Comments Thread For: Whisper it, Mayweather vs. Khan is a Viable Option

[-PBP-]

A load of shite from start to finish. The writers on this site have a huge stiffy for Khan for some reason.

This writer is the UK editor for this site.

I don't think that this fight gets made. You don't want to start to end your career with Khan on you resume.

Very true and I can't think of anyone more deserving than Khan in the welterweight division, outside of Bradley, Pac or JMM.....IF he beats Devon Alexander.

First of all he won't beat devon so he's not more deserving that him. But its hard to say who is "deserving" as opposed to who's better. Because I can think of several who Khan would not beat in the 147 lb division. Does that make them more deserving?

Keith Thurman
Aydin
Robert Guerrero
Soto Karass
Diego Chavez
Broner

So it's not ducking if Khan swerves Devon to fight Floyd? Of course it is! Yes, Floyd is better, but that's a win-win fight for Khan, a HUGE payday, and he doesn't want to jeopardise that by fighting Devon, a fight he could very definitely lose. Beating Devon to win the IBF belt would clearly make the Floyd fight bigger, as it would be a unification, and Khan surely needs a fight between now and May anyway, so there's literally no reason NOT to fight Devon for the title unless you aren't confident of winning and making the Floyd fight bigger. He knows Devon could beat him and make him look bad in the process, so he'll probably hold out for Floyd in May or face a soft touch in the interim. Pathetic.

Khan is 2-2 in his last four, got drilled by Danny Garcia inside 4 rounds, just went LIFE AND DEATH with Julio Diaz, and he's the front runner for Floyd? Seriously lame. At least if he beat Devon it'd be somewhat justifiable, but right now? It's nonsensical.

The front runners for Floyd are clearly Garcia and Tim Bradley: both unbeaten, very clever, young, strong. Everyone's talking about Khan's speed, but speed alone won't beat Mayweather, who himself is just as fast as Khan and with much better timing, defence, stamina, balance, greater experience, power and a better chin. People seem to have the misconception that Khan is some kind of hero in the UK. He's not Hatton: most people in Britain can't stand him, he's co cky and deluded and embarrasses himself every time he opens his mouth and refers to himself in the third person.

I repeat. The guys that may deliver a competitive and lucrative FMJr fight right now are (in this order): Manny Pacquiao, Tim Bradley, and Amir Khan. Manny and Tim are Top Rank... Khan is not...

If you want to stop Danny's career, put him in front of Floyd next.

Canelo was the biggest draw Mayweather will ever see... NOBODY is going to make him that much money ever again... and NOBODY is going to pay to see him fight losers like khan anymore.

This is the same thing they said after ODH. were they right?

Respectfully, the biggest selling point of a floyd fight is will he lose. I think if Broner or Manny can position themselves as legitimate theats in the eyes of casual fans they will both be as big as Canelo and ODH.

[Betdwn]

Why not. Money will thrash whoever gets tossed in there against him anyway. I don't mind Khan seeing getting slapped around again. Plus, I think it could entertaining for three to five rounds.

Nah he should fight Martinez at 154 ............

Nah he should fight Martinez at 154 ............

... He should... But someone is needed to pull strings in order to keep Martinez standing into the ring...
