    Floyd?

    Does anyone see this happening? I see it has being very possible. Floyd always comes back for a big fight and I'm not talking Ortiz big. Both are fighting in Dec. Khan has stated various times he wants Floyd..we know hes not fighting Pac. I think Floyd might fight him before Pacman...if he does fight Pac at all.

    No?

    January would probably be the earliest for Mayweather-Khan to happen unless Golden Boy is already hammering out the details.

    I hope not. Khan's been on a really good run lately, and all that ends if he fights Floyd at the beginning of next year. At the very earliest it should be the end of 2012 in my opinion. Then whilst Khan still won't be ready, at least he'll put up a better fight.

    He needs one or two solid fights at 147 first, before making a step up like that.

    Floyd, at this stage of his career, seems content with fighting once or twice every 18 months. I doubt he'll want to come back to the ring so soon after Ortiz, and I doubt Khan's team will allow him to fight Mayweather without testing the waters and settling in the division first.

    I think it's defiantly a fight mayweather would take. Big money involved...a good name.. very beatable....

    Mayweather will absolutely take this. The question is will team khan want it that soon.
    It's far too good to be true for this to happen next. Khan will fight someone soft at 147 first

    My prediction...mayweather beats him up badly because he's pacquiao friend. Floyd isn't losing to the likes of Amir khan unless it happens when floyd is about 40
