    Khan will be fasting to the third week of July. He won't be ready for early September. Not to mention he doesn't deserve a fight vs Floyd.

    I'm not muslim but surely you can skip fasting for one year or do it after the fight.

    At this point, I don't think Floyd is looking for another tough defining fight. He'll probably look for someone he knows he can spank out of there, while having enough credibility in the fight to get it made and make a good chunk of change

    Amir Khan fits that box perfectly. Flashy style, weak chin, English supporters who always support their teams

    Khan says will not fight September due to his beliefs Ramadan etc.

    Mayble the pound or dollar signs may change his mind.

    Logical last fight is Khan.

    Who else who got a bit of a name a following who it could be?

    Actually I take it back...it'll be Danny Garcia 100%. It wouldn't make sense not to fight him. Stylistically an easy fight for Floyd, he's the kingpin at 140, undefeated, has performed terribly since the Lucas fight, he's a young and up and coming p4p and PPV star...it makes perfect sense. Khan won't fight in September because of Rammadan

    The only ones that can do the PPV numbers are rematch with Pacman and GGG. Golovkin is too much risk for Mayweather, he genuinely would be high risk of getting KO'd if he gets caught couple of times. Pacman again, Mayweather will use the excuse that Pac had injury so deserves a rematch, even though the fight was so **** it will still do big numbers again. People like Garcia and Thurman just won't do the numbers.
