Comments Thread For: Khan: I'd Be 100-0 If I Cherry Picked Like Mayweather

[FeFist]

The thing is, I think what it takes to be great is when the odds generally favor, YOUR OPPONENT.

I can't remember the last time Mayweather was not favored to win a fight. He's always had some sort of advantage going in, whether it was lack of ability in his opponents, or they were just not themselves anymore.

I forgot, how does that person go on to become great/legendary when he was expected to win?

Don't get that confused with people trying to come up with theories of HOW his opponent could win, vs actually betting your house on that opponent to win because you felt he had some miracle up his sleeve.

What you think is incorrect. What you're essentially doing is making the measure of greatness more subjective than it should be. Your system would lower the bar for a fighter of mediocre talent e.g. Marcos Maidana.

Lmao...

Floyd would never lose to Prescott, danny or peterson..

Khan wouldn't beat Oscar, cotto, Canelo at 154, wouldnt beat manny at 147

Probably gets his poop pushed in by castillo at 135

Name anyone since 1998 that would be favored over him from 130-147

If I'm not mistaken, Vegas had Pac as the favorite in 2009 had they fought following Pac's destruction of Cotto.

Ok, there you go... It's like one guy, you maybe could have been the favorite.. My point still stands that there is virtually no one that can be a favorite over floyd, so he shouldnt be critized for always being the favorite.. That's not his fault, it's just how good he is..

WTF??? It's like you are saying Floyd would be better to you if he weren't as good as he is and thus wasn't favored in these fights. Is this correct?

I find that crazy but I will concede if Manny, Shane and ODH had fought Floyd when he called them out then maybe Floyd would be held in higher esteem by fans on NSB.

It's hard to blame Floyd for decisions made by other men. I'm sure when GGG's career is over you won't hold those that refused to fight against him.

[Bob Weaver]

floyd has cherry picked at times in his career it is undeniable. Brandon Rios, Robert Guerraro, Andre Berto etc have never been anywhere near money's level nevermind at the time when they fought. Moseley, Pacquiao, Cotto etc were past best..........but for Khan to call foul over cherry picking....what a ****!....he's cherrypicked his whole career by dancing around pillow fisted fighters and on the odd occasion he steps in with someone who can **** he's got ass handed to him......sole exception Maidana just because the ref helped hin.

[HURTFEELINGS]

WHO? COULD'VE WENT THROUGH FLOYDS RESUME UNDEFEATED? WHO?
Not Oscar, he lost to shane and pac, not pac, he lost to JMM, NAME SOMEONE ANYONE...

You are mistaken, as usual.

[TooEasy]

Khan according to your skill you can be reborn 10x and still wouldn't match the skill level of Floyd Mayweather Jr. You just need to shut up and fight Thurman and Brook. You know you will lose to them and that will screw your career up.
