      What else would Khan do? Pressure fight him and try to get inside?

      Mayweather hasn't fought anyone like Khan. It's all well and good outboxing guys like Guerrero and Canelo who's feet look like they're stuck in cement.

        Here I go again...
        The only lucrative reason to have a Khan fight would be the venue in London -- namely the Wembley stadium.
        But such a fight can't be made in May... Because the fight should be scheduled very late, during the night (in order to be aired in the U.S.)... And nights in London are quite cold during the month of May... Then...

          I have no problem with this fight but it has to be free. No way am I paying to watch this. It could be like one of those Sergio Martinez/Bum of the Week fights HBO like to showcase.

          Can we stop saying Khan has the speed to match Mayweather. First, it's not true, and Khan was out hustled by two of the slowest boxers out there, Maidana and Peterson. How is he going to hang with Mayweather?

          The only way Khan wins this is if the judges for this fight are the same ones from the '96 Olympics and CJ Ross, or Khan decides to deliver ALL his punches below the belt and hope to get a KO like he did against Judah.

            I might be stretching here but I get the feeling that a FMM vs. Pac deal for 2014 will be made in late December. Call it wishful thinking but I'm optimistic.

                  If Khan had a glass chin then there's no way he would've survived the fight with Maidana, who is arguably the hardest hitter in the division. Ok, fair enough he was shaky in Round 11 but he got through it and his recuperation levels are up there with the best of them.
                  I think his problem is too much heart and he's often careless after throwing combinations. The Maidana fight could've been way easier for Khan but instead he gets dragged into exchanging. As for the Garcia fight, he was dominating the fight up until he got caught, I think he was over confident and got careless and that led to a shot that would've KO'd most fighters.
                  I honestly believe Khan has the potential to be a great fighter but he often looks past his opponents, gets careless and because of that gets knocked back and rightly so. I just wish he'd knuckled down, brush up on his defence and box the ears of his opponents instead of being dragged into a brawl.
                  He doesn't deserve a shot at Mayweather, he needs to win a Welterweight title or win a rematch against Garcia before he gets some respect back but those that say he won't match Mayweather for speed, that's crap, he won't match Mayweather for accuracy and maybe even power but he definitely matches him for speed - just go on youtube and listen to post match interviews with his opponents. Garcia explains just how fast he really is.

                    Yeah except he looks like Fred Astaire compared to most of Mayweather's opponents.

                      His feet are fast. Doesn't mean they are good but they are definitely fast
