    Khan's bully mentality will backfire when he realizes Floyd is not shot like its made out to be reading the posts from idiots on this board.

    Khan will be Mayweather's first KO since Ortiz.

    If Floyd gets that check hook on Khan, it most certainly will be enough to win the fight.

    Maybe Khan would make Floyd go back to being "Pretty Boy Floyd".

    So if Khan thinks, as most people do, that Floyd has lost half a step, he shouldn't fight him? He shouldn't go after a guy who's still the best fighter in the world?

    I can't even imagine the reaction if Khan rejected this fight because he only wanted to fight an absolute peak Mayweather and wouldn't be able to sleep at night if he beat him at this point.

    you really are the mvc of britian :bbb.. i like your enthusiasm.

    money v khan is a decent match up

    even in the post match discussion .. paulie, kenny, ranallo (in particular) are interested in seein khan in there... al said let's face it if khan didn't have speed and a name then no one would want to see it... it's worth seeing something different for a change in my opinion....

    these are 2 fights mayweather wasted out of 6 fighting maidana... a guy the WORLD knew has NO (zero, nada, etc.) chance of beating mayweather... at least with khan we know he can pull a few rounds and make things interesting.... would love to se bradley vs money and of course pac although 2009 pac could have mayweather in tourble

    I don't think that anybody is saying that Khan shouldn't pursue the fight. But publicly stating that youthink you can beat a guy because he's slowed down is a pretty bad look, don't you think?

    On a side note, he may in fact be right. To me mayweather looks like he's slowing down something fierce. He even said he didnt feel sharp himself, which kind of writing it on the wall.

    I think it's being honest. Would Cotto have jumped up to Middleweight to face a Martinez who was still in/near his peak?

    99% of fighters go on for too long and a young guy in the right place at the right time comes along and takes him out. It's the way it's always been in boxing.

    what a crock of **** your telling me a fighter who got floored by a lightweight recently is going to be the guy who beats mayweather?! amir has speed but what ****ing good is it when even garcia timed him and knocked him senseless with a ******ed hook, floyd would be hitting him with accurate well timed shots all night long the whole occassion would get to khan never mind the actual fight his brain will crash and he will get reckless yet again

    In fact I dont even know why I am typing this out people need to have a reality check YES floyd is looking beatable right now but lets get real he would toy with khan and expose his flaws worse than any one

    amir khan to beat floyd what a joke

    That's weird I thought the light welterweight limit was 140, anything above this I.e 143 was classed as welterweight right up to 147.

    Unless the weight limits have changed overnight or Ive somehow woke up in a entirely different galaxy.

    No way Khan outboxes Floyd.
