    It was only months ago when a possible Floyd-Khan fight was ripped apart and thought to be a total joke

    I understand that but people who don't like Floyd can say its a cherry pick and they have an argument becAuse if everything was the way it should be he should be fighting them guys. People will say khans a cherry pick just because the hate Floyd and have a leg to stand on when arguing .

    I think Maidana struggles against offensive fighters which is why he had success against Floyd. Floyd's punch output is too low for Maidana. That's why Alexander, Khan, and even Morales had success against Maidana.

    Maybe but it turned out berto wasn't very good, and was arguably beat by collazo. Khan also in a lot of peoples view beat Peterson .

    Calling me stupid isn't necessary. And there's a reason you say "forget the past". I'll let that answer your question.

    As for every fight being considered a cherry pick because it isn't Pacquiao, I disagree. That's actually unfair. Because if they fought in 2010 like they planned, then Floyd fought Ortiz, Cotto, Guerrero, Canelo, and Maidana x2. Would they still be considered cherry picks? It's unfair because while I do place MOST of the blame on Floyd, it's not entirely his fault the fight fell through. But that's another discussion.

    Does khan deserve a shot at Floyd. No.
    We all want Floyd Pac. Will it happen. Not likely.
    Who else does that leave.

    Thurman maybe in 12 _18 months. Garcia. Not a chance. Only hope lands a left hook. Bradley needs a big win but so does khan but Bradley has no advantages over Floyd.

    Khan has elite speed, which maybe could trouble Floyd if khan uses it properly .

    Who else is there that has an talent that is comparable to Floyd in the ring.

    Yeah he needs to feel something coming back often or he'll keep pressing hard against khan he came out like a wild man but ate a heavy shot early and slowed down for a bit when khan stopped landing good punches he came back hard firing away

    Khans stylistically the 1st or 2nd most dangerous fight for floyd - making it exciting to watch.

    And does khan deserve a floyd fight..um...if he makes his statement come true. He's statement was: i will beat Robert Guerrero in more dominant fashion than mayweather. If he can do that then he sure deserves the fight. 2 dominant wins over top 10 ranked welterweights is sufficient.

    Disgusted to see people calling a loss upon a fighter who was cheated on by steroids.

    I won't speak about anything prior to 2013. But NOW, I place blame on Floyd. I also think Arum and Pacquiao are just name dropping Floyd for the **** of it, I don't think they have any intentions of reaching out. He's signed to fight Algieri for Christ's sake, let Pacquiao run his mouth after he beats Algieri. Then we'll see who really wants it.

    Floyd SR WARNS Khan .

    Just like he Warn Maidana before the first fight

    "Floyd beats you EASY "

    We all saw Maidana/Mayweather 1 .

    He could not have been more wrong .

    If he beats Guerrero in dominant fashion, then yes, I think he's earned it. But he can't struggle.
