I think Mayweather was just tweaking Khan, and Khan relishes the attention. I don't think either of them care much about the words being thrown back and forth. Obviously Khan thinks he can win and he wants the huge payday. Not necessarily in that order... But people need to shut the fuck up about Floyd and Pac fighting anybody that isn't each other after they win their next fight. Fuck Khan for now. He should fight Ortiz after Mayweather beats him. THAT'S a good match up.

Come on, take ya fuckin dick outta Floyds arse and start speaking some truths! Tell me about it. Here is hype and now this guy saying that Mayweather sees Khan as irrelevant, even though Mayweather has mentioned Khan numerous times, and even mentioned a fight in the UK. Yep, he sounds real irrelevant, haha. Really unbelievable (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) |

No no stick with 'near perfect physique' it's catchier, sounds funnier and has more commercial appeal, like you hear in infomercials. "A near perfect physique in less than 5 minutes a day or your money back!" Also leaves a little room to bring out a new product 12 months later, "the perfect physique." In order for that to happen I would actually have to waste my time watching infomericals. I workout either in a gym or on a track. And again I never said I had a perfect build, I have a good one, everyone needs room for improvement, yes, including myself. I think Khan wants to fight May just like everyone else. MJ already has his hands full with Ortiz and hopefully the fight everyone wants to see (for the sheer hype. Pac despite his speed can not keep up with MJ's skill and style of boxing). |

As long as motor-mouth Mayweather and bigheaded Pacquiao keep fighting other fighters...people will keep complaining, lose sleep, continue to hang on to every word about these two, watch every fight, and get taken down $60 at a time until these guys fight. They are making as much money as they can off of fighting others, purely off of the hype, and viewers are not going to miss a beat. Besides, they both know that their isn't any greater amount of money out there, other than the money they will make off of each other. Those that keep saying that aren't gonna watch their fights and blah, blah, blah...yeah right. Those same people are making party plans, saving up the money to buy the fights, and waiting to set the freakin' DVR, smh.
If Khan can keep Mayweather's name out of his mouth for one minute and focus on building his name (as he is doing now), then he will get what he's asking for sooner or later. |

Why? Floyd didn't fight any legitimate 154 pounders before going for Oscar. Hops didn't fight any legitimate 175 pounders before going for Tarver. And so on and so forth. Huh? Are you insinuating that Khan is currently at the stage at which Floyd was in his career when he fought Oscar? Or the stage BHop was at when he fought Tarver? If so, your arguments can't be taken seriously by most. Otherwise please explain your logic. To me, all the trash talking and contradictory noises that Khan has been making this past several weeks just makes him a clown. P34c3 |

Thats true, I cant knock anybody for going after the money...but at least be somewhat worthy of doing so. I have no problem with any of these guys calling out the big names, but we all know that those big fights take forever to build, and nobody wants to pay $50-$65 for a big star to fight a relatively unknown fighter...or a fighter thats not as seasoned. Its nothing wrong with them calling out big names, to at least plant the idea in the heads of the fans, but to me, it's like being on the job and requesting a raise or a promotion. When you request such a thing, your whole employment performance history will be reviewed and it may take a while. Just because you pose this request to your boss, and he says, "It doesn't sound bad, I will look into it", it doesn't necessarily guarantee anything. Ortiz was just that lucky bastard on the job that got that promotion, that somebody else was worthy of. He screwed up bad in the past by losing to Maidana on a nite that was supposed to shoot him to stardom...then to add insult to injury, he quit. He walked a fine line for fans to trust him again, then he did the right thing at the right time by beating Berto...an undefeated fighter could've been a step closer to fighting Floyd (whether Floyd wants to admit that or not). Khan is on the right path to Mayweather...he's just one of those guys on the job that does what he needs to do to get the job done, he doesn't complain, and he plays his part. He may be closer to fighting Mayweather, than any of these other losers, but maybe Im trying to say that he just needs to cool his jets and accept the fact that his challenge was heard by Mayweather and the world, so he needs to continue playing his part until his time comes. Besides, what will he do if Mayweather decides to just take another vacation after next month and doesn't return until '13? We all know that this shit is possible. Lol! +1. P34c3 |

He was under contract with Gary Shaw, Shaw wanted to make the fight. Bradley wanted to sit the remainder of his contract out. what did i miss? please enlighten me because you obviously know something i don't(not trying to be disrespectful). Bradley doesnt draw and isn't known by the public. what happened the last time Pac fought a guy like that? Clottey and him sold 700k PPVs, Manny is 1mill PPV fighter now. All Bradley has is that 0 imo, without it he becomes obsolete. this is my reasoning of why he decided to sit his contract out(maybe im wrong) There is this one aspect of the Bradley contract story that appears to have been overlooked by most commentators: Bradley's contract with his joint promoters was to expire in July, IIR the month correctly. The intention on all sides was for the Khan fight to be made before the end of that month, and Bradley was apparently fully committed to it. Somehow things dragged on with the promoters such that at the last minute the promoters agreed for the fight to happen during the following month (August.) Bradley then simply refused to go ahead with the fight, ostensibly on the grounds that it would have tied him to an extension of his existing contract with Shaw+. The rest is history. Arum's "carrot" as reported by FH (among others, I think) must have added to/encouraged Bradley's hard stance though. P34c3 |

P34c3 The date was always July 23rd(HBO date), his contract was to expire in June and he didn't want an extension with Shaw. Bradley was looking to cash out, and needed his 0 to secure a fight with Pac or another Arum fighter to eventually get Pac. He had a good feeling he was going to lose to Khan imo and knew he would never get that fight with an L to Khan.

If you really want I'll go and find some fighters who moved up a division to win titles without having fought in that division first. It's reasonably common. Victor Ortiz against Berto is one that immediately springs to mind. You would think that because Floyd's nut are constantly in your mouth. |
