    Khan/Brook would have to be 2016 as there can only be a stadium for this fight and they can only get it in the summer.

      So Brook has to KO Guerrero is what you're saying?

        If Joseito is confirmed for Khans opponent in Dec then I think it plays out like this Floyd / Manny in May Khan / Brook in Apr/May if Khan wins he gets his wet dream fight in Sept. If Brook wins Garcia will likely face Mayweather in Sept.

        It's just a joke Khan is angling for a Mayweather fight first because he knows if he loses ( which he will) then theres always another big $ in Brook. At least attempt to earn the fight.

          This stuff about Khan not fighting during the religious fasting doesn't ring true since Khan has had many fights before that took place right in the middle of those fasts. Khan seems afraid to fight Brook because it's a huge money fight and a win over Brook would just about lock up a shot at Mayweather but Khan still won't fight Brook. Of course Brook should get Mayweather fight before Khan. Brook just beat Porter for a world welterweight title and he has never lost a fight or even been knocked down compared to Khan who has lost three times, twice by KO and gets knocked down by Diaz.

            Floyd should choose Brook over Khan...the crying from Khan would be priceless

              He hasn't done that since the Prescott fight so it does ring true actually.

The way he knocked Khan's career in the post fight press conference to Mayweather-Maidana II gave me that impression. I'm certain he'd rather go for Danny Garcia or Kell Brook than Amir Khan.

                In that case I'd say Khan has a good chance:

                That is not true. He hasn't done that since, Prescott. He always takes a break during that month. According to the standard calender that month moves back 10 ish days every year. When he fought Prescott it was in September and this year it was in July.

                  Khan doesn't have a good chance at all, Gatti was his first PPV whilst rising to stardom. The reason Mayweather didn't go with Khan in the first place is because he wasn't oblivious to the times Khan has lost or been knocked out, or better yet, even underperformed. Mosley and DLH in his mind were HOFs, and Mosley was coming off of a spectacular performance.


                  Khan isn't getting it, watch. Danny Garcia is ahead of him if Brook is unavailable.

                      I don't know why you guys keep rambling about Floyd's next two fights. It's so easy to tell. Floyd Mayweather Jr is fighting Amir Khan on Cinco de Mayo weekend 2015. Floyd Mayweather Jr is fighting Danny Garcia on Mexican Independence weekend 2015.

                      That's it. No Pacquiao, no Brook, no Cotto.

                      Golden Boy/Al Haymon would be in deep trouble if both Amir and Danny lose their next fights.
