Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Details Background on Mayweather, Pacquiao Talks

[wlliam]

I sent Mayweather a KHANtract too.signed a piece of paper and told em to fill in the blanks. I called repeatedly...in essence, i also had "talks"...Mayweathers ducking me too, Khan.

This guy seriously annoys me. But I do think manny and Floyd didn't want a part of Khan. Do i think Khan would beat them? Absolutely not. Do i think the entitled crybaby deserves a shot. Absolutely not. Do i think Floyd or Manny were scared of Khan? Absolutely not. Do i think they ducked Khan? Probably.

Khan knows how to win rounds and would make it akward for both. The excuses from both camps are laughable. Manny claimed there were too many middleman(!) Floyd claimed the timing wasn't right(!). Just say it, as it is. Khan is a risky opponent who makes you look like ****. Before going to sleep. And if he doesn't go to sleep, there is a good chance he wins the match. His style just doesn't match well with many boxers. This includes Floyd and to some extent the current Manny.

Roach admitted himself that there were talks about Khan facing Cotto. And that he told Cotto not to do it (i am paraphracing here), because he doesn't think Khan's style is right for Cotto. I mean, hell. Cotto would have annihilated Khan. But Roach still felt that Khan wasn't right for Cotto. Besides being a great coach. Roach has also spent some time training Khan. So he must know what he's talking about.

He didn't get those fights because he did nothing to deserve them. Granted neither did Berto and some others but maybe Khan shouldn't have been yappin his mouth so much. He's an easy guy not to like. Im not sure why this guy thinks he's the best boxer in the world. Oh yeah, cause he has "speed". That's about the only truthful thing this guy ever says. He is pretty good at the chicken dance though.....

King Khon does not seem to realise it was largely his own fault he did not get those fights as he had done NOTHING to deserve them except run his mouth off.

So who is Khan's promoter now? No way he is still a Haymon fighter if he got this fight with Golden Boy's cash cow.

Mayflower totally played Khan, knowing his flapping mouth would provide endless free publicity. Amir's entertaining but dumber than a bag of hammers. He should have shut his mouth but that ego of his makes all the decisions.
