    That's not what we're talking about here. The issue is who is a bigger threat. Just because other fighters also have a slim chance does not justify fighting a no hoper like Khan.

    Khan has never been knocked down at 147. No blueprint.

    People are delutoinal if they believe Khan is that much of a threat to Floyd. This dude has been KO by lesser fighters, he can't stay consistant if his life depended on it.

    floyd, cannot be dictated to by fans or showtime, espinoza said he has no power of veto over opponents. furthermore, he believes that khan is a threat, lunacy. danny garcia , declined right. Is it floyds fault that he is more gifted than these guys, that the only way to see him tested is to go outside his own division, where his body is not suited to it? HOPKINS, MARTINEZ, JONES,GGG, NEVER MENTION WARD. WHY IS THIS PLEASE, BUT MENTION FLOYD?

    Floyd is to good for his own good. The fact that he has a ****y attitude isn't giving him any points either. Still what he does in the ring should be appreciated, because his talent comes around once or possibly twice a generation. When you look at how easy he pick a guy apart, and then see that same guy give so many other fighters trouble. In my eyes that is impressive.

    I wanna see entertaining fights. I don't really care if somebody has earned this or that. Besides, Khan has earned it by getting himself into a position where he brings enough money to the table.

    But ur not a Floyd Fan......
    If Floyd Hardcore fans are against this fight..Trust me it wont happen!!!

    Floyd fans and Most Casuals see Floyd Fights as "Mayweather" events...Dude isn't fighting for a Place in the Hall of Fame Anymore....
    And as Long as his Fans Love him & Support him he can care what the **** ya'll think!!! #fact.....

    its like Jordan Selling the same Sneakers every 2 years for $20 more than the Last time..Must ppl ask what sense does that make for the same ppl to keep buying the same shoe over and over.....#hardcore fans

    I went to the Ghost fight and the **** was Buzzing The who's who of the Hollywood world was there.


    If he was Still fighting for a Spot in the HOF, Or Living Check to check I think he would Def fight..GGG, Ward, B-Hop if he had to beat anyone of those dudes to become A Cash Cow/PPV king...But After the Canelo Fight...The ****ing Sports world is on this dude's Nuts!!!

    They use to Boo him at NBA games Now dude gets cheers :lol:

    Of course it's a joke but as Mayweather said, it's about working smart, it's about taking as little punishment as possible for the highest reward. i.e., it's about taking on a glass-chinned Khan who wobbles when the wind blows and not about fighting someone who throws 70 punches per round

    He will do fine. Mayweather will take a couple rounds to get acclimated to the situation and then will turn up the heat once he sees openings. If Danny was able to counter Khan, Mayweather will be able to do easily. in first 3-4 rounds Khan may win a couple rounds. Khan's biggest weakness has and will always be his chin. Despite Mayweather not being a top ko artist, he has power to keep fighters honest. And you don't need that much power to hurt Khan, imo. Mayweather by UD or late stoppage (10th rd)
