    If Khan had an OK/not too bad jaw instead of the shameful glass one he currently has, how far do you potentially see him getting?

    Personally I see him being able to convincingly beat C/B class fighters like Diaz without getting rocked every time they connect on that bambi dance button he has at the bottom of his face.

    He also got destroyed by C- level Prescott and refused a rematch. Lost to B level Peterson. Got beaten the **** out of by Garcia. Got battered around the ring by C level Diaz. Dropped by domestic level Limond. :lol:

    His jaw is a liability.

    So he was destroyed in a round by an irrelevant fighter, case closed.

    he's only really lost fights because of his own errors (very basic errors) rather than being outboxed or outclassed, had he had a stronger chin to paper over these errors he could be potentially a top 5 P4P

    His ring Iq also isn't the best, he won the Peterson fight in my view, but that said he did't fight the smartest fight. Although he's won several world title fights and been unified LWW champ, theres always been a nagging doubt he hasn't reached 100% of what he could of been. He's only 27 and could still go very far, would help if he fought a bit more though I think the collazo fight is his only one in around 18months or so.

    Manny is exceptional and proved it afterwards. Khan hasn't.

    He has a decent, but far from amazing resume. Certainly hasn't done anything for Mayweather to have to fight him.

    It's a fight Khans fan boys demand, but not many others give a ****. I'd watch it, and be happy to see it, but if it doesn't happen Mayweather isn't ducking. Khan just hasn't done enough recently to earn his shot- he should fight Brook.

    He isn't even some elite high skilled boxer like some claim. He's all about speed, but not much substance. In and out flurries. Timing beats speed, and Floyd has the best timing in the game. If it does happen, he destroys Khan.

    The Garcia defeat is irrelevant- he got absolutely pasted against the last top 10 opponent he faced :patsch

    It must burn people that Khan exists I'm not a fan but because he's perceived as arrogant he does not get the credit for being a decent boxer. He is legitimately a top ten WW and has won titles so yeah he's had a good career.

    To who? Hatton was more popular in Britain but doesn't Khan have a bigger following from Asia?

    Yeah, he won that poll, but got crushed in the others- polls which likely where more reflective of the american audience since they where less likely to have Khans English fan boys voting on them. He also only managed to bring in 20,000 votes for a guy who apparently has millions of fans.

    You're a huge Khan fan. It is not a fight heavily demanded by the public, it is a fight heavily demanded by you.

    You're part of a loud minority.

    Pac is demanded by the public, Khan is meh.





    Of the available options, Khan is actually the one I'd like to see. But I don't think it sell all that well. Perhaps just cracks a million buys.
