    According to Khan he is killing himself to make 140 and he doesn't want Garcia or Peterson at 140lbs any more?

    Im surprised.....when is he hoping to fight Mayweather he isn't going to fight till December right I assume he is hoping to be his Cinco De Mayo 2014 opponent?

    Anyway here is what Khan had to say: "Mayweather may not be around for long. I want my shot. The world's talking about the fight. Garcia and Peterson will be around till I'm around for rematches. Styles make fights. So you saying you rather see Floyd with another opponent that's flat footed and slow who he can pick off when he likes? My natural weight is 153 lbs. Never touched canvas at that weight. 140 I kill myself making it, I've been this weight since 2009. WBC (ranked) #2 at 147."

    I'm sure we heard that he was killing himself to make weight before :think

    What do you think ESB?

    By that he just means it's getting harder to make 140. That's all. Don't mistake that as him being dead at the weight. He's just probably one of those -- like Mayweather -- that doesn't like to cut as much as most others do.

    Amir going to Khanquer the less publicized yet deep 153 pound division, where he has never tasted canvas before mind you.

    153- watch out!

    Amir said in a recent interview before his last fight "I have no trouble making 140lbs I make it easy" so this sounds a bit suspect to me if he really said that....like maybe its time now to justify the move up to coincide with his equally suspect being ranked so high in the 147 division without ever having a single fight at that weight. Hmmm. Money talks eh!

    he always says that about a weight class when he is brutally KOed

    he has been KOed at every weight class

    as amateur and pro

    how long till he is Koed at 47

    not long but at least he can cruise away from Garcia

    for now

    Everyone is desperate for their shot at Mayweather before he retires it seems.....

    I prefer to see the Canelo fight but I wouldn't mind seeing Floyd face Khan afterwards....I think it would be exciting as hell and I'd love to see Khan take one of Floyds lead rights or left hooks....

    He has also never touched the canvas at 168 or cruiserweight, irrefutable evidence that his jaw will be granite at those weights.
