    The same way beating Berto and Broner got people a shot at Floyd.

    How does beating Broner get you a shot ? who did Gurreoro beat to get a shot ?
    Wasn't Hattons only win at 147 before the FGloyd fight against Collazo as well ?

    Wards resume is very poor A decent Froch a past it Kessler and a Weight drained Dawson do not a good resume make

    Khan has a better resume than Ward

    boxing is a business, the goal is the make money. Mayweather at this point is fighting to honor his contract, so its about who's going to sell the most. Its unfortunate but it is the way it is. Bar facing pacquiao of course.

    Oh no! Not another tough Internet thug, I'm so terrified from the profanity that I'm reading...

    pac fought 5 of the same guys Floyd has fought...Hatton, Oscar, Cotto, Mosley and Marquez, 3 of which Floyd had already previously beaten, and one Floyd totally dominated and shut out (Marquez) who Pac could never beat decisively and was brutally KO'ed by....

    You say Bradley a better win than any on Floyd Resume, I think not, Bradley is about as good a win as Canelo, sure Tim has a good resume but ironically his best win is Pac, whether you think he won or not it's a W in the books...

    Now getting a controversial loss at the Olympics is a bad thing even when you still medal, where is Pacs medal, he won fighter of the decade because he's a puppet, people's champ who says all the right things so people can like him...

    Barrera is a good win for Pac but no different than a Genaro Hernandez win for Floyd, Morales Is also a good win for Pac but he beat Manny the first fight and is no better a win than Diego Corrales for Floyd...

    You're talking like there's no comparison, I'll take Floyds 45-0 resume over Mannys 54-5-2 resume without hesitation especially since Manny has been KO'ed 3 timed, under suspicion for drinking mysterious shakes...but don't ask Manny about it, you have to talk to his promoter cause he's a fukking Muppet...

    I don't think it will get Khan the fight.

    Floyd can always:
    1. Call Garcia up from 140.
    2. Get the winner of Cotto vs. Martinez for the middleweight title.
    3. Collect the 3rd belt from the winner of Porter vs. Brook.

    Khan's next step if he beats Collazo is probably the Maidana rematch or someone like Thurman. Floyd is going to get paid no matter who he fights, and Khan probably won't bring in the British big bucks like Khan thinks he will. Floyd will probably want to get that 3rd belt to further marginalize Pacquiao, but it would be pretty g if he got the middleweight title.

    lol Ward won the super 6 Khan has maybe fought better opposition but he hasn't beaten better opposition. Wad has the better resume.

    Floyd almost gave Khan the match without him having beat Collazo, so apparently it's not based on whether he beats Collazo but, sure won't help him if he loses to him. And unfortunately for Collazo it's highly doubtful he gets a Floyd fight with a win, as it's probably the kind of money he's long deserved already.

    All mute points.

    Fact is that Khans overall body of work is very good and highly regarded.

    His wins outweigh his losses, and if he comes out a winner over Collazo, he deserves the shot, especially since Roid guaranteed him the fight if he dumped the Alexander fight.

    Khan would have beat Alexander, held that title, and would have had a good shot at defending vs Brook and Porter.....giant paydays in comparison to fighting Collazo alone on the undercard.

    3 missed fights due to him waiting on Duckweather, and if Roid ducks him again, I see a huge lawsuit in Khans favor.:deal:deal:deal

    If Floyd beats Khan, which I give Khan a 50% chance in, as opposed to only a 20% chance I gave Canelo and Madaina, then Khan can fight Pac, get blasted out and retire to Mecca.

    If he loses to Collazo, he can get paydays vs Malignaggi, Thurman, Ortiz, Guerrero.:think

    Never in a million years is Floyds Hernandez win as good as Pacs Barrera win and teh Morales fight is a far superior win than Corrales.

    Your nut hugging plain and simple, I am first to say Floyd has exceptional skills best of his generation but since coming up from 135 he has barely tested himself picking off opponents at the right time and on occasion ducking fights.

    Pac albeit the less skilled fighter has by far the better resume and better legacy.

    Are you serious? Morales was considered shopworn going into that Pacquiao fight. He lost a lopsided decision to Rahim in the fight before. The fight with Rahim had to take place at LW because Morales couldn't make 130 anymore. He lobbied big time to have the Pacquiao rematch above the LW limit. Of course, he had lost most of his leverage and his request was declined. There was also a large overweight penalty. Morales looked sickly at the weigh in and faded down the stretch against Pac before getting stopped. Those Barrera wars took a lot out of Morales. He's an under .500 fighter since. No way is that win better than the Corrales win. Corrales was an undefeated, prime, p4p fighter. He continued to fight at a championship level afterwards as well.
     
  14. What about Bradley's resume and his win over Pacquiao?

    Because he has Barrea and Morales both who weren't prime, this means his resume is "far" better? And I'm nut hugging, Barrea had already lost to junior Jones twice and Morales before pac whoop his ass, at least Genaro only had one prior defeat before Floyd beat him.

    So floyd cherry picks but pac moving up facing 3 of the same fighters floyd beat and 2 more before floyd beat and Manny isn't a cherry picker, what the hell is Clottey who was coming off a loss, what the hell is Margarito one fight removed from a brutal KO, What the hell is Rios coming off a loss...

    You don't get credit for losing to these so call good fighters, which again pac had 5 losses and 2 draws, hell pac and Floyds resume is damn near identical, at least floyd is undefeated, Pac loses to his cherry picks..
