He should fight Thurman if he's the best ever he's a way more credible opponent then Khan

But we all know how Floyd does it at the end of the day lol

Just like he wouldn't beat PAC right? That was your prediction now you're full of excuses. I and others told you for years that pbf was gonna school him and he did.

Floyd: "Yo Stephen A., tell em I'll give that midget a rematch!"
Stephen A: "Hey guys, Floyd just said he'd give Pacquiao a rematch."
ESPN: "Floyd Mayweather just told Stephen A. Smith that he will give Manny Pacquiao a rematch."
Al Haymon: "Floyd, what the f*** are you thinking! You really think people are gonna buy the rematch if you just give it to them like that?!?! Tell em the rematch is off."
Floyd: "The rematch is off. I changed my mind."

His Gray interview was CLEARLY an attempt to drum up some anger in the public to create demand for a rematch.

yes

what they're not counting on is that I ain't even mad

Yep, this is the plan.

Khan is a stay busy fight for Floyd. No threat, and Floyd may even get a KO victory.

Pac will be a big cash send off for Floyd. And for Pac.

Not at all. Kell Brook has a better chance at beating Floyd than Khan. Khan will be a walk in the park, and Floyd will win by KO as a bonus. Khan is a hypejob and has no chance.

Thurman might have a decent chance against Khan, but there's no way he has any chance against Mayweather. Again, styles make fights.

Not you again. Your like a really cheap action toy. Only three phrases in their vocabulary.

Guys...Amir Khan????

He was sh!t against Limond. He got dropped...by Limond.
He was sh!t against Prescott. He got ktfo, and it was funny.
He was sh!t against McCloskey. Remember that fight? It was embarrassing.
He was sh!t against Peterson. He deserved the point deductions, and the knockdowns were pushdowns. He got outboxed, period.
He was sh!t against Garcia. He got ktfo, and it was funny.
He was sh!t against Diaz. He got dropped. By Diaz.

Who has he even looked decent against?

Paulie? Ok, but...it's Paulie.
Maidana? Ok, if you call that decent. But it's Maidana...shut out by Alexander, dropped 3x by Ortiz, worked over by Morales and Kotelnik, hurt by JSK and Josesito, and ultimately the posessor of exactly ONE semi-good win: Broner.
Collazo? Ok, but Collazo is old and has exactly ZERO quality wins alongside losses to Berto and Freddy Hernandez.
Alexander? Who was beaten by Bradley, Matthysse, and Porter? Whose best wins are Maidana and Kotelnik?

You guys can't be serious if you think Khan has a chance in hell. Newsflash: There are levels to this sh!t. Khan has proven time and time again that he struggles at B-level.

The top 7 at welterweight are clearly above Khan's level:
-Floyd dominates him every which way and drops him more times than Corrales.
-Brook knocks him out with a jab.
-Manny treats him like a weaker version of Algieri.
-Bradley bombs him out.
-JMM replicates KTFO6, but better.
-Thurman one-times him.
-Porter steamrolls him.
Numbers 8 and 9 seem right about exactly at Khan's level.
-Diego Chaves has more than a good chance of stopping Khan.
-Guerrero would probably lose, but he might grind Khan to death like Peterson did.
-I have Khan replacing Alexander at Number 10.
Numbers 11-19 are solid opponents for Khan's level
-Alexander already got outboxed.
-Maidana probably stops him in a rematch.
-Berto would probably get outworked, but the KO could happen.
-Josesito should get outboxed, but a counterpunch KO is a real possibility.
-Collazo already got outboxed.
-Ortiz would probably quit in some absurd way, but the KO could happen.
-JSK would get outboxed.
-Zaveck would get outboxed.
-Bundu would get outboxed.

And then down at 140...

The top 4 are clearly out of reach:
-Garcia already knocked him out hilariously and would do it again.
-Matthysse would kill him.
-Peterson would outbox him again.
-Crawford would treat him like a less-skillful version of Gamboa.
Numbers 5-8 are 50-50 fights (aside from Ruslan):
-Algieri MIGHT beat him. He shouldn't, but stranger things have happened.
-Provodnikov would kill him.
-Rios would probably catch him at some point.
-Broner would be a good fight. Khan might go all Paulie on him, but I sense Khan's defense and footwork aren't at Paulie's level and Broner would catch him with a counter.
Numbers 9-15 seem like comfortable wins:
-Herrera would get outspeeded.
-Benavidez would get outspeeded.
-Vargas would get outspeeded.
-Postol would get outspeeded.
-Figueroa might actually have a chance with that weird UFC cage-grinding style.
-Molina might actually catch him with something.
-Alvarado gets worked over and will still be a meth addict.

Khan is at best #8-#10 at welterweight, and he would have to go to war to truly keep that ranking. Chaves, Guerrero, and Maidana are all winnable fights for him, but far from the guaranteed Haymon Specials he's been handed lately. There's no way he goes higher until Floyd, Manny, and JMM retire. He'll never truly crack the top 5.

If he could make 140, he'd probably float around between #5-#8. Again, it would be a war for him. Broner, Rios, and Algieri are winnable, but Khan is not one to put together a sting of wins in "winnable" fights. He always loses one or two unexpected ones. And Provodnikov would actually kill him. Khan could only crack the top 5 if Garcia, Matthysse, and Peterson all move up. (And that would keep him way down the list at 147).

Khan is a B-Level fighter. He struggles to maintain a ranking in the lower-top-10, and his ceiling is outside the top 5. He will never be one of the 4 best in any division, meaning he will never have a legitimate title reign without ducking challenges. He exists solely for the purpose of giving us something to laugh at.

Mayweather has beaten many power-punchers like Kell Brook before. Kell is way too easy for Floyd. On the other hand, Mayweather has never fought a faster technical boxer like Khan before, so that would be a far more competitive fight for Floyd. And no, Floyd hasn't had a legit KO in 8 years, so there's fat chance of a KO against Khan. Styles make fights.

" . . .despite what his recent anti-Pacman rant might suggest, he has every intention of giving Pacquiao the rematch. While Mayweather is indeed miffed at Pacquiaos use of his injured rotator cuff as an excuse, going so far as to call Pac a coward, with the recent news that PPV sales could reach well over five million buys, his private feelings and rhetoric have changed considerably. In fact, his recent rant is seen by Team Mayweather and those that know him best as the beginning of the Mayweather-Pacquiao II promotional drive."

I think the second fight could be better in many different ways. One way specifically would be the promotion. They will most definitely promote this one more so than the last, and Mayweather may even come out of his shell and flamboyantly down-talk Pacquiao to build it up as high as possible. If that happens, then it could get really fun.

I'll be looking forward to going to Las Vegas early May 2016 to see my first Pacquiao fight and my first Mayweather fight. :happy

I really hope the rematch happens. After watching the fight live I didn't even want one as the fight didn't even look close. But rewatching with slow mo at some points has shown me that it actually was very close for the most part.
