    Easy Bradley's inside fighting ability and determination. Bradley would be in Khan's chest all night. Also Khan's performance against Peterson will tell me a lot about Khan who Bradley beat impressively. Bradley in that fight was the best version of Tim that I've seen yet.

    Floyd is more renowned for his defence and counterpunching, yes. But when needed, he can stalk opponents. He maybe won't do it in the manner of the Hattons and Margaritos of this world, but don't laugh at the prospect of him pushing Khan back.

    He probably won't make suffer for it like those guys would, and I agree with you there.

    Yes. Khans's lack of inside fighting ability is his biggest weakness IMO and PBF will exploit it. What you fail to realize is that PBF is a master at fighting on the inside, I suggest you go back and watch his career set, he schooled Hatton on the inside and beat him at his own game.:deal Don't get me wrong PBF will fight Khan at all ranges but will spend most of his time inside where he can have his way with him.

    Mayweathers inside game is ridiculously good and Khan doesnt have a good one.

    Just look at how Mayweather beat Hatton at his own game.

    Pimp, what Go Getta is trying to say, is that for Khan's lack of in-fighting to be exploited, Floyd will need to first grab hold of him and keep him there. That's hard to imagine, because that's not Floyd's style. Backing someone up and stalking him - which is what Floyd is capable of doing - is a little different to keeping someone in one spot to force him in a phonebooth fight.

    And when Floyd schooled Hatton on the inside, he did so because Hatton chose to fight him there. It was Hatton that came chasing him. Floyd was like, "Aight, cool. Let's do this :thumbsup", and proceeded to pick him apart from there. Khan won't be doing that. He's gonna' prefer to fight at long range, and Floyd will pick him apart that way.

    Fighters improve from mistakes, no point talking about the Gomez fight Khan is a different fighter now.

    Khan no Ortiz that Floyd will back him up, Khan will use combos and back Floyd up trust me.

    Floyd don't counter combos he goes on the defensive Floyd only counters single shots or moments when you give him too much time and respect.

    Floyd can only do that when a fighter is either smaller or fights him on the inside, which Hatton was both. Khan may have the same height/reach advantage that DLH had and is faster and fresher. Floyd had trouble getting on the inside of old Oscar. Even when he dominated Corrales he never did it on the inside. Not saying Floyd can't beat Khan but it won't be on the inside unless he decides to become a brawler which he won't.

    Chico could fight on the inside and that was his game and he had great power. So why would PBF fight him there? It didn't make any sense. PBF knoew the best way to fight him would be on the outside because of his longer arms and superior footwork.

    True, but Floyd won't be on the inside of a taller longer opponent who is that fast. Khan inside game sucks, but his main attributes compensates for that. The only guys that gave Khan trouble in that regard were, A Prescott, a bigger fighter than Khan, and B Maidana, a brawler who didn't try to avoid Khans punches to get to the inside. Floyd is a good inside fighter but the guys he fought great on the inside with were smaller or slower opponents. If he want's to get on the inside of Khan, that will be a risk and in two years when Khan grows into a "welter that could be a light-middle" that risk will increase with Floyd, a smaller fighter.

    :lol: at hyping up Khan as this serious test and threat to Mayweather. In recent years, DLH was a bigger threat, Hatton was a bigger threat, Judah was a bigger threat, grandpa Mosley was a bigger threat. Khan may win more rounds than Mosley (like 2), but he won't have Floyd as hurt as Shane did. Khan is a bigger target than Judah, less powerful, not a southpaw, and it won't take 5 rounds for Floyd to establish control against him.

    Pacquiao has, I'd say, roughly a 30% chance of beating Mayweather. Khan has about a 10% chance. The fight is predictable:

    Rounds 1-2: Mayweather starts slowly, takes his time, measures Khan and gets used to his speed.

    The rest of the fight: Khan gets walked down and beat up.

    Khan is for real, he is the real deal, I hope Khan puts on a boxing clinic vs Peterson to the boxing world.

    I hope Khan is the first fighter to stop him.
