    maybe,just maybe pacquiao will wake up soon and you will all be ok
    This is comedy. Man you posters from 2010 and present are all sh-t.

    Floyd fans, Pac fans, Mexican fans. 2010-present has produced sh-t poster after sh-t poster. Just some good one's few and far in between.

    If you knew anything about me, you'd know Floyd is my favorite active fighter, dumb a$$.

      I won't lose respect for Floyd, no. I won't give him tons of credit for beating Khan at a low point, but I think it'll be an entertaining fight for as long as it lasts (maybe even the distance!) and I'll probably still pay to watch it.

      If this fight gets signed I'll lose respect for Khan for taking a money fight before making himself credible at his weight. I think he really should fight at least one big name at welterweight (Alexander, Thurman, Guerrero, **** I'll even take Judah) before he acts like he has a shot at beating Floyd.

        BUT fight Khan who lost to Peterson, then KOed by Garcia, and almost KOed against a nobody. SMH Floyd makes even his fans hard to defend him. I will be glad when dis ***** retire n get it over with.
        thats actually a good point minus the obvious GB/TR beef this is a strong argument

          Khan is a pretty weak opponent for Floyd if we're looking at marketability and how he has looked in his last few fights. He's coming off a fight he could have very easily lost and is only two fights removed from a knockout loss. Khan is at the lowest point in his career since getting KOed by Prescott, honestly I think he looks worse now than he did right after losing to Garcia.

          Styles wise I still think he is a fun match for Mayweather. Khan may have the fastest hands in the entire sport (at least 140+) and Floyd tends to have some trouble with speedy guys, at least until he can figure them out. I think Khan probably has the best chance against Mayweather when you look at the fighters GBP has available, and I think the chance is reasonably good.

          In hindsight did Guerrero deserve a shot at Floyd? Maybe not. But at the time he was the best guy GBP had to challenge Floyd. Khan is basically in that position now. I just think it's ****ty that GBP and Khan's team don't think he's good enough to risk getting a credible opponent in before a Floyd fight. They don't want to chance losing to Alexander or Guerrero or Thurman.

              I love floyd and i will always respect his boxing skills but there is no denying he only picks fights he knows he can 100% win.

              Its a shame because we will never know how good he really was

                Floyd has consistently fought the top 1-2 guys in the divison,

                hes given the right to go for the big cash fight towards the end of his career and khan is simply that. And its a solid win regardless,atleast Khan has fought above 140 unlike Rios who is only 1-1 at LWW after losing to alvarado

                yall are going to buy it anyway so why complain??
                You've got that one wrong. Khan has never fought above 140.

                    I don't blame him, shame Khan's currency has gone down though. It's an almost guaranteed KO so who can be disappointed.

                      Losing respect is excessive. Its just sports entertainment. I'll be OK. Lol

                      I have no interest in it but I won't ruin it for the people that do.
