    they will feed Khan some scrubs someone from the lower weights with a name or fabricate a guy .......maybe they feed him to the catch all guy as It seems beating Berto has become..... consider that he has a somewhat impressive physique and is black it makes the average ignorant fan out there believe that hey this guy here beat that guy Berto he has to be good, maybe he also beats Mayweather? meanwhile Berto isn't very good, yet that seems to be the launching pad kick Bertos ass and get a date with Mayweather and it really helps to be coming up from a lighter weight they have it down to a science trust me smoke and mirrors and commerce......no real fight or real challenges its all about the hype and the suckers will pay.

    Despite what he may tell you, Mayweather will not fight in the UK to earn half of what he does in Las Vegas. Yes, Khan is being built up as an opponent for him (always has been), but it's not being done so that can experience fighting in the UK. It's being done because outside of Canelo and Pacquiao, Khan will help him generate the most money (for a ****-easy night's work).

    Let's stop this nonsense. For years, everyone has been claiming that Mayweather and Khan are going to fight each other. The problem though is that Khan isn't cooperating. He keeps looking bad. You can't sell that fight right now. If they go through with this informal JWW tourney, Khan will lose again in his next fight.

    They're actually planning on throwing him in with Alexander, in a matchup that mimics Ortiz-Berto. Throw Khan in the deep end and if he manages to stay afloat, then great, they've just manufactured an excuse to legitimise Mayweather's next opponent. And if he drowns, ain't no bother, Alexander can get the shot instead.

    Khan is now the Mandatory the moment they update the rankings with Guerreros loss that moves Khan up from #2 to #1

    Guerrero was the mado. So another mando isn't due for a year. Khan will probably lose his next fight anyway. And Abregu is the number 1 contender, not Khan.

    If he is only fighting 5 more fights I would say that he should be one. Name 5 other fighters that he should fight over him . . . in his weightclass. Problem is since PBF is head and shoulders over everyone else at his weight people say he should fight Ward and ****

    I can see this point as well. if you say it isnt marketable so it should not happen, that makes sense.

    I also think they will but its easy KO win for Floyd with record in connection % :yep
    But if they make Khan vs Alexander than i dont think they want to feed Khan without good win but he can not beat Devon!

    Yep - either Khan wins against an American opponent and gets the Floyd fight, or Devon scores a knock out over Amir and raises his profile to set up a Mayweather fight of his own.

    Win-win.

    As long as Khan survives his next fight, I fully expect GB to make this bout, deplorable as it is.

    Exactly so this means Floyd will move up defend his WBA belt hopefully unify with Canelo but likely will face who ever is rated by the WBA then move back down after wards to face Khan and defend his WBC belt

    Khan is only thing stopping this fight from happening. All he has to do is not get ktfo in his next few fights.

    Khan isn't the number 1 contender, Abregu is.
