      Floyd HIMSELF put him in the frame last year. If Floyd doesn't fight Pacquaio....Khan is probably next in line. Live with it.

            Would you stop with this "title" nonsense? He doesn't care about titles.

            When the Kell Brook PPV does 400k, do you think he's going to be like "Oh well at least i've got his title"....

                While I laugh at Khan's constant pursuit of the big fights, I think the way he goes about trying to get them isn't the right way. Rather than constantly fighting and WINNING to make himself more relevant, he just wants to score that 1 big paycheck.

                I do think Fraud Jr. is full of **** when he talks that Khan isn't well known. That I believe is total farce and just another Fraud excuse to avoid competition that actually has variables to win with, such as handspeed and determination. Despite all the times Khan's been dropped, I think he's always gotten up when the fight was called off. He's got heart.

                    why would cotto take less money to be B side in a mayweather fight he knows he will lose? Hes making a lot more money against canelo and he is A side and has a good chance of winning it.

                    I do however agree that Kell Brook is an option. He has some hype after beating Shawn Porter who was very popular. It will be decent here and probably do huge numbers over on the English ppv sky box or whatever that is. I think that Kell Brook is just as dangerous as Khan is however, but would likely do less numbers so why wouldn't mayweather fight Khan when they are both signed to Haymon and Khan has been waiting for years? I honestly think Manny is more likely to fight Kell Brook than Mayweather is.

                    I also find it ****** for people to think Manny is going to fight Vargas. The more likely scenario is he will either fight Mikey Garcia or Terance Crawford. I think Mikey has been holding out fighting in order to secure a Pacquiao fight. Bob Arum has already alluded to that saying Mikey just expects him to hand him a fight with Pacquiao. Robert Garcia just told seckbach big news might be coming soon, so I would imagine Mikey will be his next opponent either after Mayweather or in place of Mayweather if he ducks again which looks likely.

                      The dumb thing about it is that he is making himself look like a fool week in and week out when the biggest money making fight for khan out there is the fight with brook. If he fights either mayweather or pacquiao he will get the usual B side treatment which is between 1-5 million dollars. Khan is a higher profile name so will probably get 5 million dollars. Frank Warren has already said he would get 5 million POUNDS to fight brook at least, which is like 7 or 8 million dollars.

                      Instead of fighting his way to the top and making a name for himself and becoming the most popular guy in boxing by fighting which is what mayweather and pacquiao had to do, he is trying to take an easy shortcut and avoid big punchers and taking easy fights just waiting for a shot at mayweather while making himself look foolish in the process.

                      Think about it, Pacquiao and Mayweather both had to earn their way up to get the shot at De la Hoya. Pacquiao had to fight some tough s.o.b.'s before he finally got his shot. Mayweather had it much easier but was also considered a better fighter than khan and had never lost and he did beat some pretty good fighters. Khans only claim to fame is beating b class maidana and b class alexander lol Compare that with manny beating legends morales 2/3, barrera 2/2 and marquez 2/2 all in their prime by the way and also some other greats before he finally faced de la hoya. Khan has gotten knocked out by danny Garcia and breidis Prescott and lost to lamont Peterson and this is all recent and now that hes beaten devon alexander hes considered one of the top dogs and automatically gets a shot? why not go beat brook or porter or some other big name guys and then mayne he could say he definitely should get the shot.
