    true

    I never thought of Khan as a greatly skilled fighter. His hardcore believers misidentify fast hands and movement as skills

    Hahaha, good point there...

    This.

    Canelo or Garcia. (or guys we know won't happen like Lara, Trout, and... well... that's pretty much it; pretty shitty when the list of good opponents is 4 deep and 3 of them aren't in his division)

    ---

    The redeeming quality is that it would be an international PPV fight which would generate a lot of interest on both sides of the pond. And that there will be drama in the fight (as Khan's fights almost always do).

    ---


    But a win over Khan would be his worst victory since Sharmba Mitchell in 2005 in terms of what it does for his resume and legacy...

    I'd be happy but I wouldn't pay for it, it'd be over in less than three and a complete waste of money

    Khan is terrible so no. And it won't happen. Mayweather typically fights someone coming off a big win.

    Man it has to be Garcia over Khan, Khan getting this shot ahead of Garcia makes no sense.

    I'm going to be honest the personal perspective of being able to see the fight live would trump any misgivings I have about it.

    Wont happen next.
    It cant, Khan will be in the middle of Ramadan.

    If Khan goes and beats Alexander in December,well then that might be a different matter.

    Only happy if I got to go see Mayweather stop Khan LIVE. Other than that, Khan hasn't earnt the right to share the squared circle with Mayweather.

    Like many people have pointed out, the revenue isn't there for Mayweather to take the fight.

    The time difference would see UK fans walking away from this fight and less people in the US would buy it anyway. Gate, Site Fee, PPV all these would suffer and means less $$$ for Floyd.

    Its not happening.
