    Someone isn't ok that Matthysse is out of the Mayweather sweepstakes.

    100% it would have been him had he not gotten his ass whooped by Danny G

    Angel Garcia doesn't want the Mayweather fight so now it's Khan

    Get with the program. :hi:

    So what your trying to say is because Danny Garcia doesn't want to fight floyd Amir Khan (a guy that could have easily lost three of his last four)
    deserves it?


    Ps: I'm also a Sergey K. fan :good

    I'm saying that Amir isn't that bad of a challenger.

    He's not a top one obviously but Pac/Bradley are in TR.

    Broner issued the rematch clause.

    What GBP fighter do you wanna see fight Floyd? Lara who brings $0?

    Are you kidding? He has no fanbase.

    Even Paulie doesn't want to fight him because of business reasons.

    Who has Thurman even beaten?!

    Be honest with me here.

    Do you really think Thurman's resume > Amir's.

    Honest.

    Last February when Floyd announced the Alexander fight, people (Fans and social media) blew up on him and Alexander definitely is a more accomplished fighter than Thurman is now.

    Keith isn't big yet but nether was Robert G.

    Fact is There is no hype for a khan vs mayweather fight and the word on the street isn't good and people know it

    Keith's notable opponents to date ---
    Quintana
    Jesus Soto Karass
    Chavez

    Robert G was his mandatory though and many expected him to take it.

    Thurman is not his mandatory.

    There would be no hype in the Thurman match either man.

    Look the Khan fight isn't the best one but it will be an interesting one.

    It's much better than watching Mayweather do what he does best and outbox another guy to bits. At least we'll see action in this fight. Khan's speed is no joke.

    Mayweather-Khan has no interest to me and this is one of the times where I'd only buy if the undercard is worth getting.

    This fight is a mismatch,I can't see any reason to be interested in it and I bought the Ortiz and Guerrero fights which I think we're a lot better match ups then Khan

    At least Ortiz and Guerrero may have had a style to bother Floyd or put some nice welterweight wins together.

    Khan has done nothing at welter and he's going to try to beat Floyd by beating him at one of his own games(speed)-which isn't happening

    All fighters have bad nights. :hi:

    Khan beat Maidana/Peterson (This was a win)/many others

    His resume is actually very good

    He's just slumping a little. Doesn't change the fact that he's pretty much the only one Floyd can take as of this moment.
