Khan things Floyd was lucky not to be disqualified.......

[Spicoli]

Khans being silly. Floyd was a cheap asshole but a legal cheap asshole. Ortiz broke a rule and got docked for it. Khans just throwing gas on it. One thing I've wondered though is if Mayweather stepped on his foot too.

This is the first time Khan has said something sensible. I commend the lad and would now sucker punch him only the one time.

unbelievable.....

BBC Sport - Amir Khan surprised by Floyd Mayweather let-off

Especially considering that in Khan's interview with The Ring, he
defended what Mayweather did:

“You’ve got adrenaline pumping in the body and every fighter, when in the boxing ring, must always defend himself,” said the 24-year-old from
Bolton, England. “You are there to
fight. What Mayweather did in there was right, in my opinion. The ref did say, ’box on’.

controversial win | RingTV

Yes - he said one thing after the fight on the day and now he's saying this - and making himself look a bigger idiot than he has to. (Shite Cortez who seems to be going
under the "blame" radar said "let's go" thus NO DQ for me although morally not right maybe and can understand all the anger) If khan wants to call out Floyd then call him out without making himself look a tit in the process! Oh why do I dislike
khan so much- don't even know
why myself!

hey guys come on get behind one of our few British champions! Once Froch retires (soon) its going to be him and a few lesser known entities left, and his speed gives him 'some' chance against an ageing Mayweather even though I agree Floyd is the hot favourite until at least 2013.

tbh I think both Khans statements are valid - even though they appear contradictory, that doesnt mean that both views can't be held simutaneously.


Dont let that Northwest accent put you off!

If I was Floyd, I would have reacted the same way. He made weight, promoted the fight, made all those gimmicks on 24/7, had 50 Cent carry his belts, and trained so damn hard for the fight just to get headbutted three times in four rounds and get completely disrespected by some "too young" punk fighter. Justice served cold.

in some ways he has a point

i dont think there should have been a disqualification but fighters do get disqualified for that kind of stuff, and therefore he was lucky

he would also have been unlucky if he had have been disqualified

and as amir points out, it was flotd mayweather so he would never have been disqualified where as other "lesser" fighters may have

get me?

A perfect example of that is the Judah fight. Floyd should have been DQ'd the moment Roger jumped in the ring and started a brawl.

Judah could easily have been disqualified for his two blatantly illegal cheap shots before Roger entered the ring though, all a ref should need to DQ a fighter instantly right there imo.

I wonder if Victor had done that Floyd what Cortez would have done?

It's a fair question.

I have no doubt whatsoever that had a no name opponent such as Zbik against Chavez, or Gomez against Canelo had pulled that, they would have been DQ'd immediately.

It is a fair question and for once in his life Khan has made a sensible observation. If it was anyone else except Mayweather and Cortez we would have seen a disqualification.

Didn't anyone post that clip where Cortez can clearly be heard saying "fight on"? It's not loud and he is looking off at god knows what, but he did say it. Not to mention that any other ref would have been a lot more clear in stepping in to break and resume the action(although I'd bet Ortiz still would've been trying to kiss and make up) so it's a moot point. As for the notion of it being the other way around, Floyd wouldn't be where he is if he flagrantly headbutted people then fail to defend himself, try and make out with his opponent or look to the ref for help afterwards. I was pissed off at the time to, but Floyd just put a clueless mental midget in his place for getting dirty end of story.
