Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: The Fight Mayweather Needs is Amir Khan

[texasboi15]

I don't think there's anymore "easy work" out there for Floyd.

Danger lurks around every corner.

That doesn't sound bad. Would be nice to have a major PPV fight on a major American holiday for once. I would welcome the match up.

You can BBQ have some people over for the fight, and light up some fire works at the end of the night, sounds good to me. Mayweather should definitely be thinking about fighting on the 4th of July.

oscar needs chickenfloyd-khan, the fans need chickenfloyd-pacquiao...

G T F O H. Let's stop acting like he beat someone he couldn't have beat years ago in the same fashion. Devon is a GOOD fighter, he's not a GREAT fighter, he's not an EXCEPTIONAL fighter. Beat a legitimate threat and we can talk, until then he's beaten cano, collazo, and alexander three good fighters but nothing exceptional about them.

If Khan fights and beats Brook and Thurman then he would have a very strong case to get Floyd, snatch up that interim strap and the IBF title and the fight would be bigger. One or both straps, is what Khan NEEDS to get Floyd.

The fighters who currently have stronger cases than Khan to get Floyd-
Pac-currently has the HBO 147lb title and shud be the #1 priority over anybody.
Miguel Hotto-currently the lineal 160lb Champ
Danny Garcia-the current unified lineal 140lb Champ (Khans daddy)
Kell Brook-current IBF 147lb titlist

Thurman-WBA interim title (no chance)
Khan-WBC "Silver" title (no fkn way)

Khan had a good win over Devon and it should put him in the mix against the top guys at 147 not named Pac or Floyd, until he builds a better case truth is he didnt "earn" a floyd fight. Brook over Porter is clearly a stronger win than Khan over devon, Porter over devon was even a better win simply because a legit strap was on the line.

Brook over Porter > Porter over Alexander > Khan over Alexander

Danny Garcia. What can i say, can you really argue that Danny doesnt deserve a Floyd fight?
If Khan and his fans really believe he "deserves" Floyd, then there should be absolutely no doubt that Danny Swift EARNED that fight. All you Khan fans must have forgot Swift knocked ur boy off his perch and thats why hes been on the comeback trail.

Oscar just wants to keep making money with his fighters. Pacman is not one of them. Floyd needs to beat pacman, and pacman needs to beat floyd. Fans need may vs pac, im getting tired of boxing fights i dont give f about.

Khan IS the "easy work"
Heavy pushing by GBP/Media got you believing that Alexander makes a strong case for Khan.
Porter beat Alexander, took his title..why didnt that get him Floyd?
Brook beat porter, took his title..why didnt he get Floyd?
Im sure if either was marketed as an "eliminator" the fans would have called for the fight too.

Ask yourself thi- Who deserves the fight more, Khan or Danny Garcia? Pac? Cotto?

[Heavyfist]

LOL, De La Hoya really is salivating at Mayweather being forced to fight Khan, because he knows how tough this fight would be for Mayweather.

I mean, Khan looked insanely fast and sharp against Devon. Oscar has wanted Mayweather to lose for a while, and Khan is the one to do it.

So let me get this straight ... If floyd finally fights pacquiao, now ppl would say hes ducking khan? Man floyd cannot win with u people. Just a year ago ppl were begging khan to shut up now hes the boogeyman.. Boxing fans are such groupies

All maidana did to get floyd was beat broner.. So why the bar is set so high for Khan? Why does he have to beat two more top guys..he does deserve a shot as we speak but as a fan all i want now is the pacman and floyd fight. .. But judging from floyds recent history he will pick khan.. Floyd has a habit of fighting guys who are receiving a lot of buzz and who come off great performances, he rides that momentum into high PPV sells.. Khan is full of buzz and hype right now, Floyd and him can easily do 1million plus PPV sells.
