    Khan is not a career defining fight stop playing, no matter who Floyd fights if it isn't Manny Floyd's critics will say he cherry picked them so who gives a **** about Khan fighting Mayweather, he beats a broke down Zab who throws 10 punches a round now days and all of a sudden he's the next big thing...

    Khan's best win is Maidana to whom he barely scraped by, Khan now wants to fight another past prime, half shot fighter in Eric Morrales, Amir is a ****ing joke...

    A gift? Berto won that fight. It was close, but all of Berto's rounds were clear. Pick apart Berto's resume, you pick Khan's apart, too.

    Great post. This is what I've been saying all along. The same applies to Ortiz, too.

    Khan has wins over 2 current top 5 guys Kotelnik and Maidana.
    In his 6 fights at LWW he has wins over 4 top 10 guys at the time of beating them.

    Berto on the other hand.......

    Actually he wants to fight and has been calling out your boy Bradley. Too bad he ran for the hills.

    no sorry he didnt. ortiz had boxed a world class fighter. maybe he was at class c world level but better than any of the fighters that were dragged in for khan, ie an old barrera etc etc.

    ortiz has been at this level for a little while now.

    khan has boxed lots of blown ups and missed out completely on the uk scene.

    :huh What leads you to believe Bradley's my boy? He's doing the same thing Khan doing, begging for a Pacquiao fight, like Khans begging for a Mayweather fight, they are two in the same...

    Ortiz fought the tougher competition no doubt but he quit against Maidana and drew against Peterson so he didnt exactly deserve a title shot either.

    Ok...And khan is going to outbox Floyd? Ortiz has a better chance knocking floyd out, than Khan outboxing floyd. So when Floyd fight khan its just another cherry pick.

    Ortiz fight wether in 140 or 147 is an easy fight for Floyd and that's why Floyd pick ortiz.

    khan is way faster than Floyd and khan speed would pose a problem for floyd.

    After floyd vs ortiz... next pick for floyd would be Bradley.

    When you say "Way faster" do you know what it means? Khan mite be faster to throw the punch but it as no where near the same precision and im sure floyd's reflex and anticipation are faster than Khan. But Khan is not way faster than floyd.

    Khan and Roach really want this fight, they see something in Floyd now that Khan can take advantage of.

    GBP want this fight, and Team Khan want this fight next year for sure.

    Yet to see Khan get outboxed, don't under rate Khan's boxing skills, this kid is the same kid who won a Silver medal when he was only 17yrs.

    Khan angers me at times, he just seems to be following a script.
