The Sad State of Amir Khan.

Trying to alleviate an emotional pressure like depression or hopelessness, with external objects is common in society today. Some people will eat, some people will buy clothes, or jewelry. Amir Khan well he likes to buy customized Range Rovers.

There really isn’t a lot of joy in Khanville these days. Even Amir realizes by now that his chances of fighting Floyd Mayweather in September or anytime for that matter are slim to none. Mayweather jr. has at most 2 fights left and of all his potential opponents Khan is the only one that has been delivered a firm no at least for September. Heck, even Karim Mayfield is left on the table and as outlandish as it may seem he may even be a front runner. Now Khans 1.5 million Twitter followers may call this ducking by Mayweather Jr. but what makes this depressing for Khan is that he knows it is all his fault.

Unfortunately for Khan, in reality the potential fight was always cheap cigarette smoke anyways. It had disappeared before it was ever realized. It was close to fabrication last year but the substance needed to keep it tangible wasn’t there and Maidana got the fight. The substance needed was a rematch win over Danny Garcia and Khan knows this. The self proclaimed King had two years to regain his throne from Danny Garcia and even longer for a faux one from fellow country man Kell Brook and he failed to attempt either. Instead he tried to circumvent the obvious and fool the devil with his best laid plans.

Khan believed by stringing together a 5 win streak and capping it off with a win against Algieri on PBC. He would finally get the chance to cash his lottery ticket and face Mayweather Jr., but the devil wasn’t fooled and to Amir Khan that is what probably hurts the most. It has reduced him to trash talking a fighter whose only reason to fight again is to maybe see if he can earn a billion dollars in his boxing career. Honey and bees will tell you this is never gonna work.

To offer backhanded remedy to Amir Khan, plastering self reassurance messages like King in place of the Range Rover lettering on your suv is a great way to build self confidence. However, even in that Khan forgot something crucial. Range Rover is a carriage built for a Queen Amir not a King. They are built for Queens.
