    To paraphase his latest tweets:

    'I'm moving up to 147. I want Floyd. He won't be around forever. I'll rematch Peterson and Garcia at 147. Styles make fights, Judah's speed troubled Floyd but I took Zab out in 5.'

    Floyd injured his hand so Sept may be too soon. Ramadan and his wedding mean Khan was scheduled to be out in December anyway.

    Good luck to him I say.

    Why did he have to add that extra bit does this guy not think about what he says
    Khan got stopped in 4 by Garcia and Zab went the distance with Garcia

    Does he really think he has a chance against Floyd?
     
  3. Not a chance in hell of him ever getting that fight

    He tweeted that he's natural weight is 153 and that he's never been dropped at that weight.
    Kid's a moron

    khan forgets what would happen if floyd fought peterson or garcia or diaz for that matter at 140 or 147 as floyd could make 140 if he felt like it lets keep it honest. good fight due to khans nice fast hands but hel end up like :tired end of the evening

    If PBF doesn't take this fight, he's a total ducker. Can't blame him. He saw what Amir just done to Diaz:bbb

    Same promoters. Floyd and his team want it. Khan and his team want it. Khan ranked at #2 in WBC rankings (Floyd's belt). Khan is a name opponent that is always entertaining. Showtime will accept it. No interim bout for either so neither will lose beforehand*. This will probably be on a UK PPV outlet which makes Floyd even more than he did against Guerrerro or would against Alexander/Berto etc.

    EDIT: *If they want it to happen in May with Floyd fighting Canelo and Khan fighting 140 tourney winner/Alexander then there's a chance it won't.

    He will get the Mayweather fight at some stage.

    Floyd still probably regrets not playing hardball at the negotiating table with Hatton and ending up with pretty much a 50-50 split of the global pot for the fight.

    Can see it now - ''all you done is beat guys that are over the hill, or bums, you won't sell ****, man.... keep that chump change punk''

    ''Owite mate, deaw''

    He's not going to make that mistake again, even though Khan will never do 1m+ buys at 4am in a million years.

    Khan knows he loses but he wants that payday and do you blame him?

    The fight is going to happen even though it is a joke.
