    They'll offer Morales enough money for sure.

    After that I wouldn't be surprised if its him and Mayweather in May.

    If he stays at 140, 100% that it's Morales (unless of course Erik loses by then).

    If he moves up... then my guess is some can to get his feet wet at 147 before Floyd, assuming he's not on retirement #3 at the time.

    I don't see Khan-Bradley happening, esp. with Tim going to Top Rank. I know Arum and Schaefer are doing business again, but the move makes no sense - TR will keep Bradley warm for Pacquiao (I say that because I don't give 147 lb. version of Bradley any chance at all).

    The wild card opponent could be Devon Alexander, who will need something to do now that he's with Golden Boy. Khan already fought Malignaggi and not even the greatest of spin doctors could justify a second fight.

    Floyd is so cool. I bet he barely knows who the fuck Amir Khan is.

    Picture it....Floyd walks into Babur Khans shop in Bolton.

    Babur Khan: "Hurry up and pay"

    Floyd: "All my shit is paid for".

    Babur: "you must pay"

    Floyd: "You ain't shit"

    Babur: "If I was 150 years younger I'd kick your ass"

    Floyd: "Fuck you Babur"

    Ellerbee: "yuh you heard".

    He'll beat Mathysse, who is too slow, but who will test him every inch of the way. Woe betide if Mathysse catches him clean.

    I chose other because I was thinking that Maidana would get the nod, but I guess Morales is the better pick. Well, he's the better pick for Khan, anyway. I think Khan would kick his ass pretty badly.

    No chance he'll face Floyd as soon as he moves up.

    Just face Brook, Mr Khan.

    It will be Floyd.

    Kell Brook needs to stop fighting Lithuanians who aren't even household names in their own household and fight somebody with a pulse. I refuse to watch him until he steps up. What the fuck has he done exactly to get a shot at Khan?

    Its probably gonna be Floyd. Floyd wants to fight in Wembley and Khan is the perfect opponent for that.

    Plus he'll stick it to Freddy Roach and Manny Pacqcuiao too.

    I could see this happening either by the Summer or Fall of 2012.

    Yeah you always hear Wembley being brought up as a venue but it's always just talk. Mayweather-Khan however, is one of the few fights that would actually sell out Wembley. Would be the first fight in the actual stadium since Bruno-McCall (I think?), and also the first in the new Wembley

    the real question is not if it sells out but whether the gate would reach 8 figures.

    Capacity is 90,000 - and that isn't including any seating situated on the Wembley pitch. Floyd could demand a huge chunk of the UK PPV money too, I don't know the figures but it certainly wouldn't be shabby for a nights work.

    Yeah he's huge over here, him and Manny are both big names over here because of the Hatton fights.

    This was the scene when he trained in London (the shit part) during the Marquez promotional tour:

    Slice, you're right, brook isn't facing anyone truly worthwhile, even if it's a step up in class. They've been at each for a while now and would be a good domestic match-up. See how good brook really is.

    Dya think Floyd ever just talks like a normal fucking person behind closed doors? If you slow the clip down you can see the lizard eye lids flick over as soon as the question finishes and he goes into *speaking mode*
