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.

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.

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.

The Tsar's Rankings (This Week: Welterweights)

#1 - Floyd Maywhether Jr. - Retiring at 49-0 and won his retirement match.
#2 - Tim Bradly Jr. - I have a sweet spot for this guy because of his match with Brandon Rios in Nov.
#3 - Brandon Rios - ^^^
#4 - Kell Brook - His match in Argentina is gonna be a great fight. I can just feel it.
#5 - Amir Khan - Hopefully we get Amir vs. Manny?

No room for Keith thurman?

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.
