    If floyd can handle people saying he's scared of pac for six years then a Khan problem is no problem

    Khan brings more attention, Brook brings the IBF title. I think going for Brook would be better because the fight will be for the WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO titles. Mayweather knows at this stage, especially after the insane publicity of the Pacquiao fight, whoever he fights people will tune in regardless.

    To be fari though, at least Khan fought far better opposition. Brook only has one name opponent on his resume. It's definitely a gutsy fight/move from Brook since he went to Porter's backyard, but it still remains only one.

    But who else is there?
    Bradley is tied up with TR. Brook, Khan and Thurman are the top names at welterweight who are viable options.
    Will thurman take that fight on 2 months after Collazo?

    And Khan fought who at welter? Algieri and Alexander? Those aren't even top 5 Welters then he gets a shot at the number 1?

    As much as I hate Khan's sense of entitlement to this fight, I can't really think of a reason why Brook deserves Floyd payday more than him.

    At the very least, Khan has fought much better opposition (in fact, he rarely shies away from a dangerous fight) than Thurman and Brook combined. Bradley is on par, but is coming off a draw and a loss and might need a decent win to get back into mix.

    At the end of the day, Floyd-Khan and Floyd-PacII are the most likely fights, even though I'd love to see him fight Bradley. This could be the best match-up at WW right now.

    Just to see the look on khans face.

    I do actually think though that brook because of his variety could cause mayweather a few problems. Still mayweather should win.

    At this point, Floyd needs to take a real challenge like GGG.

    Both Khan and Brooks are easy wins for Floyd.

    He has fought better opposition, but he's lost to them. Porter is a better win than anything khans done in the last 4 years.

    How great would it be for Floyd announce that Khan must face Brook and the winner gets a shot at him. Would be absolutely hilarious.Khan would retire.

    If the cherry picker Floyd fought Brook next I'd be shocked
