I can't wait to see Pac-Floyd too, but I'd see Floyd-Khan first.

    I just think it would make this fight more hyped, and also I would love to see Floyd fighting more often. After 50:50 fight with Pac, I don't think he is going to fight any longer.

    Amir Khan throws a lot, it would be a great show to see Floyd's defense skills one more time.

    Cause for better drama too.

    Floyd beats up Pacquiao's buddy. Pacquiao's out to avenge

    That or a Pac/Khan fight after fighting Floyd

    As long as he doesn't retire, Floyd will almost certainly fight Khan at some point. Sooner than later. Khan has to be on the shortest of short lists.

    Well if you perfer Mayweather-Khan first then that would suggest that you can wait to see Mayweather-Pacquiao.

    Personally, I perfer not to wait but happen to think that Mayweather-Khan probably will be made first.

    It doesn't matter. If they want it, they could get it. All roads lead to Floyd Mayweather.

    Mayweather-Pacquiao is best if it happened ASAP. It's already overdue and should have happened in 2010.

    Mayweather-Khan is better later. Give time for Khan to improve, as he is WAY too unpolished and flawed. That also gives more time for Floyd to age. Right now it is not a good matchup, Floyd is levels above Amir and would kick his ass.

    That's a huge mismatch right now or any time in the next 3 years. Khan needs to avenge his loss against Prescott before he's even considered as an opponent for Floyd.

    This is the factor Floyd's age and inactivity and Khan improving ironing out flaws and nearing his prime. It's one thing using aging reflexes slipping punches and there is young Khan's handspeed maybe the fastest in the sport today.

    Khan's speed would upset Floyd's timing and test them aging reflexes to the max, and with his inactivity we don't know what state their in or if it's had any decline.

    One thing is for sure Khan will ONLY improve and Floyd WILL only decline as of now.

    This. No reason to rush Khan into fighting Floyd. I'm quite sure they will fight.. Plenty money to be made in that fight as well.
