I don't see, aside from name alone, how Khan feels he should get this fight CONSIDERING how he looked against Algieri.

    Khan should fight Manny, if anything, if it's a payday he wants. Manny may not get him $20 mil, but he can rake in about $10 with a huge Manny fight. Even more if they fight in England.

    Brook is the prime candidate for a Mayweather fight. No one else, in a fair and even an optical sense, makes sense.
    I agree 100%!

    Special K would present a serious test for Money May.

    Khan is a waste of physical talent. No chin, no boxing IQ.

    Spesh K could upset Mayweather for sure.

    Khan, when you boil him all down, and probably why he is the most exciting guy aside from Manny in boxing today, is that Khan is only a bang and move kinda fighter. No boxing IQ indeed. That and a weak chin, lolololol..... wrong mix.

    Floyd is never fighting Kell or Thurman in a million years - and I don't blame him.

    The sooner Floyd retires the better. The Floyd lottery ticket is just preventing great fights from happening.

    Kell must have a shitty management team. They should have been making some serious noise for months by now. Aside from observant boxing fans, no one has even heard of this guy, yet he is arguably the most bonafide welterweight in the world. As good as he is, he won't generate any interest from casual fans. They'll look at him as "just another opponent" along the lines of Guerrero and Ortiz.

    They are doing virtually nothing to put his name out there.

    If it were me, I would have showed up at Floyd's post-fight interview right after his win over Pac, ala Shane Mosley. Imagine the stir that would have created!! Shane HUSTLED his way into a big payday and it worked.

    Khans a bigger name than brook and will obviously generate more money. Brook and Thurman very well might beat Khan but they have absolutely no chance or beating floyd. Out the 3 of them Khan is the only 1 who could beat floyd IMO and I hope floyd picks the easy fight with brook or Thurman.

    Khan may be a bigger name, but is he a currant Champion NO, he had been KO twice his last
    fight he hardly set the World alight did he.
    Trouble with Khan is he is no welter weight, he will get sparked by the bigger punchers if he
    faces Brook, Kell will get to him and KO Khan.

    Bigger name = more money it's simple really. As for him not looking that great on his last fight he still won easy think I had it 9-3 or 8-4 and brooks last fight was against Gavin lol there's no way he should of been in the same ring as brook I actually felt sorry for Gavin watching the fight. I agree Kahn could get stopped by big punchers like Thurman etc but he's the only guy and I do mean only guy at 147 that's got a chance of beating floyd.

    Kim Kardishan is a bigger name than Khan, will she get a shot? All Khan has got is a name paid for by American sponsors who want payback, when will this hype ever end and the yanks realise they have made a loss on their investment?

    I think they're thinking they can get to the top without him. Honestly, fighting Floyd is a suicide fight. Floyd has been in with harder punchers, fast punchers and bigger fighters than Kell. Kell has a short reach and will have to chase Floyd around the ring and Floyd will just pick him off and win a UD. I like Kell, but he has nothing that will beat Mayweather. So why fight him, when you can make a lot of money fighting on Box Office in the UK and then probably get the much more winnable Pacquiao fight?

    This is a narrative that was sold to the willing believers. But it simply isn't true. Floyd offered Shane the fight "keep running your mouth and I'll kick your ass before i kick your bosses ass" back in 2007. All witnesses say Shane promptly stopped talking because "he didn't want to interfere with Oscars fight". Fuck that, he backed away from a man, a boxer, challenging him when it was by far the biggest fight available to him. Before that Floyd offered him 6 million after he fought Vargas and Shane said that he had a vacation err a toothache and fought 1 month later for less than 2 million. Floyd has wanted Shane since his 2nd year as a pro. Truth is Shane got the fight when he did because he finally accepted it.

    I have to agree with some of this.

    Floyd owns all types of brook or thurman but everyone seems to be waiting around for mayweather rather than making a name for themselves.

    Bradley is also still a major threat in the divison and he should be in that thurman, brook and khan circle.
