    Far too late. Doubt Manny still has the speed to win it now and Floyd knows that

      Khan v Garcia if possible would make this a very special night.

        Im in Amsterdam for this fight. Its going to be a spectacle, probably the last great Superfight. Shame it wasn't 3 years ago.

          Wow, if that was the undercard that would be an unbelievable night, possibly the greatest ever.

            Khan vs Garcia rematch could be great, Garcia is a top fighter and Khan has looked good in his last couple of fights as well. It won't happen on this bill though Garcia is fighting Peterson in April.

              Anyone think Mayweather has tarnished his legacy by hand picking who he fights. The fighters who could trouble him have been kept at arms length as best he can. I mean, Pac should have fought him years ago, same with Kahn now. Both fighters with speed who could pose a problem for him.

              It's a shame, but for someone who should have been considered an all time Great won't be there.

                You'd think a fight of the century would be impossible to call, 50-50. But I reckon if you asked 100 fight fans you'd be lucky to find 10 who think Manny will win.

                PBF on points innit. Still fascinating though.
                Thanks very much for being

                  edit: But, there's just that chance, small, but it's there, that Manny can catch FM with the sweetest shot and put him down, only because sport has a way of throwing up such events.

                  That's probably the main reason many will be watching.

                  It's good versus evil, Manny handing out dollars and now with money troubles, against the Evil super rich Fm, selling merchandise and getting every cent he can from his fans.

                    Khan would cause Mayweather problems?

                    Are we talking about the same Khan who lost to Lamont Peterson?

                    C'mon his speed might cause an issue for a couple of rounds but May weather would adjust and dismantle him handily.

                      Khan is hopeless. Both Mayweather and Pacquiao would just give him a long slow beating. Just let him know how infinatley better they are than him

                        Im not saying Mayweather would get beaten by him. But he is clearly avoiding fighters like him.

                          Eh? Who else has he avoided?

                            The problem Mayweather has had is he's been that much better than everyone else. Khan I'd like to see get back in with Garcia first of which I don't think he'd fancy after the last time.

                            He's pretty much fought everyone over the years and won

                              Ok not avoiding then. But he is certainly picking people at the right time. De La Hoya was on the wane, Alvarez was a bit too green, Shane Mosley was on the way down, Hatton was on the way out and its the same with Pacquiao now.

                              Im not saying he isnt one of the best ever. But he picks his fights better than most have done. When was the last fight he had that you thought 'Yep, these two are at the absolute peak of their powers'


                              Sounds like I have a downer on this undefeated boxer. He has beaten everyone put in front of him, but the only issue I have is that he is the one putting people in front of him, if you get me.

                                My view of him might also be skewed off by the fact he is a complete piece of work outside the ring.
