    That's what I've been saying.

    People go on and on about Khan's speed. You need more than speed to beat Floyd.

    People base the idea that Khan would challenge Floyd on his fight against Collazo. Fighting old, shot Collazo is not a good measuring stick for how someone would do against Floyd.

    Khan wants Floyd and if he sits on his hands until May 2015 he will do it. More than likely he will have to fight December and that will be a light punching welterweight. If he does not get Floyd he will have to fight Brooks. I hope he has to fight Brooks.
    Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

    This is why I sometimes hate boxing.

    Khan HAS to fight a live opponent in december to get the may date or even next december.

    Garcia should get the chance before khan.

    Khan v Garcia would be a good fight and eliminator to fight Floyd. At welterweight Khan has advantage as he has fought at the weight and he can gain revenge.

    Yea but Garcia and his dad have said loads of times they don't want to give khan a rematch. I think they know it's a very risky fight.

    Khan then moves on to Peterson.

    Khan will only get the fight if Floyd wants to fight in UK - I heard something that he fancied a bit of the Wembley thing after seeing Froch Groves ?

    I still say Khan has the right style of everyone to give Floyd problems and worry he is going to get Floyd at the 'right' time....

    Wembley Stadium is now a WORLD venue, thanks to Froch/Groves.

    It's always been around. But that Froch/Groves extravaganza, it is topping as one of the premier destinations for major fights with main international stars.
