    the fact that khan is being considered is already a travesty in itself.

    this is the time where i missed most about oscar.

    oscar fought a roided mosley and vargas, i mean come on.

    this is what we are getting from a supposedly p4p1? glorified sparring seesions. how many fights now?

    Compared to the realistic alternatives it isn't a bad fight, simple as that.

    Eh, it's a lopsided, easy fight.

    Khan does have some accomplishments, but nobody should be under any illusion that this is anything but an easy, low risk moneymaker to build Floyd's coffers. And as long as people keep paying for it, why change? This sport's about maximizing earnings, so I can't rag on Floyd for being a great businessman.

    I'm more annoyed that the Mayweathers keep talking about Pacquiao to keep that angle in the media when there's no chance that fight will ever happen. They talk about Pac more than Khan.

    It's seems to be the truth. I think people should have realised by now that Floyd probably isn't gonna fight Pacquiao and even if he did it isn't the fight it might once have been. It probably wouldn't be competitive, Pacquiao doesn't seem like the same fighter he once was.

    I can only hope a ton of oil money comes in on Khan so I can get good odds on a Floyd knockout. Khan's a showcase fight, nothing more.

    Floyd isn't gonna fight anyone who has much chance of winning. If you're gonna fight a guy who has little chance of winning might as well be the one who offers something different to your recent opponents and has the best chance of providing an entertaining fight with a decent possibility of a KO.
