    No problem - This was a couple of years back though and Khan has come along way since.

    it always been like that.

    if floyd beats him, people would say he cherry picked him.

    "khan was inexpierence, he only had 1 or 2 fights at ww"

    "easy win easy money for floyd"

    "floyd is killing the sport, he is fighting 140lb fighters"

    I would not be surprised if Floyd tries to go after Bradley, instead of Pac or Khan, which now appears to be less of a threat and would eliminate one of Pac's option.

    ...bottom line, "It would be crazy for Floyd to get into the ring with Pacquiao after Victor Ortiz." -R. Mayweather

    Yep. 61 of 284 punches. And Zab Judah is no Floyd Mayweather Jr.

    People thinking Mayweather is concerned about fighting Khan need to lay off the pipe.

    bradley has a better chance fighting manny than floyd if bradley signs with top rank.

    khan is with gbp, floyd/khan would happen first if bradley signs with top rank.

    :nono Nah. I don't buy it at all.

    Mayweather is not scared of Khan, not before nor after last night's fight.

    Mayweather will fight Khan, and will dominate him.

    I do believe Mayweather has ducked many fighters (Margarito, Cotto, and most disgracefully Pacquiao), but I don't believe he will fear Khan.

    Khan's just an athlete with good handspeed. Mayweather will know his superior technique will be more than enough to win this fight with ease. That's why he'll take it.

    Why people continue to say Mayweather ducked Margarito and Cotto is beyond me. You have Bob Arum on record with ESPN stating that he did not feel Mayweather was worth the money, and he did not want to setup a fight with Oscar either. Shotly after, Mayweather bought himself out of his contract with Top Rank since Bob Arum did not get him the fights he wanted.

    It was a 3 fight deal, and Arum admitted that Floyd had agreed to the terms for Margarito. He wanted extra money for Cotto and Hatton, and even more for Oscar. Bob Arum would have made a substantial profit, and clearly underestimated Floyd's drawing power.

    Bob said that "wasn't in the cards... you gotta know when to hold'em and when to fold'em, etc." and made a bad business decision that lacked foresight. So that must mean Mayweather ducked those guys. :nut Seriously, people need to stop making stuff up.

    Yea Bob wanted to only pay Mayweather 5 million to fight Hatton, Mosley and Cotto and that the mega million DLH fight was not there.

    Sometimes business decisions are the better ones.

    It was actually 8 million for Margarito, and 7 million each for Cotto and Hatton. Floyd wanted 10 for Cotto and Hatton, and 20 to fight Oscar. Since hindsight is 20/20, we can establish that Arum would have still made a substantial profit if he had agreed to Mayweather's terms.

    Details aside though, all the "Mayweather was scared" nonsense really needs to stop. Bob Arum made a business decision, plain and simple.
