    Garcia would be an easy fight to make, and sell well.
    Thuramn= more risk, and less reward.
    Lara=same.

    Garcia is however a big name, and while winning sometimes controversial decisions, is the guy who brings the most coin to the table most likely.
    Oh btw.......He ko'd Khan recently enough that Khan still seems lesser than Garcia overall.

    Can't he stock up on his ram madames throughout the year? That's what I'd be angling for if millions of $$$ were at stake. :thumbsup

    fasting for 20 plus hours a day is very hard I fasted with my muslim friends to see how it is and its one the most difficult things I have done its hard on the body.

    No way he can jump back to training after the fast is finishes after the month I lost about 20 pounds

    Why do people keep comparing Khan from a few years ago instead of his last fight? You can CLEARLY see he has improved drastically, you are as good as your last fight. It took Khan 3-4 fights to transition from all the bad habits Roach instilled into him to what he is now, a skillful elite level boxer.

    Mayweather needs to fight Khan in the UK, then get stopped on the ropes by Howard Foster after a bombardment of pitty-patter punches

    So what?
    If you are a Muslim like he says he is then back then he was still observing Ramadan right?

    So if he has done it a few times already then why not again?

    For the ignorant: The month of Ramadan changes each year you muppets.

    Secondly: Virgil Hunter said he is unsure whether Floyd can even fight in September


    Funny how we have people crying in here who are still bemonaing about Khan but are actually happy if Floyd fights in Sept and Khan can't fight him because of that. :tired

    khan is 1000000x tougher opponent than pac could EVER be vs Floyd. Floyd style kills other fighters offenses unless you are HUGE and just maul him to the ropes and unload.

    khan actually would be his toughest fight, maybe thurmn could be tough but he telegraphs terribly which is a joke vs Floyd. khan is tough because he has the SAME reach but ALSO has big time height over Floyd with LEGIT jab. I want Floyd to stay far away from khan at this point.

    take Thurman out in on sided fashion over 12 rounds, probably get more props and would be much easier due to Thurman loading up on everything

    Actually, during Ramadan a muslim is supposed to get on with his ordinary duties and responsibilities, eg. work duties, family commitments, etc.

    The difference is fasting and swapping leisure time to devote to religion.
    A muslim is not supposed to use fasting as an excuse to avoid his work duties.
    A muslim is supposed to have faith that Ramadan will make him stronger and closer to Allah.

    Ramadan is 100% compatible with training camp.
    Boxing is just a job.
    And after training is done, a fighter is supposed to relax and live clean anyway, so you'd assume a muslim boxer would train and then spend some hours praying, reading Qu'ran, meditating etc.

    Amir Khan just likes to use it as an excuse for why he got iced by Prescott.

    I sense that Khan is angry at God for giving him a glass chin. :yep
