    I honestly feel Pac Man aside Amir has the best chance against Floyd.
    Khan will win rounds he is quick and if he can stay on his feet for 12 rounds the judges will have a job to do.
    FMJ still huge favorite as he would be against anyone except pac but Khan does have a chance at an upset or to at least make it close on the cards

    Zero chance! This matchup is an insult to Floyds fans and to boxing fans everywhere.

    "How do you have someone [like Khan] fight someone who is the best fighter in the world. He has to be an elite fighter. I don't think Amir Khan has earned the right credentials to be in the ring with Mayweather. Look at me, I'm supposedly a washed up fighter, out the door, and look what I did [to Khan] - and after me he comes against Mayweather?

    -Julio Diaz"


    If Pac doesn't deserve Floyd then at least fight someone better than Khan, the fans deserve some respect too.

    I agree but Khan is a big name,is exciting to watch and will make it interesting for a few rounds and it will probably be Mayweathers most exciting fight in years..

    I agree but the thing is this. Golden boy invested heavily in Khan as a Floyd opponent. Once it all came crashing down, they had to recoup their losses. Boxing is a business and this fight makes financial sense. Once Khan is beaten, he will have served gbp purpose and they can rest easy and move on..

    This fight is no worth 60 bucks .. When Khan's own trainer does not believe Khan can win because of his work ethics alone, and his lack of dedication to boxing .. Its a wrap !! Go home a practice, and come back when you have something to offer.

    But... but... but Khan is on Floyd's level isn't he. He must be if Floyd fights him. :bart

    When Khan fought Diaz he was weight drained from making the weight, he wasn't at his best. At 147 khan will be a beast, a young hungry lion, a rejuvenated undefeated killer, that's all Diaz need to know.

    The only reason I see Floyd fighting Kahn is to gauge how he does against a fast fighter, before he fighting someone like pac.

    he has done this before in the past.

    That's right Julio. Had you really wanted a fight with Floyd (or Manny) you should have taken the dive

    To be honest if the alternative if Maidana I'd rather have Khan.

    Let's not get ahead of ourselves Maidana beat Broner and Diaz himself would've knocked Broner out.
