It's possible. He has the body type to move up to 154 and maybe 160.
His style will have to change moving to 147 though. I don't think he will carry all of that speed up. He may still be quick but I doubt he will keep that bum rush style at higher weights, if he wants to be successful.
Khan would be a boss at 147. I can imagine it. I don't think he beats Mayweather though.Comment

I agree with this. Khan will naturally suit 147, hes a tall 140lber, got broad shoulders and can easily put on 7lbs of muscle for 147.
Whether he maintains that blinding speed is another thing, but where he loses a bit of speed at 147, i think he'll gain a bit of power (at least some heavier hands).
If Khan gets through his 140lb venture, then he'll do good things at 147. Whether he beats Floyd or Pac is another matter entirelyComment

From 140-147? I would give you, Khan is the biggest money fight for Floyd outside of Pacquiao.
But in terms of toughest from 140-147? I'd go with:
1. Pacquiao
2. Ortiz
3. Berto[fight would never happen, Al Haymon fighters]
4. Bradley
5. Jones
6. Khan
At 147 i'd favor Ortiz, Bradley, Jones and Berto over Khan right now.
If Khan goes up to 147 and looks good against a top 3 WW then I may change my mind. But right now those guys at 147 are better fights in terms of difficulty, and Bradley is a more difficult fight too.
Khan is the biggest fight money wise though, in terms of fanbase.Comment
