    If it's in the UK, I'll accept it. Otherwise, no way this fight should happen.
     
  2. If this fight is in the UK it will be the biggest fight for a long, long, long time!

    The more I think about it, the more I think...how can this fight not be made? It makes complete sense in terms of Hype, Money, PPV's, Attraction and Exposure. It will be made in 2014 and hopefully be in the UK.
     
  4. Nobody out there is on Mayweathers level right now, Khan has the same chance as anybody else on this planet.

    This fight is not good but GREAT for boxing! It will be a mega fight, it could probably be record breaking fight infact.

    Absolutely.

    But if Khan gets a few decent wins at 147, the fight will have a chance of happening. Having said that, he will have to fight decent opposition and if he does, there's not much chance he will win.
     
  6. You think your boxing heros always took on the absolute best challengers every time out? Don't be naive mate.
     
  7. It means **** happens! But you cannot deny the excitment around this fight will be fantastic for our sport. And while the fight last it will also be great fun to watch.

    At least Guerrero earned his shot at Floyd by beating two good welterweights.

    A recap of his last four fights:
    Loses to a roided Peterson.
    Get's stopped in four rounds by Garcia.
    Beats a journeyman in Molina.
    Goes life and death to scrape out a decision against gatekeeper Diaz getting dropped in the process.

    He's never fought at welterweight. Very disappointing defence for Mayweather.

    Yes well said and the **** thing were talking about the the P4P fighter fighting against a guy that does not deserve the shot after losing to Garcia.

    Calm down everyone.

    After Canelo who deserves it more than the winner of Alexander v Khan seriously? Is the list that long?

    This chin talk is so tiring, people act as if he gets knocked out all the time when the reality of it is he has been knocked out once in his career despite having a very good resume.

    Ko ed by Prescott


    TKO ed by Garcia

    And dropped by Juan Diaz in his last fight ..

    That formula doesn't equate to the strongest of chins now does it ?

    I don't understand how this fight takes place, if Khan cant fight in September because of religious reasons then Floyd will fight someone then Khan will fight Alexander/Abregu he doesnt get past any of them, I have some feeling they will try and make Berto/Khan in December

    Obviously not. That doesnt warrant the incessant "the wind will KO him" nonsense. People are so quick to look past his record.

    None of Barrera, Kotelnik, Maidana, McClosky, Judah & Peterson managed to get as far as knocking him down never mind out.

    People act like Malignaggi would would 'KTFO' him. Boring.

    Mayweather fights and beats Canelo on September and Khan beats Alexander and takes his WW Belt?

    As long as Floyd fights Canelo at 154 just like he did Cotto and Oscar then that would be fine with me.
