Hi, Xi!

You little b*tch ass pole smoking f@ggot mother**ker.

Devon lost to porter, porter lost to brook...khan beat Devon. Do the math. Khan v brook. Winner gets Thurman...then that winner gets Floyd. These young kids need to earn that kind of a pay day. Floyd v PAC. If I happens in May. Regardless rematch in sept.

Hold up, so the winner of Khan-Brook fights Thurman? What the hell has he done in the WW division?

Well, I see your point, Thurman honestly needs to fight chino first. I think that is stylistically a good fight and could produce fireworks. I personally think they are all unproven(khan, brook, Thurman). I think broke beating porter was a great win but porter got exposed in that fight. I would just rather see them fight each other in stead of B level competition. Bottom line, they need to do more to get Floyd.

What did Ortiz, Guerrero or Maidana do to earn a Floyd fight? Not much more.

I have a BIG issue with this "Khan has not done enough to earn a shot at the biggest star in boxing." remark.

Mayweather is "the biggest star" according to whom exactly, other than his fans?

To many of us, Pacquiao is the biggest star in boxing, and has been so in the last decade or so, in spite of that robbery decision vs. Bradley and that one-wonder-shot loss to Marquez.

Also, to many of us, Floyd actually has two losses in his career, vs. Castillo in their first fight and vs. De La Hoya. So no matter how hard his biased fans push for it, they will not convince a huge percentage of boxing fans that he is supposed to be the best.

Also, let's say they were equals in boxing level (which they aren't, Pac has bigger accomplishments, his only problem is not being an American) just for loyalty, love and appreciation for the sport, people should root for Pac more than Floyd. It's very simple, Pac is a wholesome fighter, no tricks whatsoever, he FiGHTS. Period. Like a man. He doesn't use tricks (tons of grabbing, clinching, elbowing), he can fight going forwards and backwards, he is never afraid of anyone no matter the size, and he has better hand speed, more punching power, better leg movement than Floyd. Only his defense is not as good, simply because he doesn't cheat like Floyd (clinching excessively and never getting point deductions), grabbing a lot, elbowing. Pac is a bona fide and very humble fighter, he goes in there to fight, and he takes his chances. He is hated by Floyd fans mostly, because he is so good a fighter, whereas Floyd is hated because he is a cheater, trickster, cowardly super-boring so called "fighter" who enjoys the favor of both the referees and judges simply because he is an American, fighting always on American soil, and has the tons of millions of dollars to buy everybody, including his opponents on occasion.

So guys, please be careful on throwing out such statements as calling someone "the biggest star" when you perfectly know there is absolutely no consensus about such an affirmation!

As a neutral who doesn't favour either fighter, Mayweather is obviously the bigger star. But don't let the facts get in the way of your story.

khan has earned his shot ... anybody saying he hasnt is purely hating .. who df is brook anyway , get your a.ss to the back of the bus, you a nobody ... beating alexander in the way he did was more of a statement than pacquiao beating algieri or rios .. hell it was more impressive than pacquiao beating bradley ..

all maidana did to get floyd was beat broner .. khan has paid his dues, hes not a cherry pick, the guy is official at 147 and ill pay for a floyd-khan PPV, thats a highly competitive fight .. if beating maidana, judah , peterson, malignaggi and alexander is not a worthy resume to face floyd , yall just hating too much

but of course the first priority is a floyd-pac fight .. but khan is a legit plan b option .. pacquiaos plan b is jessie vargas
