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

[Roberto Vasquez]

I support this fight. When has Khan ever been in a boring fight? He's also quite funny (in a laugh at him sort of way) in interviews and in the build up. I'd like to see Khan's style against Mayweather definitely. I just hope Khan doesnt get knocked out early or it will be disappointing as a fight.

I picked Canelo as being an over-rated bum going into the Mayweather fight. It was obvious, list his best 3 wins. His best win was Austin Trout, who is so far unproven. Not that long ago Canelo couldn't even finish Matthew Hatton. The problem is now because he beat Canelo *no one* doubts Floyd, when maybe they should be looking at the fact that maybe Canelo just wasn't that good in the first place. As for Floyd I didnt need the win against Canelo to make me think he is a great fighter. I already knew that! I still don't think he's invincible, no one is.

Khan is a much more viable opponent than Guerrero and Ortiz...let's be realistic here...Guerrero has zero speed and throws looping punches and Ortiz while fast and hard hitting doesn't have the mentality to endure. Khan may be glass chined but he is faster and more technical than both fighters aforementioned combined. In fact if I had to choose which of the three would put on the better showing versus Mayweather I would say Khan would although I see him getting KO'd if he forces the issue. The difference is Khan has speed to get his punches off if Mayweather fights him in the center of the ring...things that guerrero, ortiz, and Canelo all lacked. In order to stand any remote chance versus Mayweather you need speed and really good jab and those I think are Amir's greatest strengths. I'm totally not against this fight happening because in the end i'd rather see a guy get KO'd trying to go for the win than guys who just want to see the end of the 12th round and the check it brings.

This pretty much sums it up for me.

I think Khan will approach the fight with the same mentality as Hatton. He'll probably get KO'd but what the hell at least we'll see Floyd in an entertaining fight for a change.

Plus as a Brit this is the fight which appeals more to me than the likes of Alexander and Garcia, plus I'm sure Garcia will get his shot soon enough.

I honestly think that Golden Boy Promotions goal is to stage Mayweather vs. Khan at Wembley Stadium in London, with CBS broadcasting it over-the-air live with Sky Box Office handling the PPV side of things in the United Kingdom. Floyd then can hype it as he's return boxing back to over-the-air broadcasting like Ali and other greats were on channels like ABC with big time fights. Then Floyd will be able to have a few more options, say if Maidana beats Broner or Garcia gets a couple of big wins, Martinez gets out of his HBO deal etc.

I thought Khan was Floyds opponent to fight in England? Im not sure its a fight I want to see if in Vegas.......the whole point of the fight is that we can see Floyd in England.

This fight is a waste of time

Floyd's last hurrah is gonna be Broner. You can see it from a mile away. Floyd is getting huge guarantees from Showtime. So he really doesn't give a **** what his shows sell. 2014 is gonna be about turning Broner into a crossover star. Garcis is the logical choice for Floyd. But he gonna feed him to AB. And Garcia is gonna have to KO AB to get a draw. and after AB beats Danny, the hype machine will start. Floyd and AB will have a public falling out. The social media wars will start. And by May 2015, Floyd-Broner will produce the type numbers welll worth the couple Ls Showtime will likely take in 2014. If Floyd convincingly beats AB, he'll have his "last fight" in Sept 2015, which will draw big. If AB is competitive or beats Floyd, they will have a rematch in Floyd's "last fight" that's gonna do ridiculous numbers.

Total waste of a PPV. Seriously, khan hasn't done a freakin thing to deserve this but get knocked out a few times already. Total garbage I tell ya!

it's a big money event at wembley... I remember tim witherspoon, oliver McCall & lennox all wanted to fight frank Bruno in England because of the large purse they would receive... world title fights can be huge over there...

I think if Maidana beats Broner and looks good he might get a Floyd fight ; too be honest Id rather see that than Floyd vs Khan .
