    I hate to say it, but after last night, Khan has a chance.

    Granted, it's not a very big chance, but still a chance.

    It was at 143. Khan looks huge and a lot more comfortable at 147

    Maybe Khan could do himself a favour by beating a current top 10 fighter?

    143 is still welterweight.

    But I understand what you are getting at. But let's not get ahead of ourselves here he's fought a old Collazo who's current form was patchy at best, let's see him in with a top 10 fighter.

    Until Floyd whips him, then it becomes a cherrypick.

    Julio Diaz and Danny "Swift" were both able to get Khan's timing down. I'll leave it at that.

    The winner of Khan-Brook would be deserving. <= I think that's a damn good fight too!

    I believe Mayweather beats them both though. Khan and Brook both like to keep the fight in the center of the ring and that's right in Floyd's wheelhouse. Neither are terribly awkward or throw punches from weird angles. Both are good fighters, but I don't see great challenges here.

    Yes he could. Khan's weakness is his chin, Floyd isnt exposing that. Khan is taller, longer and faster than Floyd.

    the floyd of today won't stop khan, the floyd of today wont outwork khan, the floyd of today wont be able to slip his punches.

    khan has a better chance than anybody.

    It would be a very funny fight because Khan would employ the same tactics Mayweather did against Maidana.

    Khan is very fast and would jab and run, grab, run, jab, grab, run, run, grab, jab and Mayweather and his fans would call him a *****.

    It would be interesting to see the reaction from Mayweather and his fans to Khans tactics.

    Is there anything more pathetic than picking on a guy because he is getting old?

    Why would it mean that much if he really has aged so dramtically?

    Would you actually be proud of beating a Mayweather that, you think, isn't actually at 100%?

    Khan is such a dumbass.

    No. Khan hasn't proven he can hang in the WW division yet. He's not going to outbox FLoyd Mayweather regardless if his handspeed is superior. And he'll be seeing more counterpunches coming back at him than he's ever seen before which could spell major trouble for him and his chin.

    If FLoyd decided to counter with power punches rather than leads, he'll be able to knock Khan down. Still I think it would be a very entertaining fight, especially the first half of it, but if Khan thinks he's going to have a chess match with FLoyd as he mentioned last night and beat him? Than he's more delusional than I thought he was.

    I still have a huge problem with him thinking he deserves to fight Manny or FLoyd. What has he done in the last 2 years that makes him think he deserves to be considered even in the top 5 of candidates for either fighter? He beat a 7 year past his prime Louis Collazo and all of a sudden he can leapfrog other established WW's who've been doing a lot more at the weight a lot longer than Khan?

    Let Amir rematch Danny Garcia first. If he beats him, which is anyones guess, than take on one of the young guns at WW, specifically Thurman or Porter.. Than you can start mouthing off in the WW division. You can't do that after only 1 fight in the division against a guy who wasn't even a recognized top 10 Welter. Ridiculous.

    Of course. But imagine having the cowardly mentality of wanting to fight someone because they are getting weaker. It's pathetic.
