    After his last performance I don't understand how anyone in their right mind could think that Khan is being ducked by the likes of Mayweather and Pacquiao.

    I just find all of this laughable really when you factor in that he is currently avoiding Brook. I don't dislike Khan but he should fight Brook, he hasn't achieved anything the likes of Garcia hasn't and you don't hear Garcia complaining.

    Khan made all of the wrong moves, I believe Mayweather would have beaten him but he went about it in the wrong way, after signing with Haymon Arum was always going to put the block on that fight as well.

    Now Khan is in a position where he either has to fight Garcia or Peterson to make some money or Brook to make a lot of money.

    Khan is fighting only once or twice a year, he hasn't been in a world title fight for about four years now and there is a title shot against Brook available to him.

    They can't. Only Gannicus thinks Khan is special.

    A lot of these guys seem to be trolls, the fanatical Khan fans like that one guy(KingKhan who had that meltdown??? may have the name wrong) are long gone. A few stragglers but they keep themselves in check for the most part.

    I guess nobody remembers last year before Mayweather-Maidana I when Khan was talking G all that sh!t and Maidana said screw Mayweather he'd rather face Khan with the winner getting the PBF fight only for Khan to duck out.

    That basically sums up Khan since 2011/12" a ducker begging for fight's unwilling to back it up.

    :yep still fresh in the memory that one

    Facts don't go down well with khanfanatics

    Thinking about it that was probably his best shot of landing the Floyd fight , but I think Marcos under garcia stops khan

    Yeah the thread claiming it is ridiculous. Completely deluded, absolutely nobody is ducking Khan.

    Bradley is a bigger name than Kahn in the states.

    Bradley vs Joe Blow or Khan vs Joe Blow, I guarantee you more people would watch Khan vs Joe!

    The Bradley fight has been done twice already, nobody is clamoring to see it again.:nut

    The fact that Khan is more recognizeable in the Eastern part of the world would get people in the Western part of the world talking and interested.

    Whilst Khan's speed would pose problems for any fighter, the fact of the matter is he has not done anything at WW to seperate him from the pack. Beating a bunch of light hitting LWWs is not the way to go about getting a big fight.

    Not sure if it is true or not, but i heard that the people at Showtime and HBO were not to keen on a Khan fight for Pac or Floyd due to Khan not really being that big in America. He was earning a name for himself over there a good while back, but after the Peterson and Garcia fights he really isn't as big as he seems to think he is.

    Amir Khan at this point is high risk low reward for Mayweather (he has to pay him more than Berto & worry about his reach & speed)

    The Berto fight went smooth, you have to pick a smooth#49 :think

    Agreed! Khan is to risky and he's not a PPV star, which is why both Mayweather and Pacquiao, two past prime fighters, stay clear out of a Khan matchup.

    Khan has the combination of height, reach, and speed that kills fathertime!

    Floyd as the height

    Timing beats speed

    Defence beats uncoordinated jittery no power combinations

    Khan ain't no where near as fast as he was fact

    And Floyd does enough charity work why the hell should he GIVE khan a donation

    Should have tried earning it instead of begging for it like a *****
