    Why does everyone want to fight Khan if he doesnt have a belt? Crawford, Brook, Danny Garcia, Manny Pacquiao, Broner wanted him at one time. Why doesnt anyone call out Thurman, Porter, obviously Spence is avoided.

    Good name to have on your record, decent money. Likely KO

    Khan was considered a top fighter before he started picking up losses, his hand speed is amazing and I think this impressed fans back in the day who can`t get through their heads now that he has been exposed as a flawed talent, people stay stuck in the past for some reason, first impressions last.

    The answer is extremely simple.

    He's a big payday and an easy win.

    He is a bigger draw than Wilder and Fury

    Decent payday, recognisable name, guaranteed a highlight reel KO even if you're not that big a puncher.

    Good money and looks great in the highlights reel. People know they have great chance of knocking khan out.

    Khan is an easy sell and a KO waiting to happen. Crawford wanted to fight Garcia but Haymon and daddy won't let him. Looking at the non-Haymon options at welter, Khan is probably the biggest name.

    He has an irresistible risk/reward ratio.

    This. Despite Khan being on the downside of his career he’s more of an established name than Thurman, Porter, or Spence as far as the public is concerned.
