    But he only fights tune ups. He wont fight any one unless he has every advantage. He need to put the controversy to rest & fight Paquaio 50/50.
    Then people might stop calling him a coward

    And Money's "Let's hype up another guy who really has no chance" routine has begun... Not blaiming Floyd, he's just doing his job and he's just too good for his own good.

    hokay CJ Ross. NO way Floyd agrees to 50/50. 475K PPV in Asia a few hours from his country? If Bob and Pac think they are getting 50/50, this fight will never be made.

    Crap fight. Khan has the worst chin in boxing, has lost 2 out of his previous 4 fights, and is a broken self-doubting fighter since his loss to Garcia.

    Brandon has never "iced" anybody north of 135. Alvarado was accumulated punishment, and beat him in a rematch. And even at 135, he needed to be much larger than his opponent to get a stoppage typically.

    People acting like Rios has one punch KO power at 140 or 147 need to lay off the drugs. The guy hasn't proven **** above 135 except that he can be beat by Mike Alvarado.

    And I'm not trashing Alvarado, he's a good fighter.... but let's be real here, the guy isn't a "world beater" and I doubt Alvarado would have ever beat Khan at 140.

    Does Khan have much of a chance? Me thinks not.

    I don't blame Money though, he picks guys that are sellable, and Khan brings legions of fans who believe in him.

    Perfect foe for someone who called himself a rich coward so don't know what all the fuss is about. If you don't like to watch a scared fighter then don't watch.

    Money's job is not to find a fighter who can actually beat him. His job is to find a fighter whose *FANS* believe he can beat Floyd.

    It will be worse because Gatti could take a punch.

    Exactly. It's not like it's Rios. If you were 1 of the 450K who paid for it, joke was on you.

    The idea that Khan has "legions of fans" is a joke. Khan isn't even that popular in the UK. I bet Danny Garcia has more fans than Khan does.

    I've criticized Mayweather's weak opposition for years, but Canelo followed by Khan is pretty good to me.

    Bring on Khan!

    Floyd will destroy Khan in 4 rounds or less...
