I saw this coming a mile away, Golden Boy planning Amir Khan vs Floyd Mayweather for 2011

Shit. For some reason i thought Duran jumped up to welter from lightweight for the Leonard fight. My boxing history is shot.

Gotta remember, Roberto LOVED to be fat. So even in his lightweight years he fought outside the division as often as he fought in it.

Kinda like Willie Pep.

I thought the same thing Slick, I had it in my mind that Duran moved up from Lightweight for the first Leonard fight.

Flod's getting unfair blame in this thread, this is just an idea Golden Boy is planning, there is no guarantee that Flod faces Khan next year.

Fair point. But if Floyd does make this fight? I'm gonna fall on him like the wrath of Jehova!

For arguments sake lets say Khan has beaten Maidana and Bradley/Alexander by mid 2011, wouldn't you be at least curious to see how Khan would fair against an aging Flod ?

At 147? Not really. But my issue wouldn't be with Kahn but with Mayweather. I'd like to see how mayweather fares against proven welters.

Aside from Manny nobody at 147lb's brings in enough money to lure Flod into the ring.

Like that's a reasonable excuse. if he's a fighter, then fight.
