What a $hitty fight. Khan is already at the downside of his boxing career. And in his last fight he struggled against a shot Julio Diaz.

Come on Floyd fight Pacquiao, Bradley, or even the winner of the Alexander-Porter fight.

Pac and Bradley are with Top Rank so that cant happen.

And fight is not confirmed yet.

I think Alexander or even Kell Brooks are a much better opponents than glass jawed Khan.

You gotta look at it from a money stand point too. Alexander is not too well known, and Brook is less known than he is.

looks like a cool fight. unlike the other no name washed up boxers with no style that mayweather has been fighting

Amir Khan needed one more fight before Mayweather. He's not ready, will get whipped.


But, people will bash Mayweather for the choice. It's not like he had many options out there?

-Top Rank guys are out the window, so no Pac, Bradley.

-Danny Garcia, is the champ at 140, so maybe he wants to keep that belt for a while longer.

-The other champs at 147 are Broner and Alexander. Broner ain't happening. If Devon puts on a show Saturday, maybe we'll see him and May in September.

Paulie and Judah are other names at 147. They fight Saturday. Floyd fought Judah years ago, Paulie maybe ...

Keith Thurman and Soto Karass. Thurman is too ripe and Soto Karass, put some more wins together.

Marcos Maidana, if he beats Broner,I could see that happening next.

Kell Brook, no one knows him.



It's even less names at 154.
Lara, Trout, Charlo, Molina, Angulo.

he got hit in the back of the ear, you know near where the spinal cord is located.

[BrooklynZoo]

i believe he's fighting twice next year so hopefully this is just a warm up for the 2nd

[ispin69]

He should fight his boy Adrien Broner but of course he won't because they're both duckers and want perfect records. They wanna be both undefeated loudmouths with that shoulder defense (though broner's defense isn't as good).

Excited to see Broner vs Maidana. Even though Maidana will lose because Broner will box and run, Maidana is a slugger and should give him a decent beating.

How bout you get hit like that and see if you could stand afterwards :facepalm

You should stay quiet because you obviously dont know much about boxing. Broner isnt a runner. In fact he gets alot of criticism for his lack of movement and poor footwork. I bet you hes gonna be the one thats going to make Maidana back up in the late rounds (if not from the start)

That's why Mayweather needs to stop thinking about fighting Amir Khan. This guy was never the same after Garcia KO'ed him last year. He struggled against sub par competitions. Brandon Rios would beat Khan right now.

Rios is way better than Julio Diaz.

[DonD13]

lol what??
he's as active as it gets. I'm hearing oh that's just a warm up ever since the Marquez fight.

does Khan deserve that fight? absolutely not!
is it a fight a GOAT would consider? absolutely not!

but me, I don't mind the fight. Khan has speed and punch output to give Floyd trouble. It will be way more competitive than freakin Guerrero.

[Lebron23]

I rather see Floyd fight the winner of the Lara, and Trout fight.

[DonD13]

I rather see Floyd fight the winner of the Lara, and Trout fight.

I agree.

But for me, better Khan than another flat footed fighter.

And since he doesn't want to fight at 154, my choice would probably be Bradley.

[RagaZ]

Khan would win it if the fight was in UK.

Terrible officiating in the UK. Groves and Froch Stoppage, Beltran-Burns robbery.

You make some good points but remember Mayweather is the most powerful person in boxing right now. If he really wanted to fight someone from Top Rank like Bradley, he would be able to. He just doesn't want any money going in Arum's pockets so that won't happen.

The most deserving guy besides Bradley is Danny Garcia, but Danny hasn't fought at 147 yet..so maybe that is a good fight that ends up on the second half of Floyd's 6 fight showtime deal.

Also, if Broner doesn't destroy his own career (which is a huge if), I don't see why a Floyd fight wouldn't happen, despite what they say. Broner will definitely need the money (there's no way dude isn't already broke) and those two egos are bound to collide sooner than later.

As for as Kahn, lets not forget that that he beat the sh*t out of a lot of good fighters a few years ago at a very young age (Maidana, Judah (ko), Paulie Malignaggi (ko) ) and was beating Danny Garcia handily before he got caught...but since then he's just looked like crap...It will be cool to see Floyd fight someone that has awesome speed like kahn, and kahn wil definitely not make the fight boring but you really have to talk yourself into like this matchup....mayweather is just too smart in the ring for kahn.

For Mayweather, this would be a chance to get a knockout because of kahn's recklessness and bad chin...and Mayweather hasn't had a legit knockout in a long time.

Khan didn't look good in his last 2 fights. He was still getting tagged by the same left hooks. Both Diaz and Molina were not even top 20 fighters in this division.

Yeah, thats what I said. Ever since he got caught by Garcia, hes looked like crap.

[magic chiongson]

khan sucks but i would watch this over a mayweather vs lara/trout fights. lara/trout are both good fighters but it will be 2 consecutive snoozefests for the winner

and yeah i wish bradley leaves top rank (after a pac rematch) so he could fight mayweather

he fought guerrero early this year, then canelo. next he'll fight khan, then ______.

Dont mind the khan fight if the 2nd is a name (ie manny)

Mayweather vs. Bradley in September!! Book it.


Manny's Top Rank contract runs out at the end of 2014 and Bradley has I think one more fights left on his.

May 14 = Khan or whoever
Sep 14 = Bradley
May 15 = Pacquiao
Sep 15 = Broner

Retire 49-0 or go for 50 against Wladimir Klitschko, lol.

[magic chiongson]

the only fights that would enhance mayweather's legacy at this point are pacquiao, sergio, ggg. pacquiao is the easiest among those 3 :confusedshrug: you can also add bradley

[Pointguard]

This fight better be $5.00.

[L.Kizzle]

Pac and Sergio, yeah. GGG hasn't done shit yet. His biggest wins are against Gabriel Rosado, Mathew Macklin and Curtis Stevens who all three have a total of zero titles won.


We gotta see how Sergio looks after over a year lay off. The soonest the could fight would be late 2014 or May of 2015. Sergio will be approaching 40 or will be 40 if 2015 and depending on if he beats Cotto in June.

[raiderfan19]

Ggg is a monster at a much bigger weight. That would do a lot for him

[abuC]

How bout you get hit like that and see if you could stand afterwards :facepalm


That's not the first time Khan did the stanky leg though

http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view/242238/amir-khan-o.gif


His chin is below average.

[magic chiongson]

i guess it's really happening the way floyd's been talking :confusedshrug:

[QUOTE]Asked for his thoughts on Khan

[GOBB]

Sergio is past his prime thanks to injuries. Only tough bout would be GGG. And that fight will never ever happen so. Bradley would get owned. Wouldnt enhance much.

i guess floyd could use another KO in his record

I don't get it. He talked about how Manny was done after being KO and will never get a chance again. Here he talks up Amir Khan who's been stopped a few fights ago and went tooth and nail with a journeyman. I don't think anyone would put Khan and Pacman on the same level.

He also talked about how he never knows who's he going to fight and leaves it up to his team. Lol wut? I could swear Mayweather d riders always talking about how he's his own man and his own boss. Now he's doing the ol Pacquiao trick and saying its up to his team :lol

I am a genius.

[RedBlackAttack]

Floyd is going to abuse Maidana. :sleeping

[L.Kizzle]

Damn Kahn, his next fight will most likely be vs. Josesito Lopez in December. The Mayweather fight will never happen. He was gonna fight Kell Brook but he got stabbed so that fight got postponed.


I bet he wish he had taken that Devon Alexander fight now.


His last five fights:
W Luis Collazo
W Julio Diaz (knocked down)
W Carlo Molina
L Danny Garcia
L Lamont Peterson
W Zab Judah

His last win vs. a notable opponent was Zab Judah over three years ago. If he want that Mayweather fight come May of next year, he better fight one of these guys:

Marcos Maidana II (Khan did beat him back in 2010, but both of there careers have gone the opposite direction since.)
Lamont Peterson (avenge his loss)
Danny Garcia (same as above)
Adrien Broner
Lucas Matthysse
Robert Guerrero
Shawn Porter
Devon Alexander

Crazy to think how much Madiana and Khan are in terms of boxing. I thought that would be Khan's start to his career peak.
