Mayweather: Khan's name holds no weight, i'm focused on pacquiao!

[smashup]

Knew this was coming after Khans display on Saturday and Floyd claims there were only 4000 tickets sold for the MGM - anyone know if that's true?

If it is then i can kind of understand his reasoning, that and the fact Khan is a nightmare opponent for him

World Boxing News - Mayweather: Khan's name holds no weight, I'm focused on Pacquiao!

Anyone who believe that should either be locked up or be forced to wear a helmet for their own safety.

Khan wants Floyd, Manny and Brook in that order.
Floyd wants to stop Cotto/Canelo, Manny in that order.
Manny wants what ever Arum wants.
Brooks wants Khan, JMM in that order.

Khan blew his chance. If he hadn't got dummied by Peterson, Garcia and (arguably) Julio, he'd have a big argument to fight Floyd.

He's had two fights a WW and people are proclaiming him the next messiah. It's the same thing that happened when he moved up to 140. "OH HE WAS DRAINING HIMSELF, NOW HERE'S THE REAL KHAN". Let's see him fight and beat a guy like Porter or Thurman before he talks Floyd. Because I'm telling you right now both those guys knock him out.

i dont buy all this if khan had beaten him or him or what ever hed have deserved to fight floyd

who had guerro or ortiz or canelo (for that matter) beaten to deserve a fight?

[Fenster]

Porter would knock the fuck out of Kell Brook too.. oh wait (Khan needs to prove himself against the likes of Porter because he "struggled" with Diaz who drew with Porter. Fuck me...)

It was obvious from the other night that Khan is a serious threat to Floyd. If you can't KO Khan you're gonna have to go some to outpoint him.

Maybe Floyd should beat a guy like Thurman if hes that good?

Its just bullshit Floyd fans say to excuse him ducking fighters.

[SlimTrae]

I like Khan, he backs his talk up in the ring.
I for one don't feel a loss or two makes a fighter not-viable for a top spot. Some he can beat, some he can't. We know this because he doesnt really haggle or look for catchweight fights.

Khan fights whoever because he has to, Floyd fights only who he wants...because he can.

[Primo Carnera]

Everybody knows my opinion of Khan's chances against Floyd , Pac and many others, but I do think he's going about this the wrong way. This is what he should do;
Firstly, the likelihood is Floyd doesn't fight him because Floyd doesn't want to for whatever reason. Bearing that in mind, instead of begging for the fight, he should play it by saying "Floyd's a chicken if he don't fight me, and he'll retire wondering! I could fight Brook and make 2 or 3 times more anyway,so why should I worry about fighting that pussy!" A lot of people will then jump on the bandwagon . What's he got to lose?
Note, that's what he should say, not what I believe. It won't help him if he actually manages to get in the ring with Floyd though!

[IamInuit]

Floyd is losin it.

Translation will be the same as always. The eternal charade will carry on and yada yada yada and then Khan wont be viable for some reason and Floyd will fight Jo Jo Dan.

[imp]

Roy jones "yall musta forgot" song is clearly always overlooked here.

Khan beats and outboxes a classy alexander and now all of a sudden floyd is ducking khan.

Khan wont get the fight in may so needs to keep eliminating the competition and start with brook.

Khan is a great boxer and after he beats brook the fight has to happen.

Floyd and pac is a minor possibility for may 2nd so lets see what happens there first.

So quick to say floyd ducks when the two supposedly avoided fastest fighter have 8 losses between them.

Khan is worthy but floyd is in charge - remember that.

[IamInuit]

Please, it should be obvious by now to even his most staunch fan that him "being in control" is part of the problem and not the solution. Boxing matches controlled buy PPV numbers instead of quality matchups. The only place you can find those now are on the domestic side of the sport.

[imp]

If you were in floyds position you would try to make the fight that makes the most money and most sense first.

Arum has been ducking floyd for all these years even though manny actually wants the fight.

Floyd will be fighting twice next year and Theres no way that he can avoid or choose not to fight pac or khan unless he moves up a weight and the latter wont be happening.

Floyd is the A side fighter just like Oscar and whether you like it or not you abide by his rules.

IamInuit,

Floyd being in control is what every boxer dreams of and has set the standard for making/taking all the money inhouse.

Like I said before, with pac and khan on winning streaks they are both the heavy favourites for the may and september slots.

There is no way this can be avoided as there were many who said the same thing about ducking an undefeated powerful young mexican in canelo.

Remember that floyd is fast as well with better defense, chin and accuracy and is well aware on what both fighters bring to the table financially and al haymon will make him fully aware of that.!
