Taken in isolation Chaves is a reasonable opponent. But after Brook's last 2 defences, I'd prefer to see a good opponent rather than a reasonable onebigjack wrote:mike john wrote:khan absolutely deserves criticism over his recent carryings-on, but i dread to think about how bad a kicking you lot would give him if his last 3 opponents were jojo dan, frankie gavin, and diego chaves
Jo jo Dan was the mandatory,so had no choice,Gavin,yes that was a poor choice,but Chaves,i think that's reasonable to be honest
The difference is, Brook, whilst not exactly fighting a who's who of welterweights in the last year, has recovered from a career threatening injury, and has fought whoever has been put in front of him. You think he wouldn't want to fight the likes of Mayweather? He'd love it just as much as Khan would but you don't hear him bleating on about it. What you do hear is him desperate for the chance to face Amir Khan as he genuinely believes he wins. Khan comes out with bullshit about Brook 'not proving himself', even though he's a legitimate world champion, because he doesn't want to face him.Boxerbeetle wrote:Taken in isolation Chaves is a reasonable opponent.

Which is wise when you have china chops.Taansend wrote:I like Khan but, like David Haye, he likes to talk about fighting more than fighting.
Kell Brook doesn't get as much criticism as Khan because he doesn't shoot off his mouth as much.mike john wrote:khan absolutely deserves criticism over his recent carryings-on, but i dread to think about how bad a kicking you lot would give him if his last 3 opponents were jojo dan, frankie gavin, and diego chaves

To an extent, I agree, but I wonder how much of this comes from Khan being more in the public eye and so being interviewed / questioned about future opponents more often? Can make it seem like he's blowing his own trumpet when, in reality, he just has more visibility in doing it.Syntax Error wrote:

Maidana for me.
Khan looks like a fighter looking for a pension fight.
Love him or loathe him he's given us some good nights.
I could understand fighters not necessarily being motivated by belts these days. With Khan, i think it's more that he's not interested in the challenge of proving himself to be the best, it's purely money.Batley18 wrote:I love watching Khan, I would put him in my top 5 fighters to watch, but his actions are costing him at the moment. He needs to concentrate on a belt rather than concentrating on fighting Mayweather or Pacquiao. He is going to look back on his career with regret if he doesn't start focusing. It is obvious that the belts don't motivate, but purely money.
