It is all in the title really. Khan is saying it, so are golden boy, but i have never heard Floyd mention it.

So, is this even realistic??

Yeah, it's realistic, but not as realistic as a Floyd holiday.

People keep talking like Floyd is going to even be around when he is 36, i dont know, by then its a huge risk/reward fight for him. I mean the reward is there, but his whole legacy will be on the line at an age where his skills will be deminished.

There's been talk from Floyd around him wanting to fight Khan at Wembly in the past, nothing concrete.

Think its more to do with Floyd just wanting to fight once over here, with Khan being the likely opponent should it ever happen.

I just think floyd says that to get British fans interested. FLoyd v Khan in 16/17 months would be a huge risk to his 0 (if he still has it) Khan will be far faster,big as all hell at welter by then and Floyds skillset is going to only go south

But Khan has already said he isn't ready to fight Floyd, but will be in a couple of years when Floyd isn't ready anymore.

Im a hateful person Coxy, the guy is right. All these years of not liking certain people. Normally people just accepted it. But us critical folk aren't allowed to question "KING" Khan. Or we are pushed into the same league as Hitler etc as hateful people. I feel sorry for my mum, she never raised me this way Sad

How can one tell if Mayweather will or will not be capable at the age of 36? Until there is some kind of tangible evidence of his decline I would say there is no reason to doubt Khan as of yet, or write Mayweather off as over the hill. My guess would be that even at the age of 36, Mayweather would represent the biggest challenge out there for Khan.
