Right because the boxing world really wanted to see Mayweather vs Maidana the plodder not once but twice a guy who Khan beat ! Flow mos just justifying another cherry pick in Berto over a guy who at least has some decent wins ...Nothing new here !

    I think it's a different reason. A devout Muslim like Khan will be hard to sell to a largely bigoted American public. Especially so close to 9/11, you'd have hillbillies in Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, and the like calling for a boycott.

    A flamboyant black man vs. a Muslim is hardly ideal for a successful promotion.

    Khan would UD Pacman easier than Floyd and without the holding and running.. Just like Khan beat Zab and Maidana easier than Floyd..

    Floyd and his family know Khan is too fast and young for him, is best to fight bum Berto and keep that 0 intact.. Lol
