    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.
    Floyd has always been accused of having home comforts to win his fights. Khan would be ideal for Floyd, but will he duck Khan as well. Floyd doesnt discriminate against who he ducks, it can be anyone who he dont fancy taking on.
    Maybe Khan being associated with Roach is enough to spook Floyd? But i would love to see Floyd come to England to fight Khan. I certainly wouldnt go to America to watch it.

      Amir is not quicker, doesn't have more skills and doesn't hit harder. Then comes that glass chin.. I don't see the point on that fight, but a tuneup for Mayweather's comeback.

        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.
        Kahn has a long torso...he fights the way his body allows him to.

        Wittaker can't teach Kahn to have a shorter body.

            concur 100%, and it's a great way for Floyd to prepare for speed, and some of Freddie's training techniques. If not Amir Khan, I'd go with Berto, because people claim Pacquiao was ducking him and not fighting young fighters in their prime, and Berto has fast hands with medium-decent power. If not those two, a really good southpaw. But Amir makes the most sense for the fans, Mayweather, Khan, and for boxing.
