    Did you see how easy Khan was to hit against Peterson?

    Floyd could hit him as many as times as he liked with whatever shot he liked when he liked.

    Granted, he might not have the 1 big shot to put him away but the accumulative effect of the punches would be too much for Khan.

    I don't know why were even discussing it though to be honest because the fight will never happen

    LOL....Cotto lost to Mayweather and Pacquiao because they are the two best fighters in the sport, and two ATGs.

    Cotto beat fast guys like Mosley and Judah because he was better than them (or at least the 2007 version of Shane).

    Khan is not very good for a world class fighter and you will be reminded soon enough.

    He's probably saying that because, on the whole, Khan matches up well against boxer types. His style is effective against defensive fighters who sit on the outside, trying to score one shot at a time with a low workrate. Khan's size/reach, speed, jab, combinations and stamina make him troublesome to deal with on the outside, as Malignaggi and Judah found out. Even when he missed many of his punches in the McCloskey match he was still winning the rounds due to his workrate. He has the ability to jump in, flurry, and jump out again, and because of his reach it's difficult to counterpunch him at that range.

    That being said, Mayweather is far too good for Khan, even now that he's past his prime. Mayweather still has top level handspeed, far more accurate punches, more skill, better defence, ring intelligence, etc. He could outbox Khan on the outside (he would probably time him and counter him while Khan is in the middle of a flurry) or he could walk him down and beat him with intelligent pressure. Khan's jab, handspeed and combinations might give him a few issues at first, but after a round or two Mayweather would dominate. He's just a different level of fighter. Same goes for Pac vs Khan, although in that fight Khan would get knocked out rather than outboxed.

    I dunno, I could see Khan causing problems for Mayweather - people claim he will get KO'ed but I doubt that. If Maidana and Peterson couldn't do that, I don't think Mayweather will.

    A mid 30s Mayweather still picks Khan apart.

    Khan is just not very good for a world class fighter, and you will be reminded of this soon again.

    And I'll be there to remind you of your ridiculous posts and delusional view of Khan when it happens again.

    In a good natured way, of course.

    :patsch

    The fact you actually seem to believe that amazes me, your either shah khan posting under an alias or a right pisshead mate.

    Word is Miguel Cotto has went into hiding in Puerto Rico he's so scared of going toe to toe with the warrior known as King Khan :lol:

    Judah was outboxing mayweather the first few rounds until he broke down mentaly. Pure natural talent judah is above floyd. Judah was never in the fight with khan. Khan has great chance to beat floyd just as judha did until he broke down mentaly.

    :patsch okay you want to go there, we're going to go there.

    Judah won 2 rounds against Mayweather, in 2006 when he was younger and better considering all his flaws from 2006 are still there despite him being older. Judah was going to get stopped in 2006 had he not started the brawl that gave him time to recover.

    Khan got KTFO'd by Bredis Prescott and fell apart in the Maidana fight after getting hit hard. Mayweather would beat the **** out of Khan when he hits Khan with one of those uppercuts that he hurt Cotto with, who has a much tougher chin that Khan does.

    Cotto is shot, last time I saw the real Cotto was Marg I when Cotto lost, he has never been the same since.

    Mind telling us who's the better 24 year old fighter between Mayweather and Khan again? The guy who got his teeth knocked out by Bredis Prescott or the guy who arguably was the greatest SFW in history at that point?
