    Saw Berto at the Ward fight last month. He seems to really think he's gonna get the call. We'll see though. You can never tell with Floyd.

        Higgt risk doesn't mean inflict damage. It means pose a threat stylistically. Khan's physical attributes alone make him a risky fight.

        Personally, I think Floyd is better at every range Khan likes to fight at and will probably coast after getting his timing down in the early rounds.

            Money wise yes but credit wise he will get none (rightfully so) and I think the risk involved isn't worth it.

              Yeah but it would be a farewell fight.

              It's not out the ordinary.

                  Doesn't really matter who Floyd fights next..he has never faced the guy the people want him to fight until that fighter wasn't the same threat (since Corrales)...

                  Floyd isn't fighting Triple G or Thurman..so anyone else is all the same Khan...Brook...Porter...Mayfield...Berto...all within the same level to me...

                  Floyd is old now..he wasted his career either retiring, taking long lay offs, or fighting the 3rd, 4th, and 5th options as far as fighter the people wanted him to see fight... even the Pacquiao fight was 5-6 years too late and he did nothing impressive in that fight besides making it a low-out put fight for both fighters...

                  That being said Espinoza is such an ass-kissing puppet he won't say anything like "No way are we paying for Floyd to fight those bums"...

                  Floyd v. Khan, Brook or Porter on CBS or regular Showtime would be fine with me... any of those fights on PPV would be a joke (as I stated Pac v. Algieri on PPV was also a joke)...

                    Floyd will make a poll and then choose the fighter who loses the poll... Floyd has never given the fans the fight they wanted at that moment...maybe you can argue this last fight with Pacquiao..but for me..I would have rather he fought Triple G than a 5-6 year too late Pac fight...

                    Besides Corrales and maybe this last Pacquiao fight..you name the fighter and I can name two other opponents I would have rather Floyd fought...and most people would have rather seen him fight.. this will be no different except now maybe you're getting like the 5th or 6th choice instead of the 3rd or 4th..

                      I don't give a damn what Mayweather does for his last fight, nothing left to prove! Just give up those damn Belts so these younger fighters can have something to fight for!
