Possible Matchup: Amir Khan vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Prediction & Discussion Thread

[Weebler I]

Is it true the general public in England knows Khan? I don't see how this fight does big numbers period. Khan isn't well known as some of you might say.

Edit, how can they even hype Khan up for May? In his last fight he got knocked down for pete's sake against a fighter who he was suppose to beat easily. Come on...

Yes, household name. Only trouble is, if the fight is in Las Vegas the UK PPV isn't likely go be that high due to it being on at 4am. The fight really needed to be in the UK and it won't be.

I don't really believe all the Khan-Floyd stuff tbh, I'll be surprised if the fight is made.

i hope the fight happens. All khans fight are entertaining wheather khan beats someone with speed or gets caught and wobbles. His fights are not boring

I hope this fight does not happen.

Wasn't khan one of the fighters Floyd was ducking last year? Now he is a cherry pick? What changed?

didnt hatton do well in the uk buys? wasnt that in america? of course hatton was at another level of popularity, he was so damn popular. i remember that song they made up for him, they sang it every fight lol

Ricky Hatton had a massive support in the UK, he fought out of the UK all his career, unlike Khan who left the UK relatively quickly.

Khan not a popular fighter in the UK at all, only among the Asian (Pakistani) community - most people think he is all talk, the lost a huge amount of credibility for such a poor display in the Diaz fight.

If the fight was in the UK the PPV would be strong as fans would be buying into FMJ and the event as a whole, rather than wanting to see Khan.

Most people would be watching to see Khan get KO'd, and just be disappointed that it would be Floyd Mayweather doing it.

Rest assured if the fight was in the UK Khan would be ****ing the UK drum - wearing the Union Jack colors etc.

Yet in his last fight he wore the colors of Pakistan...

Why are we even talking about this? A fight with Khan is pointless at this point. It will prove absolutely nothing for Floyd.

I'd much rather see fights against: 1)Bradley 2)Danny Garcia 3)Manny Pacquiao in that order.

Why fight someone who isn't even in the p4p top 25?

Anything less than Mayweather KO <5 rounds is a disappointment

Khan is a great boxer.. Why do people doubt this man's skills. Yes he lost to Danny Garcia by stoppage but the man has some skills, weak chin or not. Khan's defense falls short when he is pressured against the ropes, but Mayweather is not a pressure fighter! There IS a possibility that he can knockout Khan thanks to his weak chin, but what if he doesn't, this is not a guaranteed knockout! We can experience a great boxing session with 2 great boxers if Khan can hold up. He has faster hands than Mayweather, excellent boxing skills, great footwork, and is game with his hands to make the fight exciting.. Nobody will ever beat Mayweather, but I would love to watch this fight.

Floyd is a wizard in the boxing game and has NOTHING TO PROVE. Everbody after Alvarez is an easy Win. Bradley doesn't have enough one hit power to stop Mayweather. Bradley's heart outweighs his boxing skills. All he has to offer Mayweather is some good boxing skills, which fails compared to Mayweather's technical boxing skills. Bradley loses lopsided decision I am sure.. Danny Garcia will not fight Mayweather, Garcia's pops already let it be known there is no interest in a Mayweather fight and I DO NOT blame them. Manny Pacquiao never had the skills to beat Mayweather then, and without a doubt he will lose a very lopsided decision now. Pacman's name and promotional push far outweighs his realistic boxing skills.. Throw Amir Khan at him and at least see what happens, Mayweather has NOTHING to prove, just box EVERYONE out there.
