    I understand Bush you hate the business side of this sport..But without it these fighters who are putting their bodies on the line won't get paid properly for it..At the end of the day,all these fighters are trying to get paid..If Khan had beat Garcia and then a legit WW he would have made the most sense for Mayweather..That's not overrating Khan,it's understanding the business of this sport..
    You won't understand why I believe Khan is overrated if you won't accept the fact that Khan was looked at as an opponent for Floyd if he beat Garcia in december. Understand that 1st & you'll know.

      Of course he was,as is Guerrero who has only had one fight at WW..But what I'm saying is,Khan had he beat Garcia and then beat a true WW(ranked of course)he would have been Mayweathers best option at WW do you deny this??

        So, are you trying to say that Khan would have fought another fighter, (a welterweight), between Garcia & Floyd in december??

          This is just for future use by Floyd nuthuggers to justify a fight.

            There is no doubt in my mind he would have fought a WW before a fight with Floyd...

              By now, most realize it's hard to beat Floyd at his own game. Even his most ardent naysayers gotta admit as much. And those who bet against him the most, have no choice but to remain quiet lest they are proven wrong again.

              Do they have a puncher's chance? Of course. They all do.

                I think Bradley would be the most competitive and by that i mean steal a couple of rounds.

                Mayweather beats everyone at 147 pretty convincingly imo.

                    I don't think that fight would have happened in December.

                    But, we'll never know now after Garcia did us all a favour.

                      Damn right. Garcia sure pulled through for me. I don't know how I would have handled Khan being allowed to share the same ring with Floyd.
