Floyd Repeatedly DUCKED Khan~

[uptconnect]

Didn't Amir make the announcement that he landed the Floyd fight a year or two or 3 ago, only to be chastised and punished for it, by losing the fight?
Seems I remember both sides temporarily coming to terms, and Amir jumping the gun and stealing Floyd's thunder by making the social media announcement, which angered Floyd and then resulted in his going another direction...

Am I remembering wrong, or was that just conjecture and rumor?
I definitely remember the Floyd Vs Amir thread train was in full swing around here for a while- wasn't that following Amir's announcement?

At any rate, if I were to personally challenge Floyd to fight me, and not get the fight, that wouldn't be a duck.
Point is, neither was it a duck every time Floyd didn't fight someone.

urm are we going to forget that Floyd asked us to choose between Khan and Maidana on his TMT website.

We chose Khan but he went with a Khan victim called Maidana citing a random reason for that....

Khan doesn't have the ring IQ to compete against Floyd.

Floyd vetted each guy carefully and there seemed to be a theme to whom he selected to fight (aka make rich). These possible lottery winners needed keep quiet and out of the way until Floyd was ready to announce it. Khan couldn't shut his mouth and he blew it IMO. Floyd was no dummy, he knew he was making someone richer than they ever dreamed and he wasn't going to let a dick like Khan get rich.

I think he seen it as a risky fight at that stage of his career.i still think Mayweather would of beat him.

Chris Algieri didn't think Khan was a risky fight, even though he had to move up a weight to fight him, and even though he only had about 20 fights as a pro with no amateur experience. A lot of people thought CA actually won that fight. Khan a threat to Mayweather? I guess Algieri would have been too.

This I agree with and we all know that Floyd isn't beyond being charitable to certain fighters when he feel their cause or situations needed money to help them out:

Manny=Tax Trouble, then what people don't know is that he asked if he could get another payday at the end of their fight.

Berto=needed money to help out his native folks back in Haiti due to the destruction caused by the earthquakes

Guerrero=needed big money to pay his wife's medical bills due to her bout with cancer.

Khan isn't someone that Floyd would be afraid of by no means, he (Amir) isn't a big puncher, has a glass chin, isn't great on defense and doesn't absolutely possess the most difficult of boxing skills to figure out and time. So since he had no real cause or situation that warranted some type of monetary bailout plus you add to the fact that his sh*ttalking came off as disrespectful rather than competitive it is easy to see why Floyd wouldn't bother to give him a paycheck but it absolutely has nothing to do with fear as the OP may be suggesting.

As far as the comment about Packy asking for another payday, I saw it in a video on YT with Floyd and he was asked what was it that Manny said to him at the end of their fight? Floyd said Manny's reply was "can I get another payday"?

When I find that vid I will post the link, but all of us witnessed Manny saying something to Floyd to which Mayweather didn't tell anyone until later what was said.

Then don't call it a duck! Just because someone says no to a fight doesn't mean its a duck, he knows he's not ready for the title and everything that goes with it, he's not scared of Charles effing Martin.

It's still a duck if he was offered the fight and refused it, that's just how ducking works.

Did Floyd offer Khan the fight?? Yes or no?? Because Khan isn't or never was in the driver's seat to offer Floyd a fight just in case you do not know how it works.

Wilder offered Povetkin the fight and Povetkin said he needed 6 more months to train for it, that my friend is what you call a "Duck".[/quote]
I may be incorrect... but didn't you accuse GGG of ducking Lara?

Floyd always talks about the "Money" and a fight with Amir Khan would've been HUGE.

Mayweather vs Khan 1.8million buys at least! I think why this fight never happened is for the fact say what you want Khan's hand speed is

abnormal and he would have peppered Floyd at times and gotten out of harms way. Not saying he would have won but he would've stung Floyd a

few times with BLISTERING speed Floyd isn't stupid he's well aware. He had problems in the early going against Judah and Khan throws more and

is much much faster than Zab Judah. Much respect to Floyd but he did avoid and run from Cotto 2008 version (yes he did), he avoided giving Oscar

a rematch, and he ran from Manny 2008-2013 version. But back to Khan a money fight like that it's obvious why the fight never took place he wanted

no part of Khan's hands speed.

Bertos hands were are far faster than khans overrated slaps.your thread is,a joke just like khans,deluded chasing of a mayweather he has done nothibg to earn a fight with
