    apart from pacquiao and paul Williams, Floyd's resume is sound
    sure hes cherry picked too, but khan will sell better than most

    Mayweather beats Khan and pacman with ease.

    You forgot Martinez.

    I don't think Mayweather will fight Khan. Before he announced Guerrero Mayweather said he was going to fight Alexander. His people put out a rumour about fighting a shittier fighter so his actual choice looks good by contrast.

    Khan would be a ridiculous opponent. He has the worst chin in the world of boxing.

    Martinez is a MW - that fight was never going to happen
    khan's chin isn't realy an issue with a Floyd fight

    Floyd had a solid KO ratio until he started moving up weights

    Martinez offered to drop down to 154 where Floyd is champion. I believe on one ocassion he even offered to come down to 150. He also proposed something ridiculous like an 80/20 split in Mayweather's favour. Despite all of this Floyd refused.

    Khan's chin is an issue in every single fight he is in. Prescott wobbled him with a jab.

    I'm not all the high on the Khan fight myself. I'd prefer Maidana. But there really is no one at WW who can compete with him.

    Void is afraid of Pac and now it appears he is afraid of Maidana!!! Void is a coward. Martinez said he would go down to 154 and fight Void, so did Golovkin, but Void is track & field............

    Khan requested a catchweight of 143 you ******, Khan was moving up while Diaz was moving down.

    It is a rumor.
    Showtime can not force Floyd to fight anybody as he could fight cab drivers and complete his contract.


    We are stuck with Khan:|

    do you think the khan fight will do bad numbers? I don't think khan even has any pull no more to be honest

    I dont believe that. As much as people hate the Khan fight, he's still probably the biggest money fight out there outside of Pac or just another guy or 2
