    Ali fought a nobody in Wepner, right after he beat George Foreman. So yes, he should get a pass. Khan may not be "worthy" of a shot, but neither was Wepner.

      Yes, who else would he fight? Khan's a named fighter good skills and speed that will trouble Floyd for a few rounds till his experience takes over the fight. I think Khan will look good till Floyd catches him and knocks him out.

        Just another cherry pick for Floyd, in order to avoid the dangerous guys for Floyd we all know who are.

          At least Chuck Wepner could take a punch.

              Khan is a decent fighter. So he lost to Prescott by KO five years ago and people are giving him crap? He then lost a split decision to Lamont Peterson and was deducted two points in the fight that otherwise he would have won. His last loss was against Danny Garcia who is the current champ. Khan will be 27 next month and he still has it in him to give Mayweather a decent fight. A lot of good fighters lose in their career and still become champs. Wlad was said to have a bad chin but has since survived and learned from his mistakes. Khan is a worthy opponent for Mayweather.

                  Pac is with TR (not happening), Garcia has gone on record saying he won't be pursuing a fight with Mayweather and GG is pretty much locked in with HBO - plus he has yet to fight a serious opponent. Nonetheless, Mayweather wins each of those fights just like the 45 others he beat.
