Khan signs on to fight Floyd

[smashup]

Remember when Khan said he had mastered the 4 rounder and figured he could beat Mayweather in a four round fight?

Things have come full circle...sort of...unfortunately.

Hahaha
I remember him saying that years ago.

I cant help thinking Floyd will swerve him and go the Maidana route.... another plodder who he defuses early then bores us ..... again.


Of course Floyd beats Khan 8-9/10 times but I have a gut feeling Khan can do him

Lmfao some of u lost your minds. This thread it nutty lol

Good luck to Amir Khan in getting this pay day and his management will be best advised to rap him cotton wool.

Ideally he would have another fight against a better welterweight like Paulie, Broner Maidana or Brooks but he is too vulnerable.

Yes he has the style, reach. height and speed to cause Floyd some problems but not to actually beat him.

Do not get delusional over this fight and keep it real.

Its hard to fathom just how delusional this guy is. He acts as if he's the star and calls out Floyd as if its him that originated something. I'd laugh my ass off if Floyd changed his mind. Khans also in the press calling out Manny if he cant get Floyd. And people say Broner has his head up his own ass.

I think Khan/his people have realized he hasn't got much longer to make the big paydays. If he can't get Floyd or Manny, he'll never make as much, no matter how many times he fights, who trains him, what have you. On top of that, there's a good chance he's on the decline, and could easily lose to just about anyone that would be seen as a legitimate path to Floyd imo. Why else has he done dick all since losing to Garcia, he couldn't have been terribly invested in becoming a better fighter or proving anything. Can't blame Khan for wanting to cash out I guess, I'm just surprised how many people see this as a good fight.

Since losing to Garica he changed trainers, which meant he had to set up shop in a different part of the world, and had two comeback fights. He was then all set for Alexander last December, which would have been his next "big" title fight.

He then became the front runner for Floyd so was pulled out of that fight. No fighter on earth can make more than they will as a Floyd opponent. So who would have done different? Nobody. Khan and Floyd are basically both promoted by Golden Boy, so it's not like they don't know what's going on behind the scenes.

Khan's the last person that can be accused of lacking ambition. It's not his fault Floyd picked him.

He was opening a Gym in Dubai. The press asked about the Mayweather fight, he said - "I've signed the contract, we are waiting on Floyd."

He was then asked if he'd consider a Pacquiao fight in Dubai, he said - "Yes, it's a business, we're friends, we respect each other but I'd definitely consider the fight. I'm sure he would as well, he has a big following here."

How is that being delusional or even remotely disrespectful? He wasn't "calling Pac out," that's just the moronic headline the pathetic boxing sites put on it. Content. Context. Source.

Mayweather wins this and I wouldn't be surprised to see him get the stoppage considering how bad Khan's chin is. Khan will be competative for 5 rounds, but he won't last 12 with Floyd IMO.
