    Khan's my favorite fighter, I can create the thread if I like, but that doesn't mean I like the fight. I'm just giving my honest opinion of the fight if it actually happened.

    Why would he fight spadafora if his goal is to hang onto his 0?

    Garcia has unfinished business at 140 (Matthysse) and Alexander does nothing to captivate anyone as a PPV attraction.

    Mayweather/Alexander on CBS I could dig, but how are they going to pay Floyd his 32 million? This really is a **** deal for Showtime, even if May/Guerrero did do over 1 mil.

    If khan can beat the likes of brook or Alexander before hand then I'll be in favour of the matchup.

    But going life and death with Diaz doesn't make him a top welter.

    The only reason that Khan is even mentioned is bc Floyd wants to fight in the UK. If Brook would stop getting hurt in training and could have whipped Devon then Floyd would be going there to fight him. Floyd wants to fight over there for one of these 5 fights but Khan is not the guy.
     
  11. Are you telling me you wouldn't love to this fight?

    People harp on mayweather opposition, but the truth is its rarely been that bad, and who he has fought has almost always, besides jmm, been defendable to some extent. As of now though, there is no credibility whatsoever in a Khan fight.

    Should Khan beat Alexander, it will gain some.... but as of right now a Khan fight is an embarrassing choice for Floyd.

    Well I can't stand khan so seeing him being stopped and dominated would be something I would love.

    However it doesn't stop it being a very **** fight.
