Should Floyd go ahead and take a "soft touch" like khan for his last fight??

    He's done enough where as long as he fights someone who's top 25 I think its whatever. Can't imagine he's not gonna face someone who's below the top 10. I'd prefer he'd fight Brook or Thurman or at very least Porter if he beats Broner or Swift if hes finally moving to 147, but I won't be mad if its Khan.

          I wouldn't be surprised. After Khan's underwhelming performance against Diaz, Floyd was praising Khan and trying to promote a fight with him. But after Khan's stellar performances against Collazo and Alexander, Floyd started putting him down and playing down a Khan fight. Likewise with Pacquiao, Floyd only took the fight after Pacquiao's flaws were exposed by Bradley and Marquez.

          It seems Floyd will only take a fight if there are major flaws he can exploit in an opponent. He didn't see any such major flaws in Khan with his Collazo and Alexander fights, but now that some major flaws have been exposed by Algieri, Khan's chances of fighting Floyd may have actually increased.

              Style-wise, I am not so sure Khan is a soft touch. Khan could be pesky and definitely steal quite a few rounds.

              In this fight, Floyd would have to be the aggressor in a lot of spots-something which he isn't used to doing and isn't easy to do against Khan-who would be happy to get off his shoe shining then run away.

              The guys who have beaten Khan have all brought a strong pressure game, so Mayweather would have to fight out of character.Can he do this-probably, but not after dropping several rounds.

                  Bradley is much more deserving of a mayweather fight than khan. But this is a popularity contest so we all know that won't happen.
