    To be fair it was a massive disadvantage facing a guy who just got embarrassed, worst time to fight someone like Algieri, kinda like the anti-cherry pick, sometimes guys never recover from a whitewash like the Pacquiao fight, sometimes they spring back up to regain some self respect and credibility, tons of credit to chris for that, Khan's a solid fighter but he ought to be putting a beating on Algieri if he believes he is on the elite level. It'd be interesting to see him get in with someone who can crack as I think he gets stopped by floyd.

    I actually think Khan might get knocked out, if he bothers May enough, and if May decides to end his points win streak.

    Obviously, the fight will tell, but from what I've seen, Khan is just too simple of a fighter for May. He doesn't have the power to trouble May and make him fight cautiously, and he definitely doesn't have the ring iq to outplay him.

    all of them came off exciting fights and looked good.

    amir khan has not.

    there is no public cry for floyd to fight khan. (actually the population in bolton do but thats about it) :) TV networks and boxing media are not talking about floyd fighing khan either.

    khan has had numerous attempts to make a statement and look real good but has blown it every time.

    It doesn't make sense arguing with Tj, Typhoon, and CJ since all of them are morons and die hard paceman fans.

    I don't think they looked any better than Khan looked against Alexander.

    There wasn't a public cry for Floyd vs Ortiz, Guerrero and Maidana 1 either.

    His statements against Paulie, Judah and Alexander were just as good as any statement Ortiz, Guerrero or Maidana made prior to fighting Floyd.

    It seems people will buy any Floyd fight.

    Maidana floyd was meant to be a mismatch

    I'd be interested in Khan Floyd if Khan has a proper training camp

    but 6 weeks straight after Ramadan? ...Wouldn't really say that's enough for the biggest fight of his life.

    I'd rather see Thurman.

    Or Lara.

    But Khan would probably be my third choice.
