    Fought nobody ducked a complete division (because he would have lost) then went life and death with berto.

    Khan has achieved more and fought better fighters than Guerrero ever did.

    Sounds like mayweather is scared of the bad matchup khan presents to him (even though I think he would destroy khan maybe they think the speed and style will trouble floyd at his age) because he says he has to earn it yet didn't think Guerrero had to earn it.

    Mandatory my ass that was constructed how can he be mandatory after 1 fight at 147 give me a break.

    Berto was a two time former champ when he fought Guerreo and that fight wasn't close.

    He also has been soundly KO'd twice and is 2-2 in his last 4 fights, with those wins coming against Molina and Diaz. Neither rank anywhere close to RG's Berto win.

    Ghost hasn't been slapped to sleep by a journeyman or a neck punch at anytime is his career either.Plus Khan wouldn't even last the distance with Berto.

    it dont matter how you look at it. the winner of berto vs ortiz was fighting floyd. and the winner of robert vs berto was going to fight floyd. now had khan been at 147 and in either one of those fights he would have got the floyd fight. well he would have to had beaten either berto or robert which im not sure he can do even at this point.

    Picking up the interim crown, thereby forcing a shot? Regardless, I think Floyd saw him as a tuneup.

    Nobody can turn round and say khan hasn't earned a fight when the only decent boxer Guerrero ever beat was Berto.

    The guy completely ducked everyone not only at 140lb but at lightweight too he fought nobody he beat the shell of casamayor who's collecting his pension and the damaged goods way past it katsidis apart from that he never beat anyone of any note what so ever.

    ^This. He fought Berto. The quality of Andre Berto has dropped significantly though in the past 2 years. If we had known that Berto was going to lose to Soto Karass 1 yr in the future we wouldn't have thought Guerrero deserved that shot. But we can't see into the future lol...

    Also this fight was sort of thought of as a "comeback fight" for Mayweather.

    Khan hasn't beaten a top ten opponent in ages, has been flattened recently and doesn't have anything of note that he's done at 147. So yea it's a horrible comparison.
