    Mayweather looked terrible against Mcgregor, he should stay retired

    back to the thread topic.

    i'll give you a follow on there bro and subscribe.

    khan has come across really well to the public in the UK with his stint on 'im a celebrity get me out of here' - (Australian jungle reality show) so i think he has a good enough profile with the casual fans again to sell well ni the uk.
    Floyd wont make big bucks just on the UK audience though. Not sure it will happen tho. floyd has said he isnt fighting again today so not to sure.

    good work tho

    I think this is more wishful thinking. I haven't seen any evidence of this being on the cards. What's going on behind the scenes then ??

    I just watched your channel and subscribed. I'd love to see this fight even at this stage, but I just cant see it..It aint an easy payday though seeing Mayweather against McGregor, unless he was pulling his punches !

    Tony was railroaded as you well know. NOTHING illegal or dangerous was found in the wraps.. Mosely was juiced to the gills AGAIN !!!!!! Tony was sick
    Notice you didn't mention the Froid soiling his pants in fear at the sight of Tony ?
    Kinda hard to do when its on video The camera doesn't lie Your idol was a cheating coward Floyd:couch: "Has Margarito gone yet cam I come out" ?? :gey:

    Mayweather he saw Khan as low reward high risk to losing so never entertained fighting khan

    Khan has the speed and boxing brain to outpoint and make Floyd look bad

    imagine him darting in and out?

    Khan is also the fighter who is motivated the bigger the task.

    Floyd hasn't got one thing that would be a disaster for Khan and that is POWER
    if you aint got that forget about beating Khan

    Floyd wouldn't have the power to hurt khan

    I also thought this would be a tough fight for Floyd. Floyd always had trouble with speed, most fighters do. And Khan's chin should hold up against Mayweather's power. Too bad it never happened.

    Khan is fast, but he's predictable, and his defense was even worse back then. Floyd would definitely hit him.

    If Garcia and Canelo can time Khan, Floyd definitely can.

    He hits hard enough to lower Khan's output. Khan's defense is bad.

    Floyd also has a better inside game than Khan.

    Back in the day Mayweather's word was that he'd let the fans pick his next opponent. The fans picked Amir Khan, but Mayweather said screw the fans, and fought Robert Guerrero instead.

    The package of height, reach, and speed beyond that of his, Mayweather don't want that.
    That simple!!

    If Khan were to use the same gameplan he used against Canelo, circle the ring and flurry, its Khan all day winning an easy UD against the Mayweather of the last several years.
    Prime Mayweather of several years past, below 147 lbs is a different story.

    Khan lost against Canelo because he doesn't have the ring IQ Floyd does. Canelo set traps and Khan fell for them.
