Khan better fight more often and against quality opposition. Forget about Floyd, make a name for yourself and clean up the division and look impressive. Sadley i don't see that happening for Khan, he will run from the opposition the pose any real threat to that chin and will continue to fight jokes.

I unfortunately can't understand fighting Algeri after a win against a former welterweight champ in Alexander. But he turns down a title fight for a feather fisted runner.

Corrales, now let's name the future hall of famers he's beat, hernandez, castillo, gatti, judah, Dela hoya, hatton, marquez, mosely, cotto, canelo (and yes I think canelo will be future hall of fame is he keeps doing what he's doing) and Pacquiao. Not to mention the current and former champions he's fought that might not ever be hall of fame worthy, has khan even fought 12 current or former world champions in his career let alone hall of famers?

Khan has fought 10 current/former world champions and defeated 8 of them (9 if it wasn't for the dumb point deductions by PEDerson's hometown ref). Half of the world champions he beat were 2-time, 3-time and 4-time world champions. And Algieri will be the 11th world champion he's fought. Khan has a better resume than any other current top 10 welter besides May & Pac. Virgil Hunter's statement is entirely logical and backed by factual evidence.

If Hunter can successfully mould Khan into a complete fighter, then he may very well have a future HOFer on his hands. Let's not forget that Naseem Hamed has recently been inducted into the Hall of Fame, and Khan's resume, even as it is now, is at least comparable to Naseem's resume.

Khan doesn't even need to fight Mayweather if he wants to become a future HOFer. There's still the likes of Pacquiao, Thurman, Brook and Garcia out there. And out of those, only Pac and Thurman would be genuine threats.

Brook's management wanted the fight in June, which is when Ramadan begins, so Khan rejected the offer. Khan doesn't do fights near Ramadan (ever since the Prescott loss), so the fault lies with Brook's management for the breakdown of negotiations. But the Khan-Brook fight will eventually happen, since it's going to be worth a lot of money.
