    From what I hear, the Khan/Alexander fight is still being worked on.

    khan wants to wait for a fight with floyd. there is no more khan vs devon in dec. man i think khan is ducking devon bad for a fight with floyd. if you want to use the word duck now is the time. i think khan seen there interview were they asked mayweather sr who do he want to see his son fight next and he said khan. since then khan has been ***** foot around the devon fight. devon has signed but khan has not. khan is not worthy but he is a big draw in the uk.

    Floyd said that Khan can't talk his way into a fight and has to fight and earn it. Hopefully he sticks by that

    Ricky Hatton was an undefeated champion and a top 10 p4p fighter when he fought Mayweather. Khan is 2-2 in his last 4 fights, has been knocked out twice, and has no title. It would be surprising if Khan really didn't fight Alexander and Mayweather still fought him. It's highly doubtful that fight would generate 1.5 million ppv buys, at least in America.

    I don't know what's in his head. He should use Devon as preparation as he is also a slickster. He is taking a gamble taking this shortcut. I would beat Devon, look good, get some hype and get the money fight. Now he's gonna end up with nothing

    way to earn a superfight... what a dick!

    i get it though, he justifiably fearful that if he tries to defeat a top-10 WW to earn a fight with Mayweather he'll get KTFO again before he makes it to the big dance. what a fukkin joke

    How is Khan the frontrunner? This fight has been talked about even by the Mayweather camp in the past up to recently. Isn't Khan a "has been"? Khan has lost 2 of his last 4 fights. Why does Mayweather want to fight a washed up fighter? Or is that in line with what he has been doing his whole career?

    Can the Mayweather fans chime in because logic doesn't follow what Mayweather has claimed in the past.

    Snr doesnt speak for floyd. We should all know that by now. Whatever snr says, hr tends to do the opposite. I dont think Khanis really being considered. Floyd doesnt fight someone unless theyre coming off a big win so they can sell the fight to the public.

    There is no chance of it being at Wembley and it would do well to crack 1m ppv in the US.
