Khan did not challenge Mayweather coming off his win over Maidana. He challenged Mayweather coming off a KO loss to a 140 pound Garcia and looking like Garbage against unranked Diaz. Khan beat Maidana and stopped Judah and Paulie MANY YEARS ago under Freddie Roach's training and he seemed to be a better fighter then than he is now. Maidana got the fight with Mayweather because of his great win over Broner which topped any recent Khan win. The fact that Khan won a CLOSE fight over Maidana over 4years ago has nothing to do with anything. If it did then Prescott should get the Mayweather fight before Khan since he crushed Khan in the first minute of the first round. We have only Khan's word the Mayweather Sr said Khan would beat his son. Senior said he never said that.
Amir Khan: Floyd's just playing games, He's unprofessional

Ha, I hope Floyd doesn't fight Khan, for the same reason I hope Wlad doesn't fight Briggs. They have done nothing in the ring to deserve a payday.
Khan would have just sat around if Floyd told him to wait. He is begging for a big fight, but he could have easily won his way into the fight (either with a belt or beat Thurman, Brook or Porter).Comment

I have to disagree with you. I've seen both Brook and Khan fight many times and I think Brook is better overall. As far as an awful resume goes what could be more awful than being KOed by Prescott in the first minute of the first round. Being undefeated is better than having three loses. Never been knocked down is better than being knocked down many times and knocked out twice. Brook has been chasing Khan forever and Khan has been ducking Brook forever. It's a huge money fight for Khan. He could settled who is the best if he would only fight Brook but he turns the fight down flat every time. Yes I am a Brook fan and proud to be one. He had a poor fight with Jones but he learned and improved in the rematch. He is the only guy to beat Porter. I don't hear Khan asking for a fight with Porter.Floyd ducked Khan repeatedly for years now, I just can't see him suddenly deciding to fight Khan. His father admitted that Khan would beat him, and we know Mayweather is safety first/minimize risk type of fighter. That attitude has often translated across into his choice of opponents - for example he fought someone Khan had already beaten instead of Khan himself! Floyd will stay ducking imo.Comment
