    LOL @ Thurman beating Floyd.

    Floyd would embarrass Thurman and Porter. If Brook could outbox Porter, then surely Floyd could.

    No!

    You don't get it! He has to avenge his losses, because that's what winners do! I made the point yesterday, Mayweather avenges his close WINS.

    What would Ali Be if he never fought Frazier after 1?

    What would Leonard Be if he never fought Duran in New Orleans?

    If Marciano never fought Walcott again, people would have thought it was a fluke.

    What if There was never Louis-Schmelling II

    What if Paquiao and Marquez stopped after the first?

    Marvin Hagler rematched Sugar Ray Seals, Willie Monroe AND Bobby Watts before he EVER GOT A TITLE SHOT. He wasn't making any money, he did it out of pride.

    Hell, even Broner BEGGED Maidna for a rematch.

    That's why.

    Exactly. To Floyd's credit, he gave both Castillo and Maidana immediate rematches, and removed all doubt in the second fights.

    You think Berto deserves the fight then? He doesn't have to avenge his losses does he?

    Khan could avenge his loss to Garcia. Floyd still wouldn't fight him.

    What do not get Prescott has done nothing since he battered khan. Peterson failed the drugs test for the REMATCH, not Amir, hence no chance of redemption and Garcia so far, quite rightly has turned down rematch offerings.

    KHAN CAN'T GET A REMATCH IF THEY WON'T FACE HIM. Is that hard to understand or is hating on Khan the popular and easy path to take.

    agree with this.... you can't hate khan for that.....the peterson rematch fell through when peterson was on PEDs.....garica and his team dad didn't want to give khan a rematch....now at 147 they are saying maybe.....so im fine with khan v garica 2....

    rematching prescott makes 0 sense. prescott is no where in the picture, he is not in the scene anymore.....

    khan vs garcia
    khan vs thurman
    khan vs bradley
    khan vs porter

    im ok with any of these for december

    Fights with Thurman or Garcia would do a great deal and prove a lot imo.

    No, you misunderstand me, Khan is more qualified to fight Mayweather than Berto. Porter is more qualified than Khan, Brook is more qualified than Porter, Thurman is more qualified than Brook, so A Mere as NO reason to complain!

    Nope! he needs to fight Prescott just to set the record straight, then come out to the press and make a big show of offering Garcia and Peterson rematches. If they say no, so be it. He still needs to fight a big name not Collazo, or Algeri, those guys are the same as Prescott. Brook would do just fine.

    Again, Marvin Hagler had 3 losses and 2 draws:

    11/73 he had a draw with Sugar Ray Seales. 2/79 knocked him out in the first round. Keep in mind, he had already beaten Seals UD, 3 months before the ist fight.

    1/76 he lost a majority decision to Boogalo Watts. 4/80 he knocked him out in the 2nd round.

    3/76 he lost a decision to Willie Monroe (you know who's uncle)2/77 knocked him out in the 12th round. 8/77 knocked him out in the 2nd round.

    11/79 draw with Vito Antruofermo. 6/81 koed him in the 11th round.

    4/87 lost SD to Sugar Ray Leonard. Didn't want a rematch, wasn't going to insult us by fighting anyone else.

    Marvin left no doubt he was a champion.

    When they ACTUALLY fought the only one being wiped across the floor was Khant. Garcia battered him from pillar to post.

    Also, saying 'as long as Khan aint stupid' is like saying 'as long as Khan aint Khan'. If he wasn't stupid, had a chin and power then he might well beat Garcia, but the same could be said about anyone!

    Did you actually watch the fight ?
    Garcia obviously won the fight by tko but lost all the other rounds apart from the 2 that he tagged Khan in

    Yeah nice jokes about him being a mere con yet Floyd is sooooo scared of him that he's ducking him haha. Why Floyd ducking him if he's a con? Haha

    Amir king khan will rule boxing once Floyd 'cherry picker' Mayweather retires

    Yeah 'all those other rounds'...you mean the other two. :lol:

    What good is winning two rounds if the following two you get beaten to a pulp?
