    Amir Khan is not a choice, it's a lack of one.

    Sorry, but it's true. Khan doesn't deserve the fight but brings money in. I won't be paying for this PPV, but if this fight does happen, I can't really say **** because nobody is out there. Don't bring up Top Rank and HBO fighters into this argument. If Mayweather has to fight Khan for now, while Danny is making some noise in the WW division, I wouldn't mind that. Floyd vs Danny right now is too one sided. I am willing to be patient with the Amir Khan fight, if we can get a bigger Floyd vs Danny fight later.

    Sure sure, except Danny owns a brutal destruction over Khan and all Khan has done above 140 is almost get stopped by a former lightweight while Danny just beat 1 of the best fighters in the world.

      I agree with you. I would rather see a Floyd vs Danny fight over any Floyd vs anyone fight. As a Philadelphian, if there is anyone I want Floyd to lose to, it's Garcia. But I'm saying, if Khan has to be the sacrificial lamb on May, for us to see a bigger, more credible, Mayweather vs Garcia on Sept? **** it...I'll wait. I won't be buying the Mayweather vs Khan PPV.

          Would Garcia getting the fight in September be such a bad thing? He could fight in Jan/Feb and then again on the undercard of Mayweather v Khan. I think Guerrero would be a good opponent for that date, if he can dispose of him in good fashion there would be more desire from the casuals for the match up. In the end it would result in Garcia getting more money, all he'd have to do is wait 4 more months and keep winning.

            **** that. If Floyd fights Khan in may, then someone like Martinez of GGG better be up next. That's a whole year wasted if Khan gets Floyd. Garcia won't make up for the Khan fight.

              Garcia, Martinez, Golovkin.

              Should be that way.

                  While I agree with you about Khan, not sure Danny Garcia is a bigger fight in Sept. then it is in May. He will probably have one fight at WW between now and fall of next year.
                  Who can he beat at Welter that make people think he is a serious threat to Floyd?

                  On merit Garcia deserves a shot after cleaning out 140 and that performance against Lucas, but i don't know what he can do to get anyone outside of us that follow boxing closely to get excited about that fight. Danny is a low key guy and his dad's mouth isn't enough to hype a fight against Floyd IMO...

                    That's a funny thing to imagine, Garcia fighting on the undercard while Khan in the main event. Unless Garcia is ok with waiting in line, I don't see how he doesn't land the Mayweather fight first. There just is nobody out there reasonable and credible besides Garcia and Thurman.
