    I think Berto is just a easy fight(as far as preparation) to end the contract.

    Noone is ducking Khan the way I see it is this, since coming back in 09 everybody Mayweather has picked has been coming off big wins that peaked public interest.

    The problem with Khan and alot of these new fighters is they aren't trying to get that big win, they rather talk there way into a fight.

    That's one reason why I got respect for guys like Alvarez,Garcia close fight's or not these guy's are going after the tough fight's.

    Compare Alvarez to Khan they told Canelo not to fight Trout, just like they told Khan not to fight a lot of guy's recently. Look at how each situation was handled and you'll see why some of these guy's haven't gotten the Big Fight yet.

    Khan against Berto would be interesting.and i have to say i would favour Berto.just because he would take risks and eventually would catch Khan.

    Khan is okay but not great

    Everybody in the business can timed Khans flurry and hit him. Floyd would play with Khan.

    That's how it works with top fighters. People always try to find the next bogeyman.

    When was the last time Floyd fought someone who had no momentum going.

    This. Floyd gains absolutely nothing from fighting Khan now. Connor had a giant MMA following that he brought to the table.

    He could fight Thurman or Spence.
    Spence has never moved his head in the ring and Thurman is quite limited when it comes to setting up his offense(barely has any defense).

    Berto but that was just to finish out his fight deal with CBS/Showtime plus he just had the mega fight with Pac.

    Khan would UD Floyd. Too fast, too high work rate. Khan is a master at winning rounds. That's why Floyd ignored the fans' clear mandate and ducked Khan.

    Khan is a front runner with a **** ring IQ who does the same thing from the beginning of fight to the end. There's little variation to his game. Even now PBF would figure Khan out in 3 rounds or less and go to work on his ass.

    More importantly, he brought no risk to the table

    Khan would humiliate and humble cowardly Mayweather

    Floyd recently killed all rumors about a ring return. He said no matter who it is or how much money is on the table, he's retired. I don't think Khan has a shot to change Floyd's mind.
