    Lara would definitely be hell for Mayweather but sadly it doesn't work that way. Lara needs proper management to get the attention/fights he rightfully deserves. Mayweather is looking for names and if there are no names he would pick on no name opponents that are risky. It's a business-first move and obviously Lara would be risky with zero reward to follow. If Lara was in his position he would do the exact same thing.

    Isn't Alvarez the best at 154 at the moment?, wasn't DLH the best at 154 when Mayweather got to him?, what about Mosley at 147?, Baldomir at 147?(sure he's ESB's biggest joke but wasn't he officially rated #1 in 2007?).

    Simple : Mayweather doesn't have a whole lot of options, in terms of making $.


    So Khan is of course being considered.


    Notes

    * Mayweather is not as popular as his fans think he is, the desperation in needing a good opponent to do good numbers highlights this fact well.

    * Anyone with some sense should wait on pissing on mayweather due to all this Khan talk. I don't think Ive ever seen a fighter hated on more for the opponents hes 'going to face', only for Floyd to never wind up fighting them. Until the fight is signed, people should save their insults towards Floyd over Khan being an opponent.

    After reading about this hore****, I realized one truly great thing. When Garcia layed Khan out, it was one of the most satisfying nights for boxing fans. Nothing will ever take that away from us, even if he gets the mayweather fight. That stupid look on his face after he got clipped was priceless.

    No offense, but it isn't all that difficult to understand why Khan has so many fans.

    Mathysse or Garcia clearly.

    Khan barely got past Diaz ffs. Khan is a massive cherry pick and a **** fight.

    GoldenBoy clearly want Khan vs Mayweather to cash Khan out before someone else gets to him as the Diaz fight proved. This is Khan's last chance for a payday.

    Why wouldn't he like 147?, didn't you say in one of your many comical threads(where you got your ass ripped to shreds as usual) that he's drained at 140?

    He should enjoy 147, but its yet to be seen, thats why facing Alexander at 147 is such an important fight for Khan if he enjoys the weight looks good vs Alexander and beats him, then Khan would pose problems for Floyd like no other boxre at 147 due to his style and greater handspeed and footspeed.

    He fought at 147 but at a catchweight, all his other offers to fighters at the weight have been catchweights. He even offered to bring down Lopez and Senchenko close to 140 which they turned down. Soto was also considered to move up to 142 but never officially contacted like the rest. From the looks of things Khan isn't exactly willing to enjoy 147. What he's trying to do is move certain fighters willing to get a payday down to impress a few bumpkins only to score his last payday against Mayweather in a normal welterweight fight where he's going to get spanked in the most comical fashion yet, even more than Prescott and Garcia fights combined. If you honestly believe Khan has ANY chance in HELL in this fight then you're way off your marbles.

    The Alexander talks are nothing but nonsense as usual from Khan, pretty much similar to his nonsense about wanting to fight Matthysse as soon as he sparked Prescott to keep whatever is left of his fanbase alive and stinking joints(literally) as usual. Team Alexander were never officially contacted and made it clear publicly, Khan is yet to respond to their aggressive reply even though it happened weeks ago.

    :lol:

    Alexander is a real 147 fighter, will he do this to Khan?

    And if Khan beats Alexander at 147 (World champion) what would be your reaction?
