    Going by your logic your only as good as your last fight then please explain how the Complete journeyman only the fight before khan took Shawn porter to a draw. The same Shawn porter who just wipped Devon Alexander.

    I am with you there, also a big Mayweather fan.
    But this fight is beyond a joke.

    No amount of spin could make this a worthwhile fight.
    Floyd takes this fight he can GGF

    This is an oh-hum fight, at least it's better than Pac-Rios, which is not saying much. It better have a good undercard or this fight will do worse than Guerrero fight. How many Khan fans are in the USA? Aren't most of them in Gitmo? j/k

    Only trolls support this fight. This fight is a bigger joke than both Ortiz and Guerrero combined. Even though Ortiz and Guerrero clearly had no chances in hell, at least Ortiz had the WBC title and Guerrero was Mayweather's mandatory. Khan offers nothing and looked bad in his last fight.

    This has nothing to do with how a certain fighter looks in their last fight. It's Amir Khan we're talking about and he already proved that he's very predictable. The point here is, if fighters like Molina, Prescott, Diaz and whoever else I'm forgetting timed him and gave him hell then imagine what Mayweather would do to him. All Khan has is speed and freakish activity, NOTHING else. His fighting style is somehow robotic and very predictable. He constantly jumps about and hops in with one-twos. Mayweather will time and pummel the living hell out of him.

    I'm no Floyd fan but I always did and still do think Khan would give Floyd fits. Tell you what, I'm more hyped about this fight than I was for the Drainelo fight.

    Feel like there's going to be a lot of "I told you so" come fight night.

    When was the last time mayweather didn't time and pummel the living hell out of his opponent? The point is he brings brings that extra speed which is something we haven't seen mayweather face for some time and a lot of heart. Normally mayweather crushes his opponents heart in a few rounds. Yes we know he dosent gave a great chin but mayweather a not a big puncher and that's what makes this interesting. As far as your comment about this Bieng worse than the Guerrero or Ortiz fight dude who gives a crap if he had a belt or was mandatory when has mayweather made habit of facing mandatories? The fact is those were much worse mismatches than this. There best wins was against a nobody in berto who we know recently lost to a journeyman soto Karras. Ortiz was a known quitter and Guerrero struggled against selcuk aydin. Get real dude

    It's not worse than Pac vs Rios tbf although I can see why one would criticize this potential match up. I wish Khan had looked stronger lately.

    Make your mind up. You just said a minute ago that it had nothing to do with how a fighter looked in there last fight.

    I am real, which is why I always considered both Guerrero and Ortiz joke opponents as soon as these fights were announced. I even watched these fights half assed as if I was watching fights I already saw 10 times before. The only fun moment in the Ortiz fight was the fiasco knockout and Ortiz' amateurish and embarrassing headbutts.

    Amir Khan offers nothing, sure his speed is making you believe it will be a factor but I assure you it won't be a factor at all, I promise you that. Mayweather is faster and stronger which will make Khan's speed look ordinary in comparison. Having speed is great if you know how to use it, if you jump in with one-twos or predictable combinations you will be timed and stopped in your tracks. I never consider slick fighters performing boring but this will be boring because it's very predictable to me what is eventually going to happen. Don't forget, Alvarez wasn't exactly slow at Light Middleweight either yet when you run into someone faster you will look like a zombie. You don't need to be a big puncher to hurt or drop Khan as was proven numerous times already.

    You need to read properly. I said it has nothing to do with how others in general looked in their last fight.

    Translation: This has nothing to do with how others look in their last fight but definitely does when Khan is in the discussion. Why?, because we already know his fighting style and obvious flaws. Even if he looked super amazing against Diaz, Mayweather's style will overwhelm and **** on him altogether.

    Do you even read your posts before posting them? It dosent matter about any one else's last fight but it does about khans? And you don't think that sounds biased? Conversation over

    Conversation over my ass. Yes it does matter how Khan looked in his last fight because he sure as hell won't bring anything different. Hell Molina was timing and catching him over and over with the same punch Garcia sparked him with. Sadly Molina had no size nor any power to back it up with.
