Comments Thread For: Mayweather Sr. Could See Khan as Next Opponent

[White_Knight]

the main vulnerability Khan has - his chin, isn't really an issue against Mayweather.

It's an issue against anyone.

Khan doesn't fight in September so it's May or never.

Khan has fought in September 3 times in his career. If fighting in September means securing the potential last fight of Mayweather's career, then rest assured, Khan will fight in September again.

When was the last time he fought in September?

The second part of the post states that he needs to fight someone "more credible" than Jose Lopez, implying he needs to get a big win not only to earn it, but it's for his own good. To answer your question specifically: Nothing.

On a side note, what did Bradley ever do at WW or in general to get a shot at Pacquiao? This whole deserve this and that is all reserved for Khan apparently.

Well for one he didn't get KTFO by Prescott and Garcia and go life and death with Peterson. He dominated Devon Alexander who was considered a great fighter at the time. He then went on to give Manny a tough fight in #2 and beat Marquez. IDK, that's better then beating up Paulie and zab and surviving maidana.

Well Pacquiao isn't happening, ever.

Next best WW opponent (excluding Bradley which also isn't happening)... is probably Khan. Thurman also isn't partiularly proven, and just because he has stepped up 7lbs doesn't mean Khan has to start all over.

I'm just interested in the Khan fight because we havent see FMJ fight anybody with close to Khan's speed in ages and the main vulnerability Khan has - his chin, isn't really an issue against Mayweather.

Definately the right time to be catching Mayweather, he's definately not the same fighter of 3 or 4 years ago.

I'm surprised Danny Garcia doesn't want it though, he should be the favourite if he did. I doubt many of you would be complaining that he hasn't beaten a credible welterweight in that scenario.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's dissect your obtuse post line by line and then prove that you are an imbecile and a moron:

Thurman isn't proven??? Really? And Khan is? Based on what is Khan proven? He is a superstar in the UK we get that but he is garbage in the US. Thurman has fought his way into pole position for a shot at any WW title holder. Khan has not

Because he (Khan) has gone up 7Ibs does not mean he has to start over: Well, when Khan moved up in weight he said several times that he is only a couple of fights from fighting Floyd. Why wait then? When Floyd moved up to 140Ibs, he went straight for title holders and all AVOIDED him. Same thing at 147Ibs, never once did he talk about not being ready for anyone.

Khan's hand speed: Where was the hand speed against Prescott, Garcia or even Diaz? He should have obliterated them. Common sense, fool.

The right time to be catching Mayweather: You and that Khan idiot are basically saying that beating an old Floyd is your wish and you are bragging about it. So if Floyd was 32 years old then he wouldn't be ready? Idiots you all are.

Garcia destroyed Khan so why a rematch? Why can't Khan give Maidana a rematch? That was a close fight with Maidana almost stopping Khan at the end.

You are just a typical Pakistani rooting for his brother. No shame in that but don't twist your idiotic logic for facts.

Khan and Bradley were both unified champions and undefeated at 140lbs at the same time.

Bradley then got the Pacquaio fight by ducking Khan to fight an 80 year old Casamayor.

Julio Diaz and Luiz Collazo looks like a murderer's row compared to that.

Bradley dominated Alexander in January 2011 and fought Pacquiao in June 2012, that is year and a half, but of course it is Khan who has to prove his worth recently.

Wow Peterson really? hint: PEDs

You're using what Bradley did post-Pacquiao 1 to make a case for Bradley getting Pacquiao the first time around. How is that even relevant?

Funny, how much you stretch things to make a point.

Khan and Bradley were both unified champions and undefeated at 140lbs at the same time.

Bradley then got the Pacquaio fight by ducking Khan to fight an 80 year old Casamayor.

Julio Diaz and Luiz Collazo looks like a murderer's row compared to that.

I like how he goes on to talk about things Bradley did AFTER Pacquiao 1 like Marquez, as if he saw that coming in a crystal ball and has the right to use it as an argument.

Dirk, do you really believe Amir Khan is a better fighter than Tim Bradley??

[lightsout15]

This is the guy I want to see Mayweather fight. King khan is all wrong for him, his speed, reach, jab will be too much for floyd to handle at this stage.

[TLC8]

Typical Mayweather Klan; Rather Fight Khan Who's Done Nothing Since '10

Gutless weasels. All that canned bs about fighting the fights America wants, by fighting Maidana twice. I think America has been asking Floyd to fight Manny for 6 years, ****.
