    Identical 8 weight divisions alone and champion at each trumps anything on Floyds resume the 2003 fight with Barrera was hardly with a shot fighter the guy went on to beat Morales a year later.

    Yes Floyd dominated Marquez but you fail to mention that Pac fought him at his best weight in prime and despite what you say he is 2 1 1 against him. Floyd dragged him up 2 weights and cheated him on the scales.

    Bradley is better than any fighter that Mayweather has fought since ODH I would say he is better than Alverez especially the weight drained version of Alverez that Floyd fought.

    End of the day Berrera and 8 diviosions > Floyd

    Pac took jmm up to welter also and got knocked the **** out, 8 divisions? Please that 150lb catch against a guy who wasn't ranked at the weight and neither was a champion, Pac beat the weakest champ at 135 in Diaz and never defended his title, same at 140 beat a Hatton floyd already KO'ed and never defended his title, I could care less about titles they make belts and rules as they go along that's for any fighter, and Barrera is not that ****ing great so miss me with that dumb ****...

    I'd be very surprised if Khan got the nod for September. Beating Collazo isn't enough to get people excited. Furthermore, Ramadan will cause Khan to not be able to train until August. I don't see him doing a 5 or 6 week training camp in preparation for a fight with Mayweather.

    Money-wise its a good fight
    Khan has all the Muslim fights fans in India, ****stan and the U.A.E to name a few countries.
    These people are are a largely untapped source of revenue in todays boxing scene.
    Now imagine if a Muslim promoted himself to fight Floyd in a fight to be aired live on PPV in these countries!!!!
    We are talking astronomical numbers of sales , perhaps record breaking sales in the billions.
    Thats why Floyd will fight Khan.

    Floyd-Khan is not a good fight. Maybe financially, but not competitively. Garcia was timing Khan throughout their fight. Floyd's counter-punching is leagues above Garcia's. Khan may have the speed advantage, but Floyd has the advantage in everything else.

    How does Mayweather's resume match that of Pacquiao? :huh
    Marquez' one win alone over Pac plus his win over Barrera, surpasses any win that Mayweather has which has a 152 green Canelo as his greatest win.

    Think about it

    Shawn Porter is fighting his mandatory most likely in July
    Keith Thurman is green
    Lara is fighting Canelo is July
    Danny Garcia is fighting at 140 in July

    And Floyd is coming back in September. Floyd doesn't really have many options

    the same way beating weak competition like Berto and Broner, and average competition like Trout gets you a fight against him

    Took words out of my keyboard. The Barrera n morales comparisons were quite moronic.

    Keith Thuman simply hasn't done ****. He's still basically a prospect. He's a good fighter, but he's greener than Canelo was
