    Mayweather by KO

    Khan is good and I actually think with his speed, skills and reach he will give Mayweather his toughest challenge but, I also think he will eat too many shots throughout the fight and eventually get stopped.

    Maybe, but Devon's son gave Mayweather all he can handle.

    He deserves it more than Maidana did who, let's face it, is a C-Level fighter at best who only got the fight because he schooled a D-Level hypejob in Broner.

    Because who are the next best options?

    Bradley & Pac - can't happen for same reasons

    Brook - Not as well hooked up as Khan & less of a draw (just as deserving as Khan though)

    Then you have - Khan

    Thurman close behind?


    If Guerrero, Ortiz and Maidana can fight Floyd then why can't Khan?

    Floyd has to fight Khan, Pac, Brook or Bradley next...

    I have a feeling he'll bring flat footed D.Garcia in...

    You're right: I guess Floyd just fights undeserving fighters.

    And Maidana has Khan problems so why did he get the fight twice.

    Peterson doesnt count as a loss. And khan was schooling Garcia until he got that lucky punch. Floyd doesnt carry that power.

    Either Pac or Khan, otherwise Floyd shows himself up yet again.

    whether khan deserves a shot or not, i'd like to see him fight Floyd
    there aren't too many fighters out there who can give Floyd a few grey hairs, but khan is definitely one of them. bring it on

    Khan also has a boss and is desperate for retirement money. So you're telling me Mayweather's excuses to not fight someone only applies to Pacquiao, but not Khan?

    Where was Khan in '96, '97, and '98?

    He doesn't deserve it because there's Pacquiao.
    Remove Pacquiao and he's probably a top runner for a Floyd fight.

    Dude, Khan still has a glass jaw. That shot Pac landed on Aligeri in the ninth round would absolutely destroy Khan. Hell, I think Mayweather would KO his ass too.

    the difference between fighting pacman and khan is that Floyd can dictate terms to khan, but not pacman

    But he'll make more than double if he fights Pac. If the recent reports are true and that's not even including ppv.

    But yeah I agree with your take on it.

    If we can a combination of:

    Mayweather-Pacquiao
    Mayweather-Khan
    Pacquiao-Khan

    That will satisfy my hunger as a boxing fan.
