Can someone remind me why Khan deserves a WW title shot before Thurman or Porter?

    Porter would be unification and Thurman would be the mandatory for Mayweather-Maidana winner.

    Khan's recent body of work is not as good not to mention Thurman just stopped the guy Khan had a very close fight with.

    And all this talk about khan being a draw - i was at the garcia-khan fight and i saw a handful of khan fans. Also, gbp have a deal with bonxation so it would not be on ppv.

    Floyd and the gang are great businessmen

    Khan IS a big name. That's why.

    Boxing is a business, and has been for many years.

    It's all about the money, not who deserves a shot.

    if you start worrying about who deserves what in boxing you'll end up in an early grave.

    see above. It's all about business

    Porter already has a title, but I agree with you he hasn't even fought at 147 and he gets a title shot, I guess it is all about the british money he brings

    Khan is, though he's looked worse for wear lately, and Maidana has improved

    still, both are weak options for a Floyd opponent

    Maidana, despite being a complete mismatch, holds a legit title, and also has a winning streak of decent second tier guys lately

    this is also hipocracy from Floyd, to whom belts apparently don't mean ****, yet he picked Maidana because he has a belt over Khan who is only a former title holder who's 2-2 in his last 4 fights
