    Thats ridiculous and im a Khan fan. He was drained but its still a legit knockout loss.

    If his only loss was a hometown decision to juiceboy then you could say he's undefeated.

    Mayweather would NEVER fight Khan like Peterson did. You seriously imagine Floyd stumbling in like a caveman taking punches just so he can reach Khan? Nah. Floyd dont like getting hit.

    Peterson only won 4 rounds with that crude, ugly style anyway. Not even mentioning the roids...

    Khan does have some brilliant attributes that could cause Floyd some issues, he's lightning quick of hand and foot, he's very determined and not easily put off and shown the grit to bite down when hurt, his jab could be an effective weapon as De La Hoya proved in spurts against Floyd. Problem is Khan also has some terrible habits as well, his inside game involves pushing his opponents head down and hoping the ref breaks the action, he becomes far too wild and inaccurate with his combinations when overeager to impress, he circles very wide which invites pressure, he has two gears only which is attack and defense and the transition between the two is clunky to say the least, finally he shows far to much bravado at times allowing his opponent to build on an initial attack.

    Conclusion is that he would have a suprising amount of success early with his solid, quick, snapping jab and controlled combinations. As the fight wears on he would become too confident and reckless, his combinations would begin to lose accuracy and control. Floyd would begin catching him with relative ease by either stepping aside to avoid the onrushing bull attacks or meeting them head on with sharp left hooks and straight rights. As Khan begins to lose steam he will try and box Floyd again to avoid the spiteful counters coming in his direction, problem for Khan is that he would be giving Floyd far too much time to put together hurtful combinations because of his quick but rather basic footwork. Floyd is now walking Khan down rather easily and the referee is eventually forced to call a halt to the contest around the 11th round after one too many combinations.

    PBF would soon counter khan into oblivion. He may be troubled for a round or so thats it.

    Pretty much how I see it except I think Khan tends to lose a little steam around the 4th round in a lot of his fights. So I think Mayweather will take over then and start countering the hell out of him.

    Amir has nothing but speed and a jab. He also fades. The toughest fights for Floyd have been against swarmers, Amir can't even fight inside. He still be a better fight than say Saul Alvarez

    I just dont get this ****ing "gone legs"-argument. Floyd aint shot, only his legs are? When we gonna here people say "Jones was not shot against, Calzaghe it was just his chin" or "Guys, I think Pacs left hook was shot against Marquez"? Roach gets weirder and weirder.

    Usually when Khan does one of his wild combinations he gets away wih it. He'd been in for a shock against Floyd via a sharp right hand. I think initaily even Mayweather would struggle to time Khan, but i agree around the 4th round he would start landing with regularity.:good

    The guy said Mayweather's weakness is Southpaws, and then said he would have Manny fight Mayweather right handed. He just says whatever pops in his head.

    Yes I defiantly agree Mayweather will struggle with Khans speed at first just like the Judah fight, maybe some of that was the fact Judah is a lefty though. Khan is fast but he has no back up plan once his opponent starts to deal with the speed.
    I think Khans heart and stubbornness may cost him in this fight if it gets made.
