Comments Thread For: Mayweather: Khan Must Beat Danny Garcia To Get a Shot

[aboutfkntime]

Floyd Mayweather Jr.’s explanation Thursday for why he didn’t pick Amir Khan as his Sept. 12 opponent was similar to the rationale of countless critics that didn’t want Mayweather-Khan to happen.

“Amir Khan has to get past Danny Garcia first,” Mayweather told Showtime’s Brian Custer in an interview that followed the Mayweather-Andre Berto press conference in Los Angeles.

I agree with this, especially now that Garcia has moved to 147.

The point is, maybe Khan could have earned a Mayweather fight had he beaten Brook and taken his title..... but when he refused to fight Brook and signed Algieri instead he burnt his chances to force a fight with Mayweather.

Garcia would give him that opportunity.

Mayweather shouldve stepped up and fought ggg or even cotto and tried for a belt in another weight class. But we all know mayweather has a fear of taking on challenges, which all began in first grade when he was told he was going to learn to read

Exactly, Khan need to beat Danny but Berto doesn't need to be a way lesser opponent on Jesus Soto Karas, seriously? All those comments without logic ...

This is complete nonsense,who did Berto fought to deserve this fight. Some kid name Jessito?

Like how Berto went out and avenged his losses? What Khan should do (besides forget about landing a fight w/ Mayweather) is to actually prove he's the best welterweight in his own country.

That is exactly right! When Khan refused to fight Brook and signed Algieri, he burnt his chance at Mayweather.

Thurman/Khan/Brook...... meh, until they actually do something.

Brook is probably the best welter.

and berto did exactly what to deserve a shot???

Garcia won't give Khan the rematch.

Thats the only issue I have with these types of scenarios.

Still, Khan coulda fought Brook.

I wont be surprised if khan fights garcia again he doesnt mind being an underdog unlike Floyd Calzaghe

Berto has Soto Karass problems...

What hard work has Khan put in besides get ktfo and look mediocre against weak competition? Is Khan a better fight than berto? Yes.....is Floyd ducking that overrated p.o.s. a mere con? F.uck no!!!

Floyd is indeed ducking Khan

Floyd knows his limitations at this age, and he isnt willing to go through a war when he can score a easy one sided win over Berto.

Khan for all his sins comes to fight, and if you dont take him out, you are in for a war and a long night

Floyds lack of punch output, tied in with his brittle hands, and tired old legs, Khan is a daunting task as is Thurman.

Its a duck...and lets not act like Floyd has looked sensational himself, not too long ago he was struggling with Maidana, who isnt exactly the most skilled boxer.
