    Honestly this is what i just do not get.

    If they hate Khan so much surely they should be over the moon at the possibility of him facing Matthysse in the final of the tourny, no?

      Golden boy is unto some fishy stuff. I see most people whining about Garcia not fighting the winner of Lucas/Peterson. Yeah that would such, but how Khan ended up being Floyd's number 2?? Now that's something to worry about. Plus the talk about Floyd/Khan in England.

        I think Oscar will give the fans that 140 superfight
        I agree that a high paying fight with easy to beat Khan is like a reward for winning the real tournament. But both Khan and Garcia are talking about going to 147 in their next fight. I think Matthysse is the scary guy that everybody but Peterson is trying to avoid.

          Well we can still get a clear #1 at 140 if we get Garcia-Peterson/Lucas. Let Khan move up to 147 and try to get a decent win over Alexander.

            I dunno man... Khan getting ranked #2 at WW by some alphabet org, Khan talking about moving up to WW soon, Khan talking about fighting Alexander.... sounds like GBP is maneuvering Khan for a Floyd fight to cash him out.

              I think we could see Berto/Soto Karass winner fight Kell Brook late this year, and Khan-Alexander happens. Than the winners fight each other, and if one of the british guys makes it out of that, Floyd could go to England Fall 2014 and fight one. If it happened like that, I couldn't complain. I doubt Khan even beats Devon or Kell Brook.

                I don't see Matt as some scary guy, he went a full fight with Zab and Alexander. I'm not sure these guys (except Kahn, he might die if he fights Matty) are worried about Matty.

                The fights will happen. I expect Peterson to rough him up and beat him decisively and then for NSB to unanimously declare that he was overhyped

                  I agree. I thought khan being ranked was disgusting. At least after his putrid performance on Saturday have the ****ing decency to move him out when the next rankings come out.

                    I mean its smart money...makes Floyd happy because that's another easy payday in his six fight deal with Showtime. It would be his biggest money fight since Cotto and maybe even bigger considering the UK ppv he can get his hands on. He really doesn't have to worry about being roughed up by the likes of Cotto/Guerrero/Canelo

                    Amir will come with pitty pat darts, Mayweather leans back, counter checks him and Kahn does the stanky leg before going down, truly, easy money. If I'm Floyd Mayweather, I'm telling Schaefer that they need to boost Amir up to a respectable level and make it happen

                      Who has stopped Alexander? As a matter of fact, who's been able to even drop Alexander?
