Khan has had a very good start to his career, and has plenty of potential. But he isn't nearly ready to go against Mayweather (unless Mayweather has completely forgotten how to box during his long time away from the ring).
At some point fairly soon, Mayweather is going to be far enough past his prime that he will be vulnerable to someone like Khan. But that time isn't now. If Khan stepped into the ring with Mayweather this fall, Khan would be given a lesson.
Khan's time to shine may come after Mayweather has left the scene. That would be a shame, but it would be a mistake to try to force the issue by rushing Khan in when he's not ready. Khan needs to fight Bradley, and needs to take Bradley very seriously. Bradley doesn't win pretty, he just wins. Khan will gain a lot of good experience against Bradley, and he should then be able to move up to 147 lbs with confidence.
Everybody is high on Khan right now, but take a step back and remember that this is based on a win over a past-it Judah. You can't use a fight against Judah to predict Khan will do the same to Mayweather any more than you could use Haye's performance against Valuev to predict he'd do the same to Wladimir. Mayweather isn't even on the same planet as Judah.

Khan have not beaten any elite fighter, he's still not on the level of Floyd and Manny. Try the waters with Cotto, Clottey or Margs. Mayweather belongs to Pacquiao and that's the fight boxing fans is waiting for a very long time.

floyd still beats khan but i have to admit, after last night, its getting a little tighter. two x-factors: first, the mind of freddie roach. the second has to do with timing. when, if they were to ever met, will be just as important. because if mayweather-khan takes as long as mayweather-pac has, we have to start anticipating floyd, as he ages, to slow down as khan peaks.
