So at welterweight, who is a better Mayweather opponent than Khan?

[The Gambler1981]

Brook
Porter
Garcia
Bradley
Pacquiao

Two of those guys beat Alexander's ass already, one beat Khan's ass, another beat Porter's ass after beating Alexander's ass, and Pacquiao speaks for himself.

None of you will have anyone to blame but yourselves in the aftermath of a potential Mayweather/Khan fight, when Mayweather wins fairly convincingly and you're all whining about it.

What crack me up is I have always liked the Floyd-Khan fight as a guilty pleasure kind of thing I have always wanted to see Floyd prove the difference between a real boxer and a glorified amateur Khan. I never faulted anyone for not liking that fight though because it was always so simple to see what would happen, but seeing all these people change their tune about that fight (over what really beating Alexnder and Collazo? nice wins they aren't Floyd) makes me laugh.

It is the most amusing side of being a fan of Floyd, it also makes it easy to pick out who is on Gum Drop Island with their boxing views and who is in the real world/

in the grand scheme of things, khan is at a good point in his career. he debuted, he won, he got hyped, his name got thrown around some big names. he lost. he shows resilience in coming back and (at least for now) making me believe that he could still be high caliber fighter. maybe its because they both had roach as a trainer but his style looks like a taller right hander pacquiao of today with the mindset of featherweight pacquiao in terms of attack attack attack but everyone knows damn well his chin cannot handle that type of fight. hopefully age and experience and maybe his weight progression will allow him to make adjustments and get over the weak chin.

at this stage, hes just another strong up and comer who Floyd has to put in his place. if he beats brook, he would be THE guy to face.

This post is ******.

Anyway, I tend to agree. If not Pacquiao, I wouldn't mind a Khan fight. I always thought Khan would give Floyd a lot of problems.

So have I, so has RJJ and Paulie, who both normally talk a lot of sense when it comes to boxing.

look, theres no doubt if Khan beats another top 10 welter, he is in an even better position, the problem is, Mayweather hasn't fought a credible welterweight threat in years and if he doesnt fight pacquiao AND Khan, who do you want him to fight? Maidana 3? JMM 2? Danny Garcia?

Garcia is not even at WW, yet if this was Khan it's "need to earn it doe".

Bradley just came off of struggling with Chaves and should be sent back to Shobox.

Porter? LOL

Brook: has a belt and very strong, but how many wins does he even have at world level? Khan has been on this level for ages.

Pacquiao: We all know that ain't happening.

6 years since Prescott, 2 years since Garcia, rocked by Maidana.

Beating journeymen Diaz, Collazo and Alexander in 36 rounds gives you a shot at Mayweather now?

Are you really going to argue that Khan could outbox Floyd over 12 rounds to win a UD based on those performances?

Kinda owing yourself there.

If Alexander and Diaz are journeymen then Porter has never beaten anyone but journeymen and even had a draw with one.

So then how can a win over Porter mean anything ?

At welter I think only manny and khan can really cause floyd any trouble.. Then maybe kell brook..

Sorry, I don't think thurman causes floyd much problems.. I think Keith would end up getting outboxed like ghost and Canelo did..

[jose.sooto]

I can't believe some have the nerve to mention fckin "tim bradley" as a legit challenge to Floyd smh. What is Bradley going to do besides trying to cause Floyd a concussion with his big ass head? Tim ain't going to KO Floyd and he ain't going to out slick Mayweather either.

At least Khan has speed and decent power sssh

[Showtime..]

Khan completely shut out Devon - I can't see any other welterweight doing that to Devon - even Floyd or Manny might not win in such dominant fashion against Devon. Khan's speed is astonishing and his technical skills have improved significantly. He is actually better than Pacquiao technically now, although Pacquiao is probably nearly as fast as Khan (and that's damn fast) but Khan has the reach advantage too which might play a big part in the Floyd fight.

I think Khan is probably a better opponent than Pacquiao at this stage, just by a hair but no one can really hate on Khan after that performance. It was a masterpiece to rival Floyd's and Manny's best performances against a very solid opponent who was considered an A-level fighter only 12 months ago. Khan completely shut him out like he was an amateur.

NOOOOOO ONE EVERRR considered Devon A-level. His Peak in life is being a B-level, on the dot fighter.

Brw, Bradley did what Khan did but a few years earlier. He actually made Devon quit out of frustration.

So we just gon act like Bradley's big ass head did not play a part in Devon quittin?

face it, Tim is just not that good. He really doesnt bring much to the table against anyone. The kid can't really punch hard and he is not this super slick boxer either. If saturday's performance against freakin diego chaves didnt open your eyes to reality then i dont know what will.

[HanzGruber]

Khan isn't the most appealing but it's the best option after PAC. Brook is focused on fighting some bum in England
