    Khan is really solid actually. Great boxer with great handspeed.

    Good decent chin as well. You don't walk through shots from Maidana/Zab with a horrific glass jaw.

    This will be a good scrap for Money.

    Khan is garbage at 140 but at 147 he's solid. He was weight drained at 140 losing 13 pounds the day of the weight in just to make weight. In other words he's consider undefeated if he fights at 147, a young undefeated rejuvenated hungry lion with the speed to match or maybe even better then Mayweather. This will be billed as,"SPEED". I can't wait to give Floyd my $80, I wonder if we can pre order fight already.

    Although I think Amir will get stopped I do think style wise he poses more trouble for Floyd than most alternatives.

    Yeah, but that was before he got highlight-reel KO'd by Garcia, and looked terrible against guys nowhere near the top. He's a good fighter, but he's definitely not giving Mayweather any challenges if he's struggling with lower class guys. He's not what he was when he fought Maidana, Paulie, or Zab. That Khan is gone.

    Still, it's not like Mayweather has too many big stars left to fight.

    Khan is the most interesting and the fight which makes most sense next to Pacquiao and Bradley Vs Mayweather

    Bradley is edging in on it
    Alexander is also edging on it but much less than Bradley (both arn't big sellers but timmeh' earned it)
    Pacquiao not happening
    Garcia gone his own way for now

    It's Khan...

    Lmao Khan promotions posted a twitter picture earlier today of Khan on the curb ringing his family saying he was "ok and about to get a flight home"

    I thought it was in reference to mayweather not agreeing to the fight LOL!

    Turns out it was when he got crashed into a month ago...

    Would be hilarious if at this point Mayweather told him to fck off and Khan wasted his birthday in New York waiting for Floyd... baha!

    With Alexander losing last night, Garcia staying at 140, Cotto choosing between Sergio or Canelo, Pacquiao and Bradley and Ruslan with Top Rank - who's honestly, whether we like it or not, left BUT Khan?

    The fact Amir was announcing last night should prove it's close.
