    Khan has no idea what to do anymore. By the time he stopped sack chasing Pacquiao everybody with a name in the PBC was booked including his last chance at a money fight, Kell Brook. He is at a very dangerous crossroad in his career.

    1. He has money and family issues. (Prince Naseem anyone?)
    2. He has been grossly inactive over the past 3 years. (But people were dumping on Ward)
    3. He still has a bad chin and a predictable style that does not carry into your 30's. (Think of any fighter that was fast in their 30s, did you come up with a name? No, me neither.)
    4. He is now more desperate for money which exposes him to fights that will surely get him hurt.
    ( Think the tail end of JCC and Duran's career, in fact think Mike Tyson getting battered by bums for a couple of million. Sad ending.)

    He should at least entertain a few Rod Salka's for no to keep busy. Josesito Lopez just won a fight ,he's always up for a squabble.

    The last I heard was that he wanted to fight in November and was looking for "a big name". Basically, he has no-one lined up and he's still sitting by the phone praying that Pac or Floyd call.

    He's fugged,

    Hand is back in a brace.

    Basically he is shot and will look for a cash out at the end of the year.

    He is praying on Arum calling him and Pacquiao

    otherwise he'll beg Brook, Garcia or Thurman. Brook is still hungry for Khan and that would sell out.

    He is fortunate to have very good options...Knowing Khan he could easily mess all of them up lol!

    I don't get why he never chose to fight Brook, that fight coulda been bigger than Joshua/Klit.

    And he would have gotten the bigger share, like 60-65% too, that would have amounted to more than 15 million Euros possibly.

    No way that fight is bigger than AJ vs Wlad. You really are clueless! 90,000+ people in Wembley UK - the largest number ever in UK boxing history. He filled out Wembley no way on earth that is going to happen with Khan v Brooks. It would be sheffield or nothing.

    Ramadan is upon the Muslims any time soon. Nothing doing during that. Last interview i heard with Khan last week there were no names mentioned but he is looking to fight before the end of the year.

    Nah there was definitely a time where Brook vs Khan could have done 50,000+ in the UK. Not as big as AJ vs Klit but still a very big fight in it's own right.

    I think khan watched the fight last week and realised he fcuked up. Days after the fight he starts mentioning how maybe now is the right time to fight Kell Brook as it would be huge.

    He's probably trying to get away from Al Haymen. Khan has turned into a joke, but the Al deal has been a disaster. He signed with him when everybody pretty Much had to especially if you wanted to get anywhere near a Floyd fight. He did get near him, but Al let Mayweather fight Berto and Maidana twice instead.

    Moving into present day, Brook is Khans realistic money fight - a fight that has nothing to do with Al and doesn't need his involvement, yet Khan would have to pay him 20% or whatever the deal is...

    Khan is in a mess

    Saw this small ad posted in Ring Magazine:

    'Amir Khan, knockout for hire. Will travel for appointments but not to Sheffield...'

    I honestly thought it was Khans people who caused all the issues and stopped making fights but even with them gone he is still doing the same thing

    During Ramadan, it is forbidden for observers of the faith to have sex or masturbate. This is hands down Khan's toughest fight of his life. How on earth can this seasoned Skype wanker and veteran sex pest avoid jacking off for 30 days.

    I'm picking Skype wank session by KO after 7 days.

    If I was Keith Thurman I would take this fight. Easy money and still a good name for his resume.
