    Being that they are both represented by Golden Boy, and Arum is nowhere in sight, I would say yes. And I wouldn't be surprised if they opted to have it in the UK - probably Wembley.
     
  3. i dont think the fight will happen , i think mayweather is in the top 10 of all time and i think khans overated buti think hes slower at welter all of these troubles with the law plus rogers troubles with the law mean atleast a years wait before u even here about a fight , and thats more time for khan to get quicker and mayweather will get slower , he wont fight again u can believe that . ( although i think mayweather would win if it did happen just to much of a risk for him to bother )

    Kahn is a smaller guy with a big fan following. That seems to be Mayweather's preference.

    Yes. I could definitely see this in Wembley 2010 in the Summer.

    Yes Dec 2011
     
  10. Pacquiao has been a ****ing monster going back to his last 6 fights.

    Khan comfortably, not dominated/destroyed, a faded Malignaggi.

    So yes, of course.

    :hi:

    :huh Explain. Since when has Floyd Mayweather seriously attempted to fight in the UK? It wont happen. Not least because Khan is going to get the shock of his life this saturday.

    He wouldnt fight Ricky Hatton over here and Hatton actually had fans to make it worthwhile.

    ....and in the unlikely event this fight did happen, it would be like a father playing with his son. Mayweather making Khan look like a stupid little boy

    bit late for that mate...

    i'd like to see the fight made, it'd be an intriguing bout. As i've said before on this site, IF Pac v PBF happens, the main advantage pac would have is having Khan as a sparring partner as he has a very similar skillset to PBF (i'm not saying he's as good as PBF, but similar) so a fight between Khan and PBF would be interesting.

    Yup.. I was thinking the same thing. We all know Floyd doesn't like to fight guy's in his own weight class. He'll look to fight Khan at 147. After that he'll probably want to fight Matthew Hatton in the UK and try to market it as Matthew trying to exact revenge for Ricky getting beat. Pathetic.. Floyd will do anything not to fight Manny.

    Don't say won't. It's Boxing. Anything can happen.

    Why wouldn't Floyd fight in the UK? He's always given mentions of him fighting abroad in the UK but it's never really come to.

    It's unlikely, but if he doesn't fight Pacquiao in early 2011, then he'll need to fight someone, and Khan will fit that bill.

    I don't disagree. Mayweather would toy with Khan (right now).
