    Mosley has said that he has been offered the khan fight December 13th in Dubai. What did people think of this. I know what I think but might get a ban if I write it on here pppfffffttt.

    big ish money fight against an old shot guy, with big name recognition. Better than algeiri I suppose. Not sure why he doesn't look for a Bradley fight in Nov, which will get him a belt and will probably put him top 3 at WW,

    sounds like khan and his advisors are making more shyte career choices again.

    No it is not better than algieri. Mosley is finished. Hes 44 ffs. Ridiculous choice by khan who always goes on about elite fighters. Its clear again hes picking a very little risk fight so he can hold out for pacquiao..

    Bradley is signed to fight rios.

    Good money for an easy fight against a known opponent. There is plenty of pluses on the table...

    Shocking, Mosley shouldn't even be allowed to fight now as every punch he know takes has such an increased chance of permanent injury. Guy was good in his day so I cant see why he cant just settle with that.

    Ed Robinson claimed on toe2toe that little Carl Frampton got top-side of Moseley in sparring.

    Guy was AMAZING in his day and would absolutely school this group of welterweights we have now. Sad really.

    Khan's clan boys will tell you it's the same Mosley that fought Floyd and his last fight against Ricardo Mayorga proved he is back.

    I don't think anyone can say Brook has a better CV than Khan, Brook has only recently entered world level so of course Khan's gonna have more quality opposition.

    Brook's win against Porter is better than anything Khan's done, and I think people see him as the greater H2H fighter which is why the majority of people on this forum see Brook as the better fighter and rank him higher.

    What the hell has brook's record got to do with khan choosing to cherry pick some decrepit old man?

    I like Khan but this is disappointing if true.

    Be hilarious if Shane summoned up all if the strength he had left into one punch that shattered Khan. It's what h deserves for trying to exploit a legendary fighter showing signs of brain damage.

    This is worse than the proposed Provodnikov fight.

    This has to be a rumour, can't be true, a shot to pieces 44 year old, I personally don't believe this will happen, Khan and his team are not that stupid.
