Before an actual Mayw fight.. the only way i see mayw fighting khan is as an big Exit fight... due to it will be in England.. in a big stadium w LOTS of Khan and MayW English fans.. thaats bout it thoo.
    Bradley's not going to fight him before he gets a Pac or Floyd fight so the division will be cleaned out if he beats Zab tonight. Then he could fight those WW's that you say but why risk that fight when you can fight Floyd for 10x more money?

      Uh, nevermind about this thread now. If Im Floyd then I would fight Pac 1st instead. Thats how good Khan looked tonight. I was the 1st one on here to call Zab done, even when he stopped that dude with that beast uppercut in the 2nd round I thought he looked like crap when everyone was sweating him. With that being said, you can just look at a guy and tell when it clicks and it clicked.

      I thought Ward was all hype and looked like crap his whole career until he fought Miranda and you could tell it clicked. He's looked like a different guy ever since. The same with Khan tonight. This was the best he's ever moved, his chin was strong, he looked confident, and he's in beast mode. I want it after Pac now. Even if Pac is better, which you still have to give him the benefit, the Khan fight just is perfect "after" Pac in Wembley. Then he can either retire or finish with Martinez

        if it already hasnt. I think Floyd does truly 100% want to fight Pac and I think he was dead serious when he was saying that Pac was next. There is no other fight right now that could him hyped or make enough money to compete with it "except" for 1. Khan is the only exception. I think Floyd made those comments because he looked at Khan as more of a future opponent but with the way Khan, Roach, & GBP have been talking lately, I think he see's the fight as being legit right now.

        Therefore I dont think you will hear Floyd talk as much about fighting Pac next anymore. Ive already been looking and I already think there's been a very suttle change. I think he may even regret saying it in the 1st place. However, there are still some problems. At 1st Khan & Roach were talking about the end of 12 and that would be too long for Floyd to sit idle again. The Pac fight woulnt happen to mid 13 at the earliest then. He would take alot of heat between now & then.

        Since then though both Khan & Roach are now starting to say mid 12 which is when most thought the Pac fight would be. Floyd could easily fight Pac 1st but why do that? The Pac fight is almost like the pinnacle. You dont want to fight Pac, have the boxing air go down some and then fight Khan. You be better off fighting Khan 1st, let Pac fight someone like Bradley, and then the 2 meet in the summer of 12 for the big fight.

        Not only that but it gives Floyd what his uncle & dad want which is more fights before a Pac fight to knock off the inactivity & rust. He may have hurt himself by talking more about the Pac fight this time around because thats all the fans & media will talk about from now on and e****ally after the Ortiz fight. I dont think the mainstream will be sold on a Khan fight at 1st and Floyd will take alot of heat but then the fight would build huge interest when they find out that Khan is trained by Roach, Roach wants the fight, Khan is a guy alot think could win, he spars with Pac, and most of all the fight will be in Wembley.

        I think if not in the UK then the mainstream still might feel iffy about it and rip Floyd but if he goes there then that will intrique alot of boxing fans, e****ally if they are 100% sure that both Floyd & Pac are fighting fresh new talent like Ortiz, Khan, & Bradley or Jones while also are letting it be known that they will fight eachother next. Ofcourse none of this happens unless all these guys win all there fights ahead of time which is no gimmie. Zab could give Khan hell, Ortiz could give Floyd hell, JMM could give Pac hell, Brooke or whoever could give Khan problems, Bradley or Jones could give Pac problems, and Khan could give Floyd hell.

        At the end though, I think Floyd's tune will soon change if it already hasnt but I dont think he should be ripped for it, atleast not by boxing fans. We all know that Floyd-Khan is a big & legit fight e****ally if its in the UK and we want to see Pac fight a young lion in the meantime like a Bradley or Jones. Then the 2 best meet for the Super fight. Its a perfect setup to me
        very good post..........

        floyd may have just placed himself in a more uncomfortable position by saying pac is next after ortiz...though it may just be in the heat of trying to sell the vic fight.....

        considering his closest of kin believes floyd needs more tune up fights b4 pac, floyd's "pac you're next" likely just added pressure to floyd himself and to his team.......

        fans would likely not be very understanding if floyd fight any one not named pacman right after vic....

        floyd's position on the ost issue is getting stale and being undermined by floyd's failure to submit a deposition in court...

        posturing for a floyd khan fight this early is testing the waters/the public's acceptance of this match-up...over the pac floyd fight happening first....

        fortunately for floyd, arum and roach appears to be playing along with the idea...

        and the master plan might be to squeeze both pac and floyd to the max b4 their expected epic duel......

          Suddenly they're pushing Khan on Floyd. Why? 'Cause Freddie thinks Khan is a better boxer than Manny?

          Are they trying to use Khan as a guinea pig to see if if they can mold Manny's style to Khan's if Khan is successful at giving Floyd problems, but not necessarily beat him?

          Everybody knows the infamous Team Pacquiao excuses for not fighting Floyd.

          The truth has been out for the longest. Floyd should just move on without Pacquiao and their delay playing games.
