    Amir Khan vs Floyd Mayweather jr.; ITS A NO BRAINER

    Its such an obvious fight that makes sense for both Floyd jr. & Amir khan.

    Its a massive ppv fight both here in the states & in the UK. Floyd can get a fairly huge purse fighting a young rising star in amir khan. Floyd always talked about wanting to fight in the UK, well floyd vs amir khan @ wembley sounds just right.

    Floyd gets a tune up before pac that can be sold as a legitimate opponent & get paid at the same time & amir khan gets the fight that he wants & international exposure. Both fighters have connections to golden boy so this fight would be fairly easy to make.

    No fight other than pac vs floyd would be as big as Khan vs Floyd.

      after overcoming maidana's aggression & power & (if) he can beat bradley's skills (headbutting/clinching/being african american), khan can definitely be a legitimate contender against floyd.

            One thing he lacks is slick head movement when retreatring watch when Maidana backs him and gives him hell in the 10th alot of shots could have been avoided with feints and dipping under punches.

            He doesn't move his head enough even though his hands are higher than when he was knocked out by Prescott this is one thing that is missing form all the improvement he has made since being with Roach.

              After Amir unifies at 140, this would be a legit match-up.

                Kahn can't unify anything.

                  I can't see Khan beating Bradley.

                  I bet Khan has a tough fight this weekend and it kills a lot of luster around Khan.

                  I like Khan and am a big fan. But he is vulnerable.

                    You're right, Khan's head and upper body movement need a lot of work and I don't know if Roach can teach him those type of skills to add to his arsenal. He should team up with Pernell Whitaker like Zab and hire him as a secondary coach.

                    Khan with that type of movement would be incredibly difficult to beat but right now he fights quite rigid and upright most of the time. His defense is way better than back in the day but has a lot of room for improvement.
