Amir Khan has lifted the lid on why the fight with Devon Alexander. He also says that was struggling to make 140lbs for a while and that his natural weight is either 147lbs or 154lbs.

He'll get destroyed at 154lbs.

I have doubts over how effective he can be at 147.

First decent guy he fights at 154 will just walk straight through him.

Am I missing something, he didn't fight Devin as 147 is his natural weight, but alexander is a welterweight anyway

Pony excuse, he onows he's getting floyd where he can lose and make a ton of money

The 154 is rubbish, he isn't naturally that strong or hit that hard to deter lightmiddles

Yeh, seem to be a lot on Twitter about getting him Floyd.

Fair play to him, everyone wants that pay day, but if he's going in with the best surely he needs a tough tune-up fight before then to keep sharp?? Specially as he hasn't looked rosy for a while now.

Fair play to the kid........If he can get a huge payday go for it......

Always remember Renaldo snipes turning down $400,000 for Tyson's comeback.......and taking Lionel Byrom in the felt forum for $20,000...

Take the bucks..........You're retired a long time.

Mayweather knocks him out late IMO.

Khan will steal a few rounds (possibly 1-3) and will slowly get pot shotted and knocked out around 8-10.

Still, will earn over a million ££££££££££

He could always go for the WBU or WBF belts. He would unify those in a heartbeat.

How much do I care about how much a fighter makes? Little to not a bit. So do I care what Khan makes? No.

Khan has no business in the ring with Floyd and it should be shouted down regardless. None of this 'fair play to him', it simply shouldn't be allowed.

I'm inclined to agree. I find it strange when boxing fans try to become amateur promoters rather than seemingly wanting to see good fights.

Likewise.

I want Mayweather vs Bradley if im honest and Khan vs Alexander on the under card.

Mayweather vs. Bradley can't happen because of the Cold War between TR and GB.

So it leaves Mayweather with very limited options. Danny Garcia is an alternative, but I very much doubt he's a big enough name to secure 1m+ PPV buys.

I know there's a lot of Khan haters on this board, but if he works on his inside fighting then he's probably one of very few boxers in and around Mayweather's weight division who could pose him a problem.....

There really is a lack of options for Mayweather atm, Khan makes sense in my eyes.

How on Earth does Khan pose him problems? Did you see Khan's last fight? The bloke is done and no amount of work on his inside game can help him.

His speed movement combinations jab and reach pose problems that Floyd will take a little time to overcome, but he will... Khan is too dense to beat Floyd, doesn't have the tactical nouse for it.
