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

[-PBP-]

Where have they been dismissed as quality opponents? People have been saying that Garcia should fight Floyd since he beat Matthysse, it's just less noticeable because Lucas was 'supposed' to win. And when Bradley won people were making threads 'Bradley v Mayweather, who wins?' as well as 'Should Bradley fight Floyd?' and the results were in favor of them. I don't think people are calling for him to fight Khan over Garcia or Bradley. It seems it could actually be the opposite. I don't know anyone in favor of him fighting Khan.

Now I don't know about Lara, I'd like to see it but I doubt anyone would call for it and I don't think GBP would ever consider it with PPV buys in mind tbh.

Its more about the lack of buzz from media and fans. You see Steve Kim and Dan Rafael and their followers all talking about how Bradley vs. Mayweather would be boring. Espinoza, GBP, Ellerbe and everybody else will see that and not even make an effort to pursue the fight.

Lara is his mandatory at 154. Whoever wins between him and Trout should get a shot. But again those fighters are "boring", "have no fans" and "can't sell PPVs".

Garcia is the most deserving fighter. I was critical of this fight because I think Garcia matches up horribly but that shouldn't be a reason why it doesn't get made. But when this was proposed on social media all of the comments were "119-109 Floyd waste of time", "He's not ready", "not interested', "he needs to build his name up", etc.

I would love the Pacquiao fight but the fans (including myself) helped destroy that possibility by continuing to allow Floyd and Manny to stage multi-million dollar events and reward them for avoiding each other.

Just seems to me that everybody is giving GBP reasons to make **** fights like Floyd/Khan. Its Floyd's responsibility to take on the most deserving challenger but why take a tough fight when you get $40 million no matter who the opponent is?

My Prediction,

Floyd KO's Khan!

[heavyhands702]

the fight won't happen cause khan isn't a big draw for fans. next

[Kimmy]

Khan I don´t think even deserves the match and considering that Mayweather´s career is winding down there is no point in him fighting these average fighters.

[Merciless1]

Really hope this doesn't happen & certainly will not buy if it does.

Just saw Khan at his open workout in San Francisco this week. from what i saw, no way he should be fighting floyd.

[WESS]

Like I said years ago, Khan is complete garbage. Just because Floyd fights him won't change the fact. However I can't see that fight happening yet. Khan at this point is more of an opponent Pac would cherry pick. aka former champion. Hasn't won in years. Just got brutally destroyed or beaten.

**** fight for Floyd but the euros will eat it up just to be completely disappointed and feeling embarrassed. However I hope Floyd is kind after the fact like he was to Hatton after he ended his career.

So if Pac fights him he's a cherry pick... what happens when Floyd fights him?
