    Go over to the British boxing forum if you dont believe how hated Khan is in the UK. The only fans he has are Muslims and err... me :bolt

    i agree.

    Khan needs to beat an Alexander to A) bring something to the table (IBF). and B) to show he can cut it up at Welter.

    if it happens without Khan doing this, it just comes across as cheap. yes, it would probably make money, but competition needs to be there to make it worthwhile.

    at this point in time, Khan isn't competition until he shows he is.

    hopefully, Mayweather sticks to his guns and refuses to fight Khan until he at least proves himself.

    It really don't matter because 140 and 147 don't hold anybody that's a real threat. That includes Pac. He might as well get the most buck for the bang. Since the Castile fight, he don't do retreads so everybody that has gotten their ass kicked already might as well fold. He don't have anything to prove because he has already proven that he's the best that ever did it. If he feels that he needs a challenge then 154 will give him that. He should fight twice at 147 then Lara at 154 and close with two more at 147 with Pac being the closer. That way, he can beat Pac's ass and walk on into immortality.

    that's true, no doubt. but Khan should fight Devon first to give the fight with Floyd a bit of bite. without it, the Khan/Floyd situation will fall flat on it's face. no one will anticipate it. it will be a forgone conclusion in the extreme.

    at least with a win over Devon, people would think that Khan could trouble Floyd with his speed for a few rounds before the inevitable. without it, it's just needless and dull.

    with the way Khan's chin is at this point, a KO for Floyd is pretty much a dead cert.

    Bullsh!t. First Khan is 5'10. Floyd is 5'7.. maybe 5'7.5

    Second, when was the last time Floyd ko somebody without a cheapshot? Hatton in 2007. And he RAN HEAD FIRST INTO THE PUNCH!! Like Pac. But Ricky got up. That shows the lack of power.:patsch

    Floyd has ZERO power at WW. And Khan's chin is bad but NOT that bad!

    Not the same is it though, To give Hatton credit he was undefeated number 1 LWW in the world and a top 10 p4p at the time, Way more deserving then Khan, Hatton deserved the Mayweather fight Khan doesnt

    I can't stand Khan, to be honest. I can't think of a single boxer that I'd rather not get a Mayweather PPV payday than him.

    Hatton got up from 2 kd's from pac. Guess pac showed even less power. Secondly floyd is 5'8...and "zero power at ww" yet no one just walks through his shots.

    First off khan aint 5 10 hes 5 81/2 tops second i remember a few years ago when can was getting hyped up the ass a guy buy the name of micheal gomez flored khan and he couldnt punch for **** i mean total feather puncher. I ssid at the time khan aint gona make the big league hes no chin. Mayweather his alot harder than gomez alot harderrrr. And hes accurate. This fight will not pass 8 i garantee it. More money for floyd with less risk just like he likes it. And why not .
