    As a Brit and Khan fan, I'd love to see you come over here to stage a fight. But not without giving us the other more important fight first. Manny Pacquiao is the guy you need to face. Not Khan.

    Pussywheather only fights once a year, meaning he won't be fighting Pacman.

    He really believes Pacquiao is on the juice. There's no denying how highly the Mayweathers, including FLoyd, think of Manny Pacquiao.

    I'd hope so but probably not. if you haven't already noticed Mayweather is a walking contradiction

    last year vs Mosley Floyd gave up a perfectly good chance to add a WBA title and claimed he was above the title belts and didn't need them

    yet look at the contradiction in his quote

    so vs Mosley it was "the titles are meaningless I don't need them"

    and now it's he needs more titles

    ? why should Mayweather get props for saying he's interested?

    IMO he'd get more props if he actually fought outside the U.S. or took on Martinez

    talk is cheap

    the last time Mayweather fought more than once in a year was 2007 when he took on Hatton + De La Hoya.

    Getting this Ortiz fight in for 2011 could set up Floyd for a big 2012, but again it's just talking

    he has to put his money where his mouth is

    Unfortunately, you may be right, but I can wish can't I. I'll even add to that wish and say Martinez May 2013--MGM

    although that combination of fights feels about as unlikely as me winning the lottery, but I'll keep the faith.
