    Will he finally fight Brook or will he keep fighting B-Level guys and calling Floyds name out like a high price TMT girl during Floyd's retirement?

    He can't keep up the lie now that Floyd's is basically done boxing. He now has to hold his own. High probability is that he tries to fight Pacquiao with the same results.

    He should fight Thurman or Brook.

    Either way he HAS GO TO fight a puncher in his next fight.

    He can't or he'd look a fool - think about all he's said - he's a big name and can only fight big names now..Thats why Brook isn't happening as he's not in his league. Khan says he's a proven 147 fighter now.....after his 147 fight with the hard hitting 140 Algeri. :patsch I'm actually a Khan fan but am growing increasingly sick of his BS talk. He needs to man up and fight a big name at 147 now. Watch n see who they cherry pick for him next time out.......almost as bad as the Wilder cherry picks.

    I dont like the Berto fight on PPV forsure, but the truth is if he fought Khan, everyone would say Khan almost lost to Algieri, if he fought Thurman they'd say Thurman almost got knocked out by Collazo and looked "horrible"(even though Thurman won every round leading up to that), if he fought Brook they'd say Brook only fought bums his career besides Porter, and if he fought Porter they'd say he's fighting Brook's leftovers.
    Beating any of these guys does nothing for his resume, or ATG standings. Does that mean I rather see Berto? no, but it's just the truth.

    Lots of good names just waiting.

    I get the feeling we're going to get 2 ww fights by the end of the year, and it'll be a mix and match between Garcia, Thurman,Porter and Khan

    :deal After the Pacquiao fight the game was up. I think he wanted to save it for last but the pressure was to tough to ignore. It really is a done deal for the guy. Great run though. Now if he doesn't let his ego get the best of him and he stays retired. maybe these young fighters will get it cracking for 2016.

    Al haymon is building Khan up. Expect Khan to not fight a puncher anytime soon. It's not that Khan is afraid of punchers but his handlers are trying to build him up well. The goal is to build fighters, have them make good money, and then make big fights. Al Haymon is a fair man, he seems like he genuinely cares for his fighters.
