I think Floyd v Khan is the plan for May. It all seems to point that way. But they can't sell the fight with Khan's last win being against Diaz. Say what you want about Floyd's opponent, but they're usually coming off notable wins.
I reckon they cancelled the Devon fight with it being too risky and are trying to negotiate another opponent for Khan in December, to build him up for Floyd. But it's got to be someone decent, good name. Mosley is busy otherwise he'd have been a shoe in. Maybe Guerrero? He had big trouble with Floyd's speed, maybe they think Khan could do a good job on him, and if he KO's Guerrero that'd be a massive promotion boost for the Floyd fight.
Could be wrong, but makes sense.
I doubt Khan is going to fight Guerrero. He doesnt want that fight its one he can lose just as easily as he can win and he probably is going to mess around fighting someone good like Guerrero with the Mayweather fight looming next year.
I bet he pisses all of us off and announces hes fighting some irrelevant ass fighter.
I'd like to see him prove me wrong, though.
He'll have to get another decent win under his belt before Floyd will fight him. Floyd doesn't fight people coming off wins against the likes of Julio Diaz. Whether you like him or not, most of his opponent are coming off big wins. Khan went life and death with Diaz and lost two out of three in his previous fights and won't have fought in over a year should the fight happen in May. He'll need to make a statement in the WW division to sell the fight. A win over Guerrero would definitely do that. He can outbox Guerrero. But he can also be knocked out.
Queen Con isn't even confident enough of beating Alexander...:lol1: he knows his career is done, he's just looking for that cash-out pay day to end his career.
Alexander is more dangerous than Robert Guerrero. He is basically better in every single category.
It's either ghost Garcia or some one nobody cares about. Good call tho op but he shoulda fought Devon, he's the most legit right now at 147 for him to get a Floyd fight
Not happening. Khan is going to wait until May, which I can't exactly blame him, but it's still considered a duck. If he was 100% sure he could beat Alexander he would have accepted the fight with no problems.
he's not fighting between now and May
.
Fixed. If Floyd is handing you a lottery ticket you don't risk it by taking an interim fight no matter who it is.
he's not fighting a threat......
guerrero (a southpaw) is not an adequate tune up... plus he's rough, cuts etc could put that mayweather payday in jeopardy....
name someone who cant punch but is relatively well ranked... there's your tune up.
that would have been Devon
Wudnt the Ghost be a bigger risk than Devon?
Ghost is a come forwards fighter who likes to brawl and we all know Khan always succumbs to brawling, he just feels the need to brawl, when there is no need to
Diaz was also a brawler pressure fighter and look how Khan struggled
