Why is Khan delusional?

Khan has been pampered, throughout his career, and dined out for too long on reasonable but not great wins. His losses could be interpreted as cherry-picks gone wrong.

Of late, his mouth has been writing checks, for which he has no collateral, as back-up. His record at 147 does not stand up as a prerequisite for any kind of serious consideration in what was his campaign to get Mayweather in the ring - and, most recently, Pacquiao.

Wins over Collazo and Alexander do not automatically buy you a shot at Mayweather; no more than making hard work of Algieri (an opponent Manny owned) earns you a shot at Pacquiao. And yet, Khan has acted as though he's absolutely entitled to both of these fights.

He has a domestic rival and top-class operator in Kell Brook, which would bring him as much, if not more, kudos as either of those fights, anyway. Khan won't fight him. There is a wealth of other talent at 147. Khan has made (as yet) no positive suggestion that he will be looking to match any of the other top talent at 147. What's more is that he makes out no one wants to fight him, i.e. blames others for his lack of tact and losing out on the chances he might have had, because of his big mouth.

There are a myriad of reasons one might deem Khan as delusional but the summary term would be that 'he believes his own hype', which he so obviously demonstrates almost every time he passes comment on anything.

 

We are the black tar in his heart
He sees, what we want him to see
As we tear his mind apart

I agree. With the exception of The Special One, he is the most deserving and most likely to shatter Pacquiao's glass chin

 

Because he is desperate and has resorted to begging.
