    If Amir was silly enough to challenge Canelo at middle and feels he was winning until being crushed, would he have challenged Marvin in the 80`s sighting that Leonard started at welter?!

    When a fighter takes the easier option he’s a coward. When he takes on far bigger challenges he’s deluded. He may have been deluded enough to take that fight but at least he’d have the bottle to do it

    Khan has took the easy option 99% of his career.

    I don't know about deluded enough but he's stupid enough that's for sure. We're talking about a guy who couldn't pick out Australia on a map, while he was in Australia!

    This. Khan is crazy and delusional enough to challenge anybody if the money is right.

    Khan would have taken the fight yes, no reason to think Khan would not have lasted as long as Hearns did, as long as a Hagler bomb did not meet a Khan mandible early on.

    Not a mandatory

    Hagler was one of the greatest middles of all time!

    It wouldn`t have been a mandatory, because Khan could never be a middleweight champ so wouldn`t be the champ in this situation, I meant if Khan had fought in the 80`s would he move up to fight for Hagler`s title, Mugabi moved up from light middle and lost to Marvin and Leonard came out of retirement to beat Hagler after being a welter champ and also a light middle champ, but Khan has never evn won a light middle title, he`s never even fought at that weight and Mugabi wouuld have knocked Khan out in a round, Leonard also would have hit far too hard for Khan at welter.

    In all the different outcomes that Dr. Strange has looked at, there seems to be only one man that Amir Khan refuses to give the superstar rub to. That man is Kell Brook.

    He'd take the Hagler fight yesterday.

    I don’t see why not, does it matter who he faces he only takes one shot and it’s done anyway, isn’t that how it goes when he’s over matched?
