If Angulo beats Canelo he qualifies for the fight, Khan has to fight someone...his fights are always risky :think
Mayweather-Khan would be okay so I can laugh at all the people saying "Khan is a tough style matchup for Mayweather"
Matthysse,Thurman,Lara, or Garcia would do but don't hold your breath if your a Floyd fan because knowing him it will be Khan in September.
Has anyone else heard of the date for September? I heard it was September 13th so I booked flights but im not so confident now theres a concert at the mgm grand the day after ? cheers
If Angulo beats Alvarez, moving up to JMW and fighting him is a better victory for Floyd because I don't see Khan being able to establish himself as a legit top ranked opponent at WW in the allotted time of just one fight between now and September. If Angulo decisively beats Alvarez he will be a top 5 JMW like that. Who could Khan beat at WW that would elevate him to a top 5 guy? You'd think it would have to be a current top 5 ranked WW as Khan has only the 143 catchweight Julio Diaz scraping-by-barely-winning on his resume at WW. All of those top 5 guys are either Floyd/Maidana, or with Top Rank.
Khan needs just one solid performance yet impressive victory against a good solid foe and he could be back in line for a Mayweather fight, whether that opponent is rematch Danny Garcia, rematch Lamount Peterson(the more likely scenario of the two sequels), Shawn Porter or Kell Brook, whom I think Khan can actually beat on a good night given that Brook himself has not fought the same type of experienced opposition as Khan and has yet to fight here in the states. All Khan needs to do is one solid good fight verses one of aftermentioned names and he's in!
The 13th or the 20th, as Mexican Independence Day is Tuesday, September 16th. I'd tend to think it will be the 20th, maybe? Toss up, no idea. EDIT: And that is assuming Floyd is victorious and there are no injuries sustained come May 3rd. And that he sticks to his schedule even if he doesn't get injured.
That's so irritating I read online the plan was the 13th and that's when he was supposed to be fighting pacman ( knew it was never going to happen ) Do you think there being a concert the next day at the mgm is a sign that the fight wont be on or will that not matter? Thanks for the help
