Of course you would as long as the money was right
I suspect Mayweather is still cowering behind his burgers even right now.

He'd fight Floyd for free just as long as free had 8 figures & a dollar sign before it!

...Floyd bitched out because he was afraid of Khan?

Khan knows he would lose. No doubt in my mind. Floyd was just the big payday he craved. He would of stood zero chance against him.
Money was the only driving force in Khan's pathetic attempt at securing Floyd or Pacquiao

What I don't get is how Khan's loyal British fans don't call Amir out?
I get how a person can be delusional, but thousands of fans?

Khan stood on the sideline claiming he DESERVED a Floyd fight. All the while, many big name challengers said, "fight me if you want Floyd".
Khan ducked all those guys and fought Molina, Diaz, Collazo, Alexander, Algieri.

All he had to do is replace ONE of those names with Thurman, Porter or Brook and he'd have respect and the fight with Floyd (assuming he won ) But he didn't, but still gets respect. How?

British boxing creates some of the best environments for a fight. I love watching any major fight in GB.
However, the bias among its fans, and specifically the illogical cases like this, stops serious boxing discussion.

Whatever though, Khan got his big fight coming up the easy side of the mountain ... boxing

Us Brits do call out Amir on it. He isn't particularly liked in the UK in all honesty. I personally like the guy, but many don't.

don't know which fans your talking about, we (the brits) don't call him out because we don't care all we are interested in is seeing good fights, if the good fights don't happen then they don't happen, khans fought some good fighters and is usually in good fights and yes he has wasted a lot of time trying to secure big fights but its his career and he can do as he pleases, im not really into slagging off boxers they've got a hard enough job as it is without being judged by a load of keyboard warriors that have never laced them up, and in terms of brit fan bias I think your confusing the casual fan with dedicated boxing fans

BI detests khan more than any fan has hated a fighter.

I am British fella and calling him on it. To concur though yes he needed to earn the right and avenge his losses or fight the Porters of this world before getting Floyd. The fact that he has swerved Kell too says a lot. He would lose and career over. Instead he will lose to Canelo but can carry on as he is not expected to win and everyone will pat him on the back for trying. Win win for Khan, assuming Canelo doesn't hurt him too badly, which he may do I suppose.

No one in 147 wants to fight him? What a lying sack of dogsh!t. Khan is not only delusional, he needs serious help. I hope he beats Canelo, so he can take Canelo's place vs GGG.

If Khan fought and lost to Brook, his career is over. It was smart taking the Canelo fight to prolong his career at least one more fight. Stupid fight on Canelo's part though. (aside from the money) If Khan can run long enough he could make Canelo look bad until he catches up with him. Canelo's career will take a huge hit if Khan is even competitive.

You complete me.

I just think these two guys (Khan/Canelo) are boxing's version of "find the next Jordan".
These guys stardom are artificially created. Khan is more genuine than Canelo, but since Garcia he has ducked any serious challenge that would have silenced doubters/haters (me).

Khan has been irrelevant for a couple years, not as much as ward. Whom you still support.

if you had run a poll before floyd's last with
whom he should face and asked

berto
floyd

you'd have one bar with berto's promoter and
the other with the rest of the world.

would khan have won? no. did he "deserve" it
more than berto? yes.

I'm talking about the return of Jesus. (Literally, )
Khan is like the return of something less valuable.

No comparison.

Not true. Brute has far more hate for Pacquiao. Freedom hates Ward more also.

Khan gets called out regularly by Brits.

I myself have been hugely critical of his deluded nature, idleness & the fact the he is letting his prime pass him by whilst trying to chase fights he doesn't deserve nor ever had any real chance of securing.

The 147lb division is hot & he could have fought a big name during the time he was idle & had he won, he might just have hit the jackpot with Floyd.

It's funny that this was brought up because I was thinking about this a little while ago. Khan is the only boxer that I've ever known that doesn't have any kind of backing from his birthplace or the country he grew up in. No one likes Khan but we all watch his fights for some reason. This guy is enigma to me. I think he's a first class douche but I love his fights, every single one of them. I'll never miss him fight and I have no idea why. Anyone? How does someone get such notoriety when no one likes him...at all...anywhere.

Amir Khan always comes to fight. Can you remember a Khan fight over the last eight years (back to Prescott) that was not entertaining? Khan is an excellent boxer who attacks and takes unnecessary risks at times. He has outboxed some fine boxers. He has been in more than one classic fight. In his two uncontroversial losses he was stopped spectacularly. Amir's chin is a significant source of the popularity of his fights. Everyone knows that Khan can be made to do The Hitman Shuffle at the top level.

Khan's fans are less vocal than his haters and detractors. Khan is an arrogant, loudmouthed Muslim who projectile vomits pretty much whatever is on his mind. He is Ali Jr. It was the hate that made Ali great. People wanted to see Ali lose because of his loud mouth. because he was African American, because he converted to Islam, because he refused to go to Vietnam. The haters were far more vocal than his fans. But Ali is loved and respected to this day around the globe. Long ago, the haters were drowned out.

I would estimate that Khan is followed by at least a billion people. IMO, Pac and FMJ avoided Khan because they felt threatened by his youth and speed, as well as his star power. I believe that his influence has lead to a wave of increased interest in boxing across the Islamic world. I'm sure that Khan has a significant hater-base among Muslims.

I was in favor of the first Maidana fight over giving Khan his shot at that time. The second Maidana fight was simply a low risk bridge to the Pac charade. Berto was a no risk bow out. FMJ's decision to avoid Khan was based on risk v reward including but obviously not limited to the economic reward. Khan would have been a better / more entertaining fight than pretty much any of FMJ's fights since ODLH.

Khan is simply quality entertainment and he has crossover star power.

What?

Let's see, the Algieri fight was "good", but sad considering a "top" guy looked like that against Algieri.
The Alexander, Collazo and Molina fights were trash. Julio Diaz was more proof that Khan isn't top level.

Floyd and Manny were threatened by a guy who gets knocked around by Julio Diaz?
Manny VS Khan would look exactly like Manny VS Hatton. KO 2
We already seen Mayweather/Khan. It would be like Mayweather/Judah with less competitive rounds.
The only difference is that Khan wouldn't do the whole low blow shit and just lose by late TKO.

They were afraid of his star power but not Canelo's or JMM's star power?
