    Khan is nothing special. Floyd gain nothing if he win.

    Ortiz was the WBC champion at the time

    Id be happy to see the fight but i like watching boxing. I enjoy watching Floyd even though i know in advance he is guna be irratatingly none offensive.

    But before last night i didnt believe in the nonsense about Khans speed being the key to getting the better of Floyd. After last night my view is no different.

    I saw Khans knees go, just a little but they did go for a second twice last night against somebody who isnt as accurate, well timed or hits as hard as Floyd. Not saying Floyds got big power but if he can KO somebody like Hatton he can KO Khan.

    I can 100% say I would not buy or even watch Mayweather Vs Khan.
    It is less competitive that Haye Vs Harrison.

    Khan shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence and Khan fans should be insisting Khan fights Brook (if Brook wins, wouldn't it be funny if Gavin won) and prove he is the best WW in the UK before even thinking Mayweather.

    Where that top 5came?yes,in UK he is probably top5.

    But you honestly think Amir is in same class with Floyd,Manny,Miguel and Saul?

    And you put him ahead of the likes of Wladimir,Gennady,Sergei,Carl,Bernard etc..

    Khan fans are more delusional than Pacquaio fans

    The more I think about the more I doubt the Floyd-Khan fight happens. When was the last time Floyd didn't fight somebody that was looking dangerous or coming off a huge win that wasn't a tune up?

    Khan won well last night, but nowhere near well enough to get his dream fight.

    He must fight Khan to be accused of cherry-picking for years? Because that's what fighting Khan would be, a cherrypick.

    A typical top 5 fighter indeed.

    Talent and skill wise top 5? No way! I've seen guys in the local gyms better than Khan but I'm talking about as a name in the sport and this forum which has posters from all over the world on a night where he fights a part time student on a week night and it's not even shown on TV yet everyone talks about it proves he is like it or not one of the top top names in the sport.
