    Pacquiao or Martinez. Khan would not give Floyd ANY trouble. His only impressive win is against Maidana.

      Sadly, I don't think Floyd would get any credit for beating any of these guys. The young guys would be accused of being too green i.e. Victor Ortiz and the more experienced guys would be accused of being too old. So Mayweather doesn't win no matter what.

        Khan can box and has good speed. He could give Floyd problems but with a suspect chin and Floyd's skills, I don't see Khan winning anytime soon.

        Khan's best bet is to get Floyd when he is old and Floyd is the only fighter where anyone would get full credit for beating him when he is old and past it. Nobody would care how old he is, just as long as he loses. Floyd's standards are set very high by his paying costumers/haters.

        Khan needs to fight Bradley and the winner of Ortiz and Berto II. Then talk about Floyd in late 2012 or 2013 if he comes out victorious.

        Remember, Khan gets or used to get top notch sparring with Pac. In a few years if his chin stays intact, he could be a big name fighter with a few belts. Of course Mayweather and Pac would be retired at that point.

          It's too early for Mayweather-Khan. Mayweather-Khan should happen after Amir has moved up to 147 and collected a belt against a good fighter.
          Well said Wazaa.

          Martinez at 154 is the only fight I want to see, if Floyd/Pac doesn't happen May 5.

            Martinez for me even though I would rather it be Pac. Honestly Pac had me su****ious with the drug refusal but honestly now that I think about it I don't think it has anything to do with any of that, I honestly believe it's all Arums fault. Floyd and Arum just don't get along and neither guy wants to put money in the other guy pocket. If you noticed ever guy who has fought Pac lately has been top rank. No hate but everyone since Hoya. Even Mosley and Juan left promotional companies to get the fight, it's all about money.

                Fans have spoken. Martinez should be Floyd's next opponent if he is too uncomfortable fighting Pac. Sergio will take the test and would be happy to be offered $5 million guarantee.

                ;-)
