    Who? "Khan's army"?

    As Larry Merchant once said: It's more like a platoon.

    Doubt many British fans would go over for Khan. He's not very well liked at the moment.

      Sums it up.

      He could fight anyone and it won't harm to enhance his legacy as one of the very greatest fighters ever.

        Shawn Porter would be Amir Khan's best win in his whole career, nevermind the last couple of years.

        [...]

        By the standards you just set, Garcia should easily be the first choice for Mayweather.

        His resume literally smokes Khan's.

        Normally you make sense, but this time you are being no different than the "fanboys" you criticize.

        Broner got his belt from Malignaggi, same as Porter , trying to hype up Broner now just because it serves your agenda is dishonest.

        Or is beating Malignaggi a " great win" ? .

        I like Shawn Porter, but again, he only beat Malignaggi for another vacant belt, beating Porter is only slightly better than beating Algieri resume wise (Provo is a better win than Malignaggi after all).

        Khan isn't elite, more often than not he talks out of his rear and he's not on Floyd's level, I agree with that, but Brook hasn't proven shi-te either, not at world level.

        Ps: yes, Garcia has a better resume, though he looked absolutely horrible recently, and to be fair his chances against Floyd are as close to zero as Khan's or Brook's.

          That's what Floyd thought it was going to be until he saw the turnout for Khan's last fight in Vegas.

          Basically 12 members of Khan's family and friends screaming "AH-MERE" over and over. Scintillating atmosphere

            Porter beat Devon Alexander for the belt.

                Brook. It would be the first time Floyd fought an elite "boxer" in his prime

                  both these dudes do nathan for floyds legacy, khan brings in more money so he should go that route.

                    But he generates more revenue than a Brook fight will, my friend.

                    if it makes dollars it makes sense.

                    that's the motto right now buddy.

                      Sooo, now you're a 16 year old middle-class white TMT fan?

                      I must say Inkanymaba, your creativity is impressive
