    I'd like to see khan get two wins at 147 first before a Floyd fight.

    Any two from Alexander,Brook,Lopez and Berto would be fine with me.

    It doesnt matter what weight Khan is at,his defence and punch resistance will never be great,he's an exciting fighter and thats why he will always get big fights,Mayweather wants to fight in the UK and it makes sense to match him with Khan who is a big name and its a realtively easy fight for Floyd aswell as one last big pay day for Khan before he retires..

    Khan will be in with the winner of Matthysse v Peterson or Garcia if he stays at 140 lbs.
    He can fight someone more suitable to his needs if he moves up.

    140 or 147, either way, he's not cut-out for the top dogs anymore. 147 would probably be slightly safer for him providing he's matched right. Going for Alexander is a bad move.

    If Khan cant beat Alexander at 147 its time to retire..

    I think all the top players at 140 will look to move to 147 anyway to try get the Floyd shot.

    Although Khan hasn't really got many safe options at 140, i REALLY don't see him defeating a top contender at 147.

    Khan versus Ortiz would have the lowest collective Ring IQ ever. Add in two shaky chins, power and speed and it's a guarenteed drama. Make it happen.

    From a neutral point of view I think Khan v Ortiz would be a great fight, think Ortiz would be too strong though
