Well we know that the statement coming out from the Pacquiao Camp that he will fight against Timothy Bradle, which will be third time fight between these two expected in April according to different sources. So what do you think that Amir Khan miss the chance to have a fight against Pacquiao?

That just sums Khan up.

Khan seems to spend his time waiting around for so-called superfights that he has little chance of getting, yet chooses to swerve a Battle of Britain showdown for a 'world' title whilst doing absolutely zip all in the meantime!

This time next year, he still won't have fought anyone whilst waiting for Tommy Hearns to come back!

khan thinks he is more important than he is

years ago he had a big following in the uk

his last fight he did not fill Sheffield arena

madaina fight etc 200 fans were at it

khan has let the prime of his career go by for the cash and it backfired

Rumours are Khan fights the winner or Mayweather if he comes out of retirement

I suggest Amir sits tight,this could be the one

That's Amir problem: he spends his life sitting tight waiting for a big fight to materialise & they never do.

He just needs to get on with his career before his prime passes him by without him even knowing it.

Khan just isn't very bright. He does need to move on, and fight guys like Spence, Brook, Porter, and Thurman. He is not big enough draw to get a TR fighter. Arum said HBO didn't want him.

I'd like to see him wait even longer,he's already pissed away his prime no doubt,these last couple of years wouldve been crucial in Khan cementing a legacy instead he's spent his time going to Dubai telling anyone who'll listen Floyd's scared of him and he's in with a great shout of facing him,instead Mayweather fought Maidana twice,Pacquiao and finally Berto and then Manny had him waiting too until he plumped for a Bradley rubber match

I always defended Khan but i lost patience after Floyd fought Maidana in a rematch,did Amir learn his lesson? Did he ballz,he waited 3 more times plus refused a world title fight against Brook,the guys bordering irrelevant now

I'd like to see Kell tell him to bolt

Khan has an over inflated sense of self worth.He will waste his career at the rate he is going.
10 year down the road we will be sitting in the boxers of the past sub-forum saying what could have been.
Anyone who is wasting their prime years like Khan does is an idiot.

Khan's not the sharpest knife in the drawer, is he?

Khan should have earned a shot at Mayweather or Pacquiao.

He deserved to miss out on those fights.

Maybe if he beats Brook in the summer he might possibly get to fight one of them if they come back from retirement.

That's the key word in all of this.

If only he fought Devon Alexander when he was first offered. Instead Shawn Porter took it and won the IBF belt. One week later Maidana beats Broner then gets the Floyd fight the following May. All while Khan was waiting and wasting a year of his career.

Khan needs to get in a beat someone first and not wait for them to come off a loss,then maybe,just maybe he could say he deserves a big fight.

he's missed his chance because all he's done is talk instead of getting out there and doing the work that's needed to prove he's a top boxer, this isn't a tell us world its a show us world, as in show us what you've done instead of telling everyone what you think we all like to hear.

yes he's beaten good people, has he beaten them regularly ? hell no, he has fought once in 2015, and instead of taking fights against bigger British and European names to keep himself busy and relevant he's trying to get big fights in America and letting his career pass him by.

When Brook wanted to fight Khan at first he should have taken it, now I don't think Khan is a big enough draw for Brook to fight him without Khan doing an eliminator before hand and that should say it all really

Don't be daft. Brook is a bottom feeder.

Call him what you want, you can't deny Brook is the IBF world champion and has beaten everyone he is supposed to and hasn't just sat back and done nothing, won the title, beat the #1 contender, defended the title against a good British boxer and won by TKO.

What has Khan done ? fought once against Chris Aligeri who was coming off a loss and for the WBC silver title, a title that is fought for by up and coming boxers before they win a world title not for boxers who keep chasing fights with the biggest names in the sport at his weight class

here's hoping it happens anyway unless khan starts chasing a fight with Thurman, Bradley or Garcia

Brook had done nothing with the title.

Brook only has one good win in his entire career.

Khan is a much greater fighter than Brook.

McIntyre for the british title, Michael Lomax in his last defence of the british title, Matthew Hatton for lesser world titles, Senchenko who had a lot more experience, Shaun Porter for the IBF title. I'd say he's beaten a good few people and the fact he's still undefeated helps.

Khan has fought good people I cant deny that he has wins over Malignaggi, Barrera, Maidana, Judah, Diaz, Alexander but he also has losses to Prescott, Peterson and Garcia. The latter two of the three fight at his weight and he hasn't chased a rematch to prove he is now better than them and Garcia is still undefeated and has fought 8 times and gone up a division after defending his world titles, khan lost moved up and has only fought 5 times against people ranked much lower than him.

Michael Lomax? Bloody hell! Great win that!

like Prescott when he knocked khan flat then, brilliant win for Prescott that

northern wrote:like Prescott when he knocked khan flat then, brilliant win for Prescott that

Yes, it was.

Lomax is not a win worth bragging about though.

Brook is wasting his prime, at least Khan had a prime.

like barerra wasn't a win worth mentioning for khan, I watched that fight live, the head clash and cut, the fight should have been stopped but wasn't and it was a big win for khan somehow because it was a stoppage when he (barerra) was bleeding and couldn't see.

I'd say brook and khan are more similar really when you look closer, Brook is just starting his title reign and has defended it twice this year, the same as khan who won and defended the title in the same year and had two defences the year after.

Brook will fight who they put in front of him and who will make a better fight for him, like anyone in their position should. Now Khan needs to fight for respect in the year ahead, me: I'd love to see him rematch Peterson in the UK, both established welterweights now and both are free to fight and everyone loves a rematch.

Everything that I've read points to a Brook/Khan fight mid year. Brook and Khan have to fight someone at some point right? Typical blowhard Brits yapping to reporters about a million fights they never have. Those two especially are exhausting.

Broner. And that's all I got to say about that
