I think Khan has improved a lot under Roach but a fight with Mayweather is to soon, couple more big fights and he might be ready but at the moment Mayweather will make him look stupid like he did with Hatton

Timothy bradley will be next up for khan, if he beats him and cleans up junior welter then he should move up to. Floyd and co to fight the big boys

Bradley has been ducking Khan and won't be surprised if he stops a fight happening.

Khan and Pacquiao are the only two fighters with the hand speed to beat Mayweather.

i think mayweather has proved, you need more than just speedy hands to beat him, especially with his counter fighting

khan fight floyd soon please, and get knocked out

Difference this time is it will be a unification fight, it has to happen

If the fight happens next year, then i think Khan will beat Floyd. Floyd is getting old while Khan is young and improving. I dont think Floyd has have fought anyone as fast as Khan. Speed and power is why Floyd is ducking Manny, he knows he'll get caught far too many times.

f**k Khan and Mayweather I want Pacquiao Vs Maywether. Any other fight involving one of the two is pointless. If it never happens neither will be remembered the way they should be.

No it doesn't. One steps up to another weight division vacating the belt. Thats how it doesn't have to happen.

I actually agree with this. Plus Pacquiao and Khan, thanks to Roach, will be conditioned to a level where they can go 12 rounds full pelt.

All of Mayweathers previous opponents have been fighters who can't go for 12 rounds. Judah, DLH, Hatton, Mosley, they all burnt out.

Khan is nowhere near ready for a fight with Mayweather,not sure he ever will be either.He could fight him next week but would get schooled and humiliated in there.I think Roach might want the fight sooner rather than later though as a pre-taste for the Pacquiao fight.One more fight for Khan and i think we'll see him get it on with Floyd.Wembley has already been mooted as a venue should it happen.My prediction,Khan v Mayweather next summer and a Mayweather win in style.

Khan is much better than Hatton, or at least will be in twelve months.
Ricky was far too predictable. Not quick enough, not adaptable enough.

Khan is class :evil:

ahhh the old mis-conception that manny will be too fast for floyd! floyds hand speed, reactions and power are all superior to mannys and floyd has fought people like judah(in his prime), sharmba mitchell, castillo, who were all just as fast as manny and never got caught. trust me, manny is absolutely made for floyd and will not touch him. in his 2 fights with juanma marquez, who has a simular counterpunching style to floyd, manny got totally outboxed. and marquez, quality fighter that he is, is not in floyds league! easy nights work for floyd because manny is just made for him.
and where the statement of floyds opponents not bein 12 round fighters comes from il never know? every fighter u have mentioned there has good 12 round records but were simply not good enough for floyd. come on, he may be a total prick but u have to give the guy credit haha. on top for nearly 15 years and has been hardly tested by anybody!
i think khan will do alot better than manny against floyd but will still come up short
