    Were he to get past Maidana impressively, would you support a fight between Floyd and Amir at WW with Amir not having been to 147 and with Floyd avoiding Pacquiao for a 3rd time?

    Is Khan's natural boxing talent enough to take on the master boxer? Amir seems to have a very solid pedigree but a D- chin. He does know how to box with very fast hands in a very technical fashion, but he himself lacks the power to put Floyd away in my opinion.

    ****weather 120-107, MAYBE Tko11, Con.

    And no, I don't support this AT ALL. #1 Khan isn't even close to the level of Assweather, and #2 Khan doens't deserve the matchup and everything that comes with the event.

    While personally I want him to put this Pac man stuff to rest first, I think this would be a challenging fight for PBF and I'd like to see more of the "vets" give the young guys a chance. That's one thing I respect BHop for, sure it's a risk, but it's how the torch gets passed. I'd like to see Alexander, Khan, Bradley, etc get their chance to make a run prior to being in their 30's. That being said, in this particular instance, I don't think it'd be all that wise, but I would buy it.

    Yeah, i'm huge on torch passing too.

    Ali did it. Leonard did it. Chavez did it. Robinson did it. Lennox ducked it. Calzaghe ducked it. Mayweather looks like he might duck it.

    If he fights the really good young lions and schools them (i think he schools amir) at least his legacy grows by bounds.

    This **** is starting to get too stupid. If they let Khan fight Floyd, GBP would do it after they build Khan up.

    Floyd's legacy wouldn't grow by schooling Khan right now, though his dick sucking fans will try to claim so if it does happen right now.

    How much would it really grow if he takes Khan's soul, and Amir never recovers from the loss? It'll be like picking on a little kid.

    Mayweather has about 5 legit opponents that are even worthy of taking him on. If he beats Khan in an exciting boxing match he does go up.

    Khan's only criticism is his chin, so if he gets past that with Maidana then he does go up drastically in public opinion.

    dude, Amir is trained by the #1 trainer, promoted by the biggest promotion and has the pedigree of a future super star.

    He is gonna be a future huge name, and he already gets talked about casually.

    What floyd gonna do if he won't fight pac? Take on Sergio or P dub?

    Khan is going to dominate Miadana easily. And the morons on this forums opinion about Khan will completely change as it always does for fighters after big victories. And im sure while many laugh now it will be considered a viable fight after Khans dominating performance.

    However Khan isnt ready.
