Floyd wide open after every straight right lead, Khan's speed will expose that.

    You need fast hands and a good jab to beat Floyd, there are holes in every fighter, Speed will expose them, every fighter is beatable.

    I agree that's what it takes, but I don't think Khan can do it even though he has some nice physical attributes needed to get the job done. His chin is still questionable and by Floyd, he will get hit. Pac has the chin, speed, and footwork but doesn't have the physical advantages. Martinez has the total package needed but he's a middlweight and Floyd wouldn't risk his 0 or legacy on Martinez who has a 70% chance IMO.

    He's just going to change his approach for Khan. It's not easy to hit Mayweather. It may look like it is on television (I don't think so), but Khan won't find it easy at all.

    He's not ready for Mayweather.

    The only people that belong in the ring with Mayweather are Martinez and Pac.

    I don't see any other potential challenges, and in both the Martinez and Pac fight, I could see Mayweather being favored.

    I think Khan will do great at 147, it's all about doing a job on Floyd is try to make him miss and be fast with your work as Khan can be in out, don't need to land every punch but land even one or two and get out.
     
  8. Who do you think has the faster handspeed? Mayweather or Khan?
    Khans got quicker footwork imo but Mayweathers hands are deceptively quick and i think possibly quicker than Khans. Not to mention Mayweathers better technically.
    I see this as Mayweathers with Khan having a 20% shot if Roach puts in the right attacking plan.
    It could end up being like the Calzaghe Hopkins fight.

    Khan has faster hands than Floyd, but Floyd has better timing.

    I agree with this, Mayweather's short right hand looks fast cos it's so short but I'm certain Kahn's hands are faster. Kahn Needs to use his size and reach to advantage using the jab and his quick foot work effectively, getting in with flurries and out before Mayweather can counter. Kahn has decent stamina and if he can keep Mayweather at the end of the jab and keep moving I see Kahn edging this sometime in 2012. imo

    Maywether has quicker hands, but doesn't throw the amount of fast punches that Khan throws.

    Pacquiao will most likely beat Mayweather now due to workrate and speed, and the power is just a huge bonus.

    Khan might lose, but he'll give floyd some problems for as long as it lasts.

    I really think Khan is faster. I've seen him and Floyd plenty of times and Khan's possibly faster than Pac. It's just for him to be that fast, he sacrifices accuracy which where Floyd doesn't. But to be honest, when I saw him against Malignaggi, he looked like a monster physically with his size, stance and confidence and Malignaggi is about the same size as Floyd. I don't think Khan will be ready yet but I do sense he will be a major problem at Welter for anyone.

    Floyd has issue with south paws .. Remember that statement ? One thing is for certain, is floyd never fights a fighter using the same style..

    What he use to beat Ortiz will not be the same style he use to beat Kahn.
