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.
Maybe Floyd should beat a guy like Thurman if hes that good?
Floyd has 18 years of undefeated boxing behind him, including 16 years as a world champion and fighting on a championship level. Since 1999, he has consistently been ranked as one of boxing's P4P best fighters, and has been the #1 p4p for about 10 years now.

Khan is 28, he's been knocked out twice (once in under a minute) and beaten by Peterson.

Floyd's not the guy with something to prove.
Floyd is the one with everything to prove. Hes the one who could go down as a top 10 fighter of all time. Maybe hes not interested in that. Maybe he doesnt care about his legacy. If so he can continue to take the easier fights. Maybe give Ortiz a rematch next. He had a nice comeback victory there.

Its comical. You say Khan should fight and beat Thurman to earn a Mayweather shot yet he just beat someone who has beaten better fighters then Thurman has faced. Make excuses for Floyd all you want. I believe he has fought genuine opponents in 4 of his last 10 fights, the rest are light years behind Pacman, Khan or even Thurman yet you have no problem with Floyd avoiding them and fighting these lower tier boxers.
