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

[Master]

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.

[Beanflicker]

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?

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.

[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?

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.

[Gandalf]

Floyd just retire already, you haven't been meaningful for a long time now. A year with Maidana says it all.

[trinitron1]

Khan takes Brook fight & gets flattened, if he is this superstar why isn't Khan wanting a Garcia rematch? Big punchers will get to him every time, Alexander was made for him, Khan is trying to jump the que in wanting Mayweather he has no strap & is avoiding Brook.

[J_Undisputed]

Utter Crap.... Not saying I saw anything in the last khan fight that really made him more of a threat to floyd. I actually think his foot work regressed a tad.That being said I did nod off after alexander gave up, so maybe i missed something.

Now first problem I see is that Khan had his foot in the door before the first freakin maidana fight. His name was of the possibles. Then Maidana mauled broner and gathered some Luster. So how the hell is Khan holding no weight now if we was then when all he did was win in the meantime. Suspect. (i still thing floyd beats Khan handily because of khans mistakes, but anyway .. i digress)

i'm about to answer my own question now. Whats floyd afraid of with Khan? Khan's ego... With khans inflated ego, khans going to demand more money and fresh off a win over alexander, there will be arguments that maybe he deserves a bigger piece and floyds not willing to take the pay cut, on a smaller payday. Pacquiao demands a bigger piece than khan but with the buys being higher, floyds still guaranteed a certain amount.

This kind of goes back to Khans ego. Someone in his camp really needs to smack him upside the head whenever he opens his mouth. The way to get mayweather in the ring is to shame him there and corner him. judah did it, mosely did it, maidana did it in the rematch. When Mayweather beat maidana, Khan should have jumped up and said "At least I dropped him with a bodyshot... So take your rest and start training so i can do the same thing to you " Not... "oh let me check my calendar.... hmmm Ramadan.. The fight cant be till this time or that time..." Khan screwed himself out of an opportunity as he often does by opening his mouth and trying to dictate things when he has no stroke. Just like this thing with brook. Fight brook. Brook wants it.. and has a title. whats the problem? Oh it has to be just right .. etc etc etc.. whos the bigger star...

Khan wont fight mayweather because he keeps doing things like that and people will keep cutting in everytime khan checks his calendar or starts daydreaming of what should be.

Khan offered Garcia a career high payday of 1 million for an immediate rematch which was turned down. But you are right he clearly didnt want a rematch

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.
