Wonder what Kell makes of this???

He must look at this shit show and the serious money Khan is getting paid for it and wonder why on Earth he had to get his eyes shattered by GGG and Spence to make his wedge.

In fairness Khan had some barnstormers at elite level, taking serious punishment as he went, and that's what's helped him have some big pay days. 

This is no more than an exhibition. Dib doing better than expected!

For sure mate, his fight v Maidana was an incredible display of guts.

Khan is getting paid £7m for this though, Kell may have earned that in his career.

Khan didn’t fight anybody in ggg or spences level tbf,his canelo fight was a money fight

He fought the best available at the time didn't he? He called out Mayweather continuously but Floyd was having none of it despite it being one of, if not the, biggest pay day at the time. 

Still think Khan in his prime may have caused Mayweather problems.

He would have caused PBF problems for around 3/4 rounds and then he would have been punching air. Khan's lack of boxing brain was always one of his biggest problems imo, he couldn't adjust in fight against truly elite fighters.

His resume is ok but I reckon Maidana was by far his biggest win. Getting ktfo by Prescott and Garcia though, jeez.

We all know Floyd picked his fights on the basis that a) he'd comfortably win and b) he'd make a boat load of money.

So why did he never fight Khan?

There was definitely a period of about 2 years when Floyd v Khan would've made perfect sense. Floyd clearly wasn't going to fight Manny and Khan was next in line in terms of paydays.  Has Floyd fought anyone with Khan's speed?

After khans defeat late 2011 and then the brutal knockout he had against García that all but ended any chance,think mayweather went on to fight canelo and Cotto in the next 2 years before fighting manny so khan in money terms wasn’t even in the mix .hand speed doesn’t matter if you don’t carry power and have no boxing brain

Mayweather fought Cotto and Maidana in that period who were both past their best. Come on Mayweather picked his fights very carefully.  I'm not saying Khan would've beaten him but if you recall it was strange he didn't get a shot

Khan has never been a top level fighter in my eyes so it wasn’t so strange,a shot Cotto would of murdered khan even back then so it was no surprise he fought him what with his support he got and ppv sales,hasn’t every world class champion boxer ever picked their fights carefully tbh,be stupid not to
