    You're a great mod IB, but I enjoy posts like this when you really give your opinion on fights without having to take the PC route.

    Nice of you to debunk the fact he'd have enough time to train for a FLoyd fight in September since ramadan ends in mid july.

    Well how much time did Pacman and Mayweather train before their super fight?

    By all accounts, it seems like they had about 2 months of training before the fight.

    So yes, 58 days should be more than enough, especially considering Khan has been training on and off since his last fight with Virgil Hunter in CA.

    This is a problem for Mayweather.

    Canelo? no-one wants that and Canelo will prob face Cotto next

    Thurman? not a PPV generating fight and dangerous

    Garcia? not a ppv generating fight and danny looked awful

    Golovkin? i think there are challenged here too

    bradley? if Tim wins? i mean, not a terribly exciting fight but who else

    Not after 30 days of fasting for 20 hours a day, your body changes. You need at least a month to get back to normal.

    It wouldn't be a matter of training camp for an entire 58 days. :patsch

    Nobody ever needs 58 day training camps. That is two full months, you realize? 6-7 weeks is considered "on the long side" for a world class pro, you get that, right?

    He could literally take a full month to recover from the rigors of his cult's rituals and still have a full month to prep, ample time mind you, for the biggest, most lucrative fight of his career.

    u really believe that mayweather and pacman were chilling before the fight was announced? they were training leading up to announcement

    as poster said above, u r going from 20 hour fast to training for the fight of ur life, i dont think that would be a good idea

    mayweather khan wont happen, but khan brook will

    Khan has fought in September before, a few times I believe. The last time he did he was blasted out by Prescott inside 60 seconds and I'm sure he said after he would never do September again.

    Mayweather has no excuse at all for avoiding The Special One down.

    Dumping all his belts is a duck.
