It looks like that might be the painful reality.
The Floyd camp actually said that they opted for the catchweight with Canelo because they were reading NSB and saw that Canelo's camp had posted the CW interest. Hopefully with all the negativity of this fight neither fight gets made.
Alexander is better & has definitely done more to deserve the fight. (Alexander is a current champion) Real boxing fans know that but Khan is more appealing to the public, brings more money, & Khan would be an easier win for Floyd.
Sadly its a no brainer for team Mayweather.
The name of the fight should be the Mayweather Con, I mean Khan, lol
I do agree with this
Maybe it would. But we all know Floyd couldn't care less about the belt, and why should he? Alexander is not a champion. He's not beaten anyone of note at welterweight. He came up short at 140 too.
I'm sure it probably would have happened, but do you agree that there were crap loads of derogatory threads made to ridicule Khan for wanted a Mayweather fight when he was unified champ at 140?
I found this site after Khan/Peterson so I'm not sure. But from just following the sport I knew that all he had to do was beat Lamont and it would have been done but he got screwed.
But I don't care who Alexander beat. Point is, if Khan and Devon switched positions as of today. Khan/Floyd would be made and it would be a legit fight. Floyd doesn't care about the belt but unification is a marketing tool to justify a fight as legit.
Like he doesn't give a **** about mandatories but used that to justify The Ghost.
Few. I wanted to see it after he was robbed against Peterson .
But that's not my point . If Khan was the reigning IBF welterweight world champion. The fight would have been made a year ago after he beat Randall Bailey. Prove me wrong.

Hmm, a lot of people had a problem with the fight when Khan, by some people, were mentioned as a potential P4P fighter after he beat Judah and was in fact on a winning streak in which he beat a better version of Maidana than the one Alexander beat, and where he also was a unified champ.
People had a lot of problems with Khan then, but they don't have a problem with Garcia now or Alexander. Double standards? :dunno:

Reading comprehension smart ass.
If Khan was on a win streak in which he shut out Maidana and was the reigning IBF champ nobody would have a problem with this fight.

lol accomplished what exactly? Beating a 40 year old man for a paper belt in which the "champ" only threw 90 punches and then beat a Maidana who Khan already beat at his prime weight and a British level - at best - Lee Purdy?
WOW what accomplishments.

This is a good thread. People are ****ting on the Khan fight including myself because it isn't legit and he hasn't done **** to deserve it.
But Alexander, whether you like his style or not, is a welterweight unification fight. If Khan had accomplished what Alexander has at welterweight, this fight would have been signed a year ago and happened already. And nobody would have a problem with it.
This just shows nobody gives a **** about "deserving". They just want to see the "more likeable/entertaining" option.

Would anyone like to see Floyd fight Alexander?
It would quite literally be the saddest match-up of all times. Alexander has neither skills or personality - this despite his few fans are trying to classify him as a "slick" boxer.
:rofl:
Neither, both are rubbish welterweight fights. But I'd watch Floyd vs Provodnikov or Pacquiao. Unfortunately, these won't happen while Arum the scumbag is still running TR.
Neither, both will be boring fights. Garcia earned it more than those two. If he can't pick from the Top Rank stable... The only draw from GBP is to have Broner fight him.

Mayweather vs Alexander would be a horrible fight. No thanks! With Khan, he could make it interesting early on and then Floyd would get a knockout in the later rds.
I can't believe anybody would accept Mayweather/Khan as a fight! Maybe it is being pushed by Khan fans hoping he gets one last payday or even Mayweather fans that are ok with his resume and an easy fight but either way it is a bad matchup due to Khan failing in so many big fights. What's next Berto?
He only failed in one big fight, Garcia.
Against that, he has beaten Barrera, Kotelnik, Malignaggi, Maidana, Judah, PEDerson and Diaz.

I would rather see him fight Alexander because he is a true threat to Floyd. He's young fast and skilled. I think it would be a better fight than people think.
