Note: if you ever compare Amir Khan to Roy Jones again you will be able to hear me scream 'NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO...' from the other side of the globe.

I would never dream of comparing the skill sets

In his prime Roy would made Khan look like a schoolgirl.

Simply posturing perhaps?.If not then oh well......

[binnie]

Yes, it's posturing.

Who'd turn down $50 million?

[Dave's Bitch]

To be honest i think the ship has sailed on that one

Agreed. I don't think most fans really grasp how great he was. I met him twice and I think he's generally a nice guy as well. I wish he would just quit for good, he's an embarrassment now.

Whats the deal are we giving up on pac mayweather after their respective fights ( bradley doesnt have it for me to match pac and mayweather cotto ...mayweather all the way )....
Mayweather is only in jail 90 days ... how much of that will he actually serve ???
When he gets out the big money will still be there for a pacman match up

Pretty much yes.In reality if these guys wanted to fight each other they would have by now.They should be on Mayweather - Pacquiao 3 by now.Bigger things in boxing have been overcome in order to make a fight happen than how the money is split up.These guys seem more interested in convincing fans the other guy fears him or the other guy is an asshole.The reason thing i can think of for them not fighting is they do not want to.I am not 100% on the arum not letting it happen either.I am pretty sure promoters are there to serve the fighters not the other way round.If Manny really wanted it he would put Arum in line.If Floyd really wanted it he would just split the fucking money.Imagine if Ali and Smokin' Joe pulled this crap,Moaning like women about one thing or another instead of fighting.

The only way this fight will ever happen is if Floyd stops fearing for his 0 or if Pacquiao cuts his strings

I hear what you say .. just gotta hope that it happens but am an eternal optimist, i used think dave would get back in van halen

[binnie]

I really think it's all about Arum. He'll probably only let Pacman fight Floyd once he realises that his days as the cash cow are done....
