khan vs mayweather - it could happened if khan didnt slip at inopportune times..the worst was not facing devon alexander..that shot went to shawn porter who took that belt from him lol..the following year he actually whoops devon worse than porter did:unimpressed:..that prolly could have got him that mayweather fight

Khan never got the Mayweather or Pacquiao because he would try to take shortcuts, hoping that would just select him based off his uk fan base.

Mayweather typically fought the best guy available coming off a big win. Khan never was the best option at any point in time coming off a big time win.

If he would have fought a big time opponent after the Alexander fight, and won, I believe he could have secured big fight. Instead , he cherry-picked Algeri, and almost lost the fight.
