    KO'd Malignaggi (who has a great chin), KO'd Judah (Garcia and Matthysse couldn't), dropped and beat Maidana (Matthysse's daddy), and was robbed by a doping Peterson.

    When you consider the above and forget for a second that Khan got KTFO by Garcia and went life and death with Julio Diaz, his resume's definitely better than Robert Guerrero's.

      Good post. Khan has really been both overrated and underrated to the extremes on this forum. Khan is a really, really good fighter, he's just not perfect.

      To ne, I thing Mayweather-Khan would be a really good and interesting fight to watch. Khan has the speed to potentially land a lot Mayweather, and I'd like to see how Floyd approaches fighting Khan.

        He brings more money to the table than a lot of the options at the moment, and to be honest his résumé isn't that bad (Win or lose), he has taken on fights he wasn't suppose to through his own ******ity or bravery. I don't know anyone else who has a good mix of names on their résumé at 140 apart from Paulie Maglinnaggi. The media hype for a Mayweather fight would go overdrive from the lovers and the haters which I think Mayweather would be looking at, and to be frank we gets KO by the first big right hand that Mayweather lands on his chin.

          Little risk, big reward. Khan will try and fight Mayweather's fight, and he's just not good enough to beat Floyd at his own game.

          Forget what he's done/not done. Khan=$$, simple as that. Meantime they give Danny another fight so he too will=$$ in September.

          All the while building up the next 2 guys for 2015.

          Same ****, different toilet.

            I'd say Khan and Garcia duke it out for the Mayweather shot

              That could be a great fight in the future.

              Ideally, I think Floyd should fight either Pacquiao or Bradley/JMM next. Other than Floyd, they are the best welters out there. At 154 he could fight Martinez, originally I never wanted a Floyd/Martinez fight cos Martinez is at 160 but then Floyd said he'd be willing if Martinez got his ass down to 154...Martinez said he'd do that and Floyd shut up LOL

              I guarantee you, by the end of 2014, Floyd will NOT have fought Pacquiao and will have made money off of Garcia for sure and possibly Khan if Khan gets past Devon. Floyd is not fighting any legit threats, he hasn't done so in years. We should all know that by now...unless Pac looks less than stellar against Rios or gets KOd.

              In an ideal world, where boxing was governed by a just sporting body, Khan would fight Devon and if he won, he would have to duke it out with Garcia to get a shot at Floyd, in the mean time Floyd would fight Pacquiao and the winner would then fight any of Bradley/Marquez/winner of Khan/Garcia. Unfortunately, the right thing doesn't count in boxing.

                Man I'd be worried for Khan's health if he fought Garcia again.... he nearly flew outta the ring last time.... if they fight again Danny might toy with him and make him twerk and do da booty dew... it would be too embarrassing for Khan....he'd finish him with a KO in round 7 that will allow him to showcase his breakdancing skills

                  nothing lately ... he got a few good wins and put in some good performances a while ago but lately he has looked very bad ... but I'd imagine the fight would sell pretty well all the same.

                    He's a good dancer though.... dancing with the stars is very popular and it might draw in more viewers if Khan does the Harlem shake like he did against Garcia
