What a drop dead retirement match. Khan vs. Mayweather for his absolute final fight and a chance at 50-0!

I'll never get why people are always hyping Khan up, he's not that great imo. Poor defense, chinny and not that great on offense when he's compensating for the previous two points. Is he a big draw in the US or something?

He's really popular amongst the large brown minority.

He is? Over here he's known but not with any interest if that makes sense.

I could outrun Floyd.

Meh. He should have been the 49th, but alas, he has no chance of beating Mayweather imo.

I'd rather just see either a rematch with Pacquiao (which is what will most likely happen) or see a young boxer like Danny Garcia get the shot instead.

Khan was fasting for Ramadan wasn't he? It'd be a huge step up but I'd like to see Kell Brook get a shot at Floyd. He's only got the IBF belt which is ranked really poorly but he has power, a decent boxing brain and is a geniune Welterweight rather than a lot of the guys in the mix. Golovkin at 54 would be fantastic also, his footwork could cause Floyd issues.

Yeah, but he was lobbying hard for a shot at Mayweather this past Saturday. He even expressed huge disappointment when he wasn't chosen.

I personally think Khan can really give a fight to Floyd.

@Tsar

Rumor is that rigondeaux v lomachenko is to be announced soon whos your money on for that if it comes off

Also khan might be facing provodnikov in November I see him loosing that if that fight comes off

 

[Roadster]

Kind of a though one. Rigondeaux has the record and skill advantage but Lomachenko has the momentum and popularity advantage. I'm gonna bet on Rig on this one.

#3 - Brandon Rios - ^^^
#4 - Kell Brook - His match in Argentina is gonna be a great fight. I can just feel it.

No room for Keith thurman?

Also I'm backing lomachenko for the win i kinda have a little soft spot for him i just love the fact he wanted a world title fight in his very first fight definitely didnt wanna mess around lol

Kell isn't fighting in Argentina, he's fight down t'road. Rigo is gonna beast mode against Loma also and I really dig Loma so far.
