    its a shame we never saw floyd vs khan, it would have been a good fight to watch.

    the pac fight can still happen though

    floyds had khans name in his mouth since 2011, but for some weird reason he decided to avoid him
    Floyd couldn't have fought Khan back in 2011. He was a WW, and Khan was still a JWW.

    If he had, people would say that he forced a guy to move up to fight him.

      What has Khan done since 2011?

        And this is Manny not wanting to fight due to his arm injury or whatever it was






        And Canelo does agree to fight him

          Khan could've had the Floyd fight if he would've seized the moment. He was on a short list for the last two years of Floyds career but he wasn't hungry enough to go after a top fighter to earn his shot. Someone should've reminded Khan the he, not Floyd, was the one with something to prove.

            He feels Marquez avoided him


            But guess what? This is boxing. Nobody owes anyone anything in this sport.

            Floyd can fight Andre Berto or slugger Maidana for just as much money...then he will. Why face someone who is known to have a pitter patter style that has caused slick boxers problem.

            Khan hasn't really looked good ever since he went off the wall in 2011 with his bloated ego and resting on his laurels.

            Your mental game has to be on point in boxing...Khan may have all the confidence in the world but that doesn't equate to intelligence in and outside of the ring and this is the primary reason his career suffered.

            This is professional Boxing. It's all about money.

            Why would Floyd pick Maidana and Berto over Khan, when Khan would have brought 3x more money than Berto and Maidana combined.

            And, remember that Floyd himself made a poll asking fans to vote on who he should fight next between Khan and Maidana. Khan won the poll. Who does Floyd fight for less money? Maidana.
