both boxers are willing to face eachother.
floyd said he wanted a fight in the UK. it would be right before the olympic games (so no problems with OSDT either lol).
all pointers seems to show that this match has to be made. assuming at least both stay on the winning course. what say you the boxingscene member?
Khan is moving up after Peterson. Bradley from what I know is fighting next on Pac-Marquez undercard, but not known if it's a 140 or 147 fight. I think Matthysse blew his chances when he withdrew from Morales fight .....
i thought khan said he was fighting 2 more fights at 140 after peterson?if not,then he needs to fight ortiz,or berto 1st, before even being considered for a mayweather fight
let khan beat bradley and mathysse 1st.i personally thinks mathysse stops himKhan is moving up after Peterson. Bradley from what I know is fighting next on Pac-Marquez undercard, but not known if it's a 140 or 147 fight. I think Matthysse blew his chances when he withdrew from Morales fight .....
Thought I'd bump this. Bradley has recently joined Top Rank, so it's a great possibility, that he will be the next opponent for Pacquiao. Nothing has been announced yet, but things are slowly rolling that way.
Which makes me think Khan is next for Floyd. He is, I believe, beside Pac and Canelo, one of the bigger financial draws right now. And since Floyd is a sucker for Money, this is an important factor to be considered.
And with the whole Ortiz debacle now circling around, I'd think Floyd will not want to fight in Las Vegas in the next fight.
The Ortiz situation will die down in a couple weeks and nobody will really give a sh*t, im not doubting a Kahn fight but it wont be held in the uk...there just isnt enough revenue. Watch Kahn get hyped up big time in American media over the next few month though.

I think Mayweather would destroy Khan unless he gets a hell of a better real quick. I can see how Floyd likes the idea of a massive fight abroad to enhance his legacy. Make no mistake if this fight was at Wembley Mayweather would have A LOT of support in the crowd. Khan is spot on when he says he is more appreciated in USA than back home. He can thank Frank Warrens handling of his early career for that, too many PPVs on SKY against total bums.
Mayweather wont fight over here unless it's someone he can destroy.
If Khan beats Judah, I can see him and Mayweather being a distance fight. And, with a stadium full of mainly Khan fans - who knows what kind of impact that could have on even experienced judges.
I use to kinda feel this way also but I have always also said that I dont think there is a righty in history that can hit a prime Floyd with a clean shot. I also said that there is no righty in boxing who has a chance to beat Floyd unless they are a good size bigger then him and can straight up bully him. I think Floyd feels the same way. I think he feels like the crowd is definitely a risk but Khan isnt a Southpaw and he's not big enough to overpower Floyd so it will be a straight skill fight and no one is going to beat him like that.
I also think his mindset seemed to change in the Mosley fight. I felt that he never froze in a big fight or because of the crowd but I dont think he ever really like wasnt aware of it. With Mosley to me it seemed like the 1st time where he was in total control. Where he like truly fed off the crowd. Where he was like MJ or something. Like he knows he's the star now and he put the big event together, and everyone is there to see him wether its win or lose. Thats why I think he would be less scared of over seas now and I also think his ego may be such that he thinks he might have 30,000 or more cheering for him.
He thinks the UK love him and some say that the UK isnt fully supportive of Khan so he'll be ok. Not only that but you also have to think about the "Pac" fight. I think Floyd's tune will soon change if it hasnt already and he will focus more on fighting Khan 1st. That might upset the public. Khan will be seen as a good fight in boxing and the mainstream will catch on some but if you have it in Wembley then that will silent the mainstream. It will seem exciting to them. Then add to it he's trained by Roach, spars with Pac all the time, and many think he can win. I think he may find out that if its not Pac 1st then he almost has to fight in Wembly

I think there's a good chance it would be in the UK, Wembley is a 90,000 capacity stadium and yes there's a good chance it would be a sellout at a few hundred quid a ticket. That is serious Money
Sick of Pac/Floyd, maybe the both should retire or forced to fight each other some how. They're the ones ruining the sport for not making the big fight. Bunch of clowns.
i don't think they NEED to fight eachother. it would not actually do a whole lot, but calm down the pacfart-flomo war on the forums.
it's always worth looking at the alternatives too! and khan floyd before the olympics is a great opportunity for floyd to come greet the UK fans.
Pacquiao vs Floyd or go on permanent vacation.
i see pac floyd in the late 2012. i'm sure pac will fight bradley first ,which leaves out any other combination. could be wrong tho.
I think Khan will be next for Floyd, but not in June. I'm thinking more nov-dec 2012.
And even though Floyd says he wants to fight in The UK, I don't think he actually will. It would be in Vegas.
