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

      What don't you guys get ? No casual fans knows who GGG even is. He's not even on Bradley's level of hype in America and that says a lot. The fact you guys even bring him up as a option is a breath waster.

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.
        Of course there are opponents, but they are too much risk for Floyd. Golovkin and Pacman, those are the fights people would wanna see. Khan, Garcia, Gurrero, Alvarez = lot's of hype no substance.

          So was Guerrero. It happens. Just deal with it.

            Not gettin at you Bush, but Garcia hasn't even fought above 140 and Matthysse wasn't on any pound for pound lists.

            Garcia is better than Khan, but he matches up very poorly stylistically against Mayweather. It would be a horrible one-sided fight and even worse spectacle.

            To the OP, don't get it twisted, Floyd has plenty of options, it's just that we know he's unwilling to face most of them (or at least the ones we most want to see).

              Danny Garcia
              Devon Alexander
              Keith Thurman
              Erislandy Lara
              Hell, even Lucas Matthysse should get a Floyd fight before Khan.

                I don't know about that. HBO is pushing Golovkin hard.

                  Next Mayweather fight should be on regular Showtime.

                    OK Garcia hasn't fought above 140, so what. He holds the only clear win ever earned against Mattysse. Who besides Danny is no less than the 2nd best fighter at 140.

                    Meanwhile in Khan's 1st appearance over 140 he gets dropped and wobbled by a faded former lightweight. Now there's simply no way to act like Khan has done better than Garcia in any way, shape, form or fashion.

                    Now judging by what we know about Khan and Garcia, I'd always say Garcia has a better chance against the supposed best fighter in the sport over someone as mediocre as Khan.

                      You understand boxing and you know how styles work. You may dislike the idea of Khan getting the fight, but anyone can see Garcia's style is made for Floyd to toy with. Boring shut-out, no thanks, watched enough of those.

                      Khan may or may not get KO'd but he's got some of the fastest hands in the sport and is always in entertaining fights - isn't that why we watch? to be entertained?

                      Personally I'd rather watch Pacquiao, Martinez, Golovkin or Thurman but if it's between Khan and Garcia, I at least want to be entertained.
