    This is another case of Amir talking without thinking, I look at him sometime's and get the feeling that the wheel's still turning but the hamster is dead, He's got the brain's of a rocking horse that boy

    This is exactly what David Haye did for many years chasing the Klits and I don't recall people questioning his intelligence, in fact it worked hugely in his favour as when the fight happened it broke records

    In my opinion Khan is being very smart here, the longer the tension can simmer and talk about him and the potential Mayweather match up is in the press the better numbers his fights will do and the bigger the Mayweather fight will become. Mark my words if he does fight Mayweather next year it will make the Haye/Wlad numbers look like chicken feed!

    Exactly, this is an intelligent ploy to attract attention towards a mega fight next year. Floyd's in the news with his upcoming fight with Ortiz so what better time to draw attention to the mega bout next year.

    Yeah but to say Mayweather's running from him, Any Fan with half a brain cell knows that's complete bollocks, he just make's himself look like an idiot, He hasn't got Haye's intelligence or spitefulness to come across serious. I can't fault him for trying or the reason's why but it's not working

    This fight will selll VERY VERY well. The British public will happily part with their hard earned cash to watch Khan get wiped out again.

    SIMPLE AS THAT!

    He's being a dick, a fight between two assholes will not sell well. He either needs to play the cocky ****, or the good guy, since Floyd plays a better cocky ****, he needs to act like he's the good old brit contender wanting the gold.

    Bloody hell, Amir. At least give Floyd a chance to duck you before accusing him of it. You need to promote the fight, yes, but surely there are ways to do it without sounding as deluded as you are? Mind you, the casual fans in the UK that will be listening to your statements, won't know any better. If you tell them Floyd is ducking you, then that's what they'll believe.
