    LOL @ a "huge rematch with Garcia"...Levels bruh...Levels. He wants to prove himself against the biggest names in the sport. He chased the big fights and landed one. End of discussion.
    Fair enough never saw that.

    You didn't clarify, you changed what you said by saying only Floyd and Pacquiao were top WWs. Taking a look at the rankings obviously suggests otherwise.

    It would be big Khan vs Garcia. Obviously not Canelo big, but still big enough for it to be noteworthy.

      Dude trying to tell me what I meant to say.

      Khan has been holding out for years to land an opportunity like this. Garcia was not what he was looking for. Since he didn't get it from Floyd or Pac, he moved up and got it from Canelo. All there is to it.

          Dude, you said no top welterweight wanted Khan. Then backtracked and said only Pacquiao and Mayweather qualifies which is pure bullcrap.

          I didn't say what you meant to say I clearly discussed what you said. After that you were backtracking.. but but but only mayweather and pacquiao doe

            To me, top welterweights = top 2.

            To you, top welterweights = top 10


            I guess beating Guerrero and Malignaggi doesn't make you a top welterweight, IMO.

              What relevance does Mayweather have in May 2016? The dude is retired

              To me Thurman, Garcia, Brook, Bradley, Pacquiao or Porter would all be top fights for Khan.

              But of course if your measuring stick is Mayweather, then these fights look pretty bad. Had I asked you 36 hours ago about this you had probably agreed that all of those fights would have been fun.

                What does this have to do with anything? I said Mayweather passed on the Khan fight while he was still active which he did.

                  Money is certainly a part of it. It is prize fighting after all.


                  However, Khan would make $10 plus for Brook. For Canelo I doubt he will make even $5 mil.

                  The reward is great because it is still the money most ppl wont ever see in their lives, but the severity of the challenge compared to the ones available along with the magnitude of the achievement if he pulls it, is it not daring to be great? I'll let you be the judge.

                    Canelo has the balls to do what Bradley, JMM, Pacquiao and Mayweather did not. Alvarez is certainly a homage to his Aztec ancestors given how he is up against the Amir Mexicutioner Khan who is 3-0 against his ppl.

                      You're the one who's mentioning Mayweather. He has no impact at all on who Khan should, could or would fight this year.

                      You're talking as if Pacquiao and canelo are the only possible top fights for Amir Khan which quite frankly is completely ridiculous.
