Amir might be lots of things, but he isn't a coward. I'm not sure if fights between Khan and the likes of Thurman, Porter, Spence or a rematch with Garcia were ever realistic propositions.

In regards to the Brook fight, Khan engaged in negotiations with Eddie Hearn at the start of 2016, but the Matchroom boss offered him a far smaller payday than the one he was capable of earning against Canelo.

It’s clearly your prerogative to dislike Amir Khan, it’s abundantly clear that I can’t persuade you to appreciate someone that you obviously detest, but wouldn’t it be better if the justification for your derogatory opinion was based on fact rather than fiction?

I don't know much about the babyleagues, but the best in his division is Keith Thurman right? And Floyd would never dare to fight him ofcourse.

Khan is delusional at times, but at least realizes that he should stay away from big punchers unless it pays extremely well. He was in negotiations with Hearn, for about the 4th or 5th time, but priced himself out, then told Brook to beat Spence first, then they could talk more. He also wanted a tune up fight first. Khan had nothing to lose by getting KO'd by Canelo. Same as Brook vs GGG.

As far as Floyd goes, if you are at least semi-retired, 40 yrs old, wouldn't you want to box a guy with very little boxing experience and make a much bigger payday than anyone else he could face? Floyd isn't stupid.
