I know khan is a fast fighter so that might cause a few issues with floyd as hes nearly 37...either way, lets hope its the same result.
Floyd gets first his first ko in a decade!
I can see Khan causing PBF problems with his speed - especially as he doesn't have to be too fearful of one punch KO.
Long shot but fuck, what if Khan wins !!
Khan must be thinking it's his birthday, Mayweather gives Khan a hell of a pay day and
he may give Floyd 1 or 2 problems, can't see him beating Floyd but Khan has very fast
hands and speed kills.!!!!!!!! :)
Here is the first idiot on the forum who thinks he will win. There will be others to follow but this one is the original.Quote:

Part of me seemed to feel a bit nervous when i think of his speed but i think the fact he only just got through his last fight shows me that floyd and his team will adapt to the speed and hopefully get the ko with the left hook.
Khan has to beat Devon which will not be easy, Brook will demand a fight and make noise and this will embarrass Khan who cannot risk a fight until he cash's out against Floyd.Quote:

Devon will be fighting Judah instead. Khan has the charisma and loyal following to sell a fight for Showtime. Its all about the dollars and Khan is the next best thing to make some money and that will show the illusion of risk. Garcia will be next providing he makes an impact at 147. Just a hunch.Quote:

So Khan will not fight until then?Quote:

If you had millions waiting for you in a years time would you risk it? I think he should do a tune up but Khan looked like crap in his last fight.Quote:

Khan is so chin and last chance conscious, he has no poker face and wears tension on his shoulders. Floyd is going to thread him like a needle and leave him short circuited like someone tossed a electric toaster into a hot tub.
Disappointing imo, when is the fight being discussed for? Khan has absolutely no chance, his best case scenario is to frustrate Floyd for a few rounds.
he doesn't deserve the fight but it will be great to see him ko'd again :D
Hope it's in the uk, floyd will have more fans over here than he does in Vegas he might find that weird lol
It's going to be in Vegas at the MGM grand. That was part of his showtime deal, it's exclusive to that venue.
Khan hasnt fought in awhile and looked terrible in his last outing.Quote:

First time fighting at 147 as well...
I still think it will be a good fight. Obviously, it had a lot more appeal before Khan got TKO'd by Garcia and rattled by Diaz, but his speed alone will cause anyone, Mayweather included, some trouble. Then, Mayweather will land a punch and it will all be over.

This will be a brilliant fight if made and Khan will make him fight every second of every round.
Gonna be very interesting this and could be one of Floyds toughest fights in years.
He was blowing pretty hard i noticed against Ginger between the latter rounds and that was a million miles away from the pace Khans gonna set and i can see these two going all out toe to toe sooner or later :cool:
He hit the ginger with about a hundred shots that would've put Khan on queer street though. I don't think this is even a good fight myself, Khan has no chance at all. Speed alone doesn't mean anything against someone as good as Floyd. Khan has poor timing, footwork, balance, everything. He gets clowned if this happens.

Khan's going to get knocked out again.
He's still a top guy, and another good name though.
Lately Floyd's been taking on these younger hot-shots, and he deserves the credit for doing so.

Mad thing is like most of khans losses if he didnt go all guns blazing and lose his discipline he'd do better.
Another thing and i said this after his last fight.... to me he seemed a bit cloudy in the head after even slurring a bit :-\..i actually wonder what effect some of his fights are starting to take on him.
He's been on the business end of some big punches and taken some beatings in the last few years
AHAH HAH HAH, Good one, Master, you made me laugh out loud! :rocks:Quote:

It definitely makes sense, and I agree with all of that. Trouble is if he did fight Khan in the UK, the PPV buys drop by a tonne and that is still most of the revenue for big fights. It would be like a noon start time in America and people wouldn't be keen on that.
As for the fight, there really isn't anyone better for Floyd right now. He still has 4 fights left and obviously Showtime want them all to sell, Garcia could use another big win or two and if Khan doesn't get his chance now he could lose to pretty well anyone else he fights.
...^^^this^^^;)Quote:

I personally don't think khan deserves the shot and I am pretty annoyed the opportunity for an Alexander fight not taking place is bad for khan. He needs to to test the waters at 147 before even considering fight floyd because the fight won't last long if it does happen IMO.
I think the Garcia is the one who deserves the shot at floyd. If Bradley could somehow beat Marquez then he should have a case for fighting floyd. Don't see that happening though. If Marquez looks outstanding against Bradley then he does deserve another go for stoping PAC as well but I don't see that fight happening either.
That is the great thing about boxing is that someone always like to root for the underdog and sometimes there is a real life Rocky out there. Khan has wanted this for a while and he has the tools to give Money problems but will be victim 46 when the smoke clears.Quote:

I wouldn't be surprised if Garcia turned the fight down. He's still young and jumping a weight class to fight the one of the best fighters ever is a risky proposition. It makes more sense for him to test out the waters first and then fight Floyd.Quote:

I think Floyd's making this because he wants a knockout. And he'll get a knockout against Khan.
I do Agree with that as well but there really does seem to be a lack of worthy challengers for floydQuote:

I think trout is another fighter if he can get a good win when he returns is Deserving of a shot because i rate him just as good as canelo and it would be interesting to see how floyd handles a southpaw who throws a lot of punches. I find that fight a lot more appearing then a khan fight.
Still wouldn't mind seeing floyd being a freak of nature and accepting a
Fight with GGG or Martinez, would be legendary if he did that. I don't see that happening but imagine if it did...
Trout would be a very interesting fight, but that's one for the hardcore fans. Trout doesn't have the profile, the personality, or the style to generate much interest for the general public. Khan is know throughout the boxing world and pretty much guarantees an exciting fight (and a Mayweather TKO).Quote:

GGG is just too big, but I could see Mayweather fighting Martinez sometime in the future. Especially if Martinez continues to look shot.
Floyd vs khan - May 3rd 2014
Floyd vs alexander - sept 2014
Floyd vs garcia - may 2015
Floyd vs bradley(after he leaves top rank undefeated) - sept 2015
This will be a good fight for as long as it lasts. I would be shocked if khan lasts the 12 rounds but I do expect khan to win a few of the early rounds khans got crazy speed and is a busy fighter really looking forward to this fight.
because Khan is known for his boxing brain, world class skills, ring generalship, defence, balance...oh wait, none of those, those are all attributes that mayweather has :cool:Quote:
