    khan should have done more in the last few years, quite why he's declined DA when he had the IBF now brook is unclear and frankly bizarre.

    However, who has done enough to deserve a mayweather fight at 147?

    ideally brook, khan, Thurman and Bradley, should have had a mini tournament to determine the best of the rest, and the winner will deserve to fight mayweather.

    the only think on khans side is he's well known-certainly in the UK, and to casuals they can show him beating maidana and Judah in a better fashion then Floyd did which may convince some he's going to beat Floyd.

    I think Floyd would embarrass Khan.

    If Khan would beat Brook then I'd be more okay with the Khan vs Mayweather talk. But no, he picks Algieri and has to grind out a win.

    Stylistically Khan is a slightly tougher fight than Garcia, possibly, but on paper in 20 years I really feel people looking back would determine Danny Garcia is even a better/more meaningful victory. That's how overhyped Khan is as a Mayweather opponent. I do not get it. It seemed sure fire but Khan has nobody to blame but himself for not getting into a position of relevance for this shot that he has clamored so much for.

    I honestly think Khan is tailor made for Floyd...

    1. He is non-puncher. (i mean look at floyd's last 10 opponents....they're almost all pretty big punchers)

    2. doesn't move his head

    3. is easy to tag flush when you punch with him, and few have better timing/countering ability than floyd

    4. has no chin.

    Khan can't outbox Floyd.

    I want to take back my vote LMAO.

    I'd be happy to stick with it if Khan had enough time to train properly for a Floyd fight...but he ain't gonna be ready.

    Mayweather needs to man up & fight without the Vegas/NSAC corruption. Give an opponent an even playing field just for ONCE!!!

    You're right. No way is an even scorecard for his Canelo and Maidana I fights acceptable.
