    Someone posted this on General Forum:

    "This is Floyd's final list for September fight.

    Based off % Chance according to Ellerbe and camp.

    Canelo 43%
    Khan 42%
    Garcia 33%
    Alexander 30%
    Alavado (He's going to leave Top Rank within 2-3 weeks) 25%

    These are Floyd's 5 opponents.
    There are NO others according to Ellerbe"

    As fat Dan said, the biggest sticky point for Canela fight is agreeing to a catch weight. Khan looked awful in his last fight and he will not be training during Ramadan. The other three are not attractive fights, they will get dominated from the first bell. Canelo, if it can be made, would be the best fight to be made in September.

    **Above quote from Ellerbe is dubious, no source to back up.**

    Ramadan is 9th July to 7th August this year.

    If Khan doesn't train during Ramadan then he'll have around 6 weeks once it's finished to prepare for a fight on September 14th.

    Don't see this happening. If it does then it's the Khan camp cashing out on their guy.

    I hadnt realised Ramadan was so early in the summer this year. If Khan is offered the fight I think his team will take it and work around it.
