Khan would struggle with Mayweather Sr and he's about 60 and a former smack head! If the fight happens and is in the UK I am fine with it as I'll be there to see the best boxer of my generation, something I doubt I'd be able to get to Vegas and do. The UK angle is the only reason I can see him appealing to Floyd, its well known that Floyd was actually quite jealous of the passion and loyalty of Hattons fans when they met and would love to tap into that in the UK, would fill Wembley comfortably too.
He starting to get a bit of stick because he's market leader now for UK boxing but the repair job Eddie Hearn has done on British boxing is remarkable. Frank warren did a complete hatchet job on peoples trust in the sport with PPV rip offs and inactive fighters. Celebrated almost as much when Anthony Joshua signed to matchroom as I did when we got Ozil, genuinely, right place for him even over Goldenboy or Top Rank. He'll come good and he be huge!
Provodnikov is a monster, he can box but he goes out for wars and he's loves it that way. If you get the chance watch fight versus Timothy Bradley on Youtube, straight up on of the best fights I have seen for a long time.
Little bit gutted the fights came so soon for Groves, part of me secretley hopes a minor injury to Froch delays this fight, that way Groves gets another bout in and the fight could happen next summer in a stadium which I think it could do and sell out!
As it stands I think Groves splitting from Adam Booth as a trainer is massive, Booth tactically is the best we have here maybe even the world. Without him I think Groves is at a huge disadvangtage. What I will say though is we havent seen the best George Groves yet however we have seen the best Carl Froch.
Luke Campbell is another talent, rapid hand speed, will breeze through domestically will see what he really has once he reaches European level.
