    too much backlash for them to consider this fight .... but man, they have been pushing it and pushing it for years now.

    It's the same formula. get someone who has relatively no experience or no experience in the WW division and make him out to be something more than he really is or has shown. A bit tougher with this one because nobody believed the #2 ranking they gave him ......

      Not true. I despise Kahn as a fighter. I happen to think he has the attributes to give Floyd hell. I base this partially on the Judah fight. I also base this on the de la hoya fight. In the first instance speed bothered Floyd...who also was tagged by Mosley. In the second instance De La hoya's jab troubled Floyd. Kahn has speed and a jab.

      People say Kahn's chin is a problem. So be it but Floyd is not a KO puncher and one of the big knocks on Kahn is that he will fight when challenged instead of box. To me this means he won't get gun shy if Floyd counters him.

      Many boxing people see this as a live fight. I plan to bet my San Francisco Condo on the fight

        Like many of Floyd's fights there are too many question marks when it comes to his opponents.

        Who has Khan fought at the full WW division?
        How has Khan done lately?
        Khan's chin?
        Khan's weaknesses?

                Boxing is the theater of the unknown so anything can happen. Chances are that Khan will lose badly. His speed is not enough, he doesn't have any ring IQ and tenses up when he throws a fast combo like a amatuer. Khan has zeor experience at 147 and can't get past B level fighters.

                Ill take your bet and put one of my houses up against your Condo.

                    Translaton:
                    - I still hope they don't make this fight because this one is going to be hard to defend compared to the other cherry picked fights.

                    - If they do, so be it. I have been defending so much crap from Floyd, it's just one more thing that I need to
                    defend/protect from my hero Floyd.
