    He makes Tyson Fury punching himself in the face look like a genius move.


    Nope. Know why? Because the "how little" factor is overrated. From Corley, Castillo, Augustus, to Cotto, Maidana, Hoya, and Manny. Floyd has been hit FLUSH. He is showing signs of it as well. He's a great defender but his defense is a bit overrated. He gets hit, just not as much as some other fighters.

        Not true at all. Berto is a C Level fighter who is gun shy and unsure of himself in the ring. Khan is a proven, solid B Level fighter who WILL let his hands go nomatter what. He is confident and has legs and has reach and stamina. It's an entirely different ball game, kid. Stop trying to justify Floyd's gayness. Furthermore, Porter, Thurman, and Garcia may not be on Floyd's or Manny's level, BUT they are young guns who make for exciting fights. Berto is SHOT and Floyd better KO him or his legacy takes a DIVE! PERIOD.

          Then why did you choose the guy that will generate MUCH less money and fan interest??

          Floyd/Khan would have been a sold out event by now with just over a million buys. Instead there's over 2000 unsold tickets and dismal ppv projections.

            No it wouldn't. Khan's not a ticket seller.

                He does well on twitter hence him asking these followers to vote for him in the 'ballot' but the reality is these twitter fans in Pakistan couldn't buy a ticket between them.

                  I knew it was only a matter of time before boxingscene somehow worked Khan back in to the discussion.

                  Somebody please tell me why they like writing about Khan so much?

                    Answering your own question, eh? This was finally a solid win at 147, and a thoroughly convincing performance at that.

                      Fk Khan. Look who hes been fightn, rather look who he HASNT been fightn. After he fought Floyd what qouldve happened?? He wouldve continued to duck every top welter out while proclaiming himself an ATG...or he wouldve retired and proclaim himself an ATG . Floyd choosing Berto saved us from a bullet there. Now that floyd is retiring we can now have no expectations of Khan whatsoever, hes not gonna fight anybody ever again..well we know who he wont fight
