    Keeping it real, so looking at a floyd vs Khan fight back end of this year....if it happened.

    Khan would be busy, fast sharp combinations, floyd parrying most of them on his gloves and shoulder.

    It lasts 5-6 rounds khan maybe ahead on points at this stage before the inevitable shot lands on Khans chin....lights out.

    I am a massive khan fan and one thing you have to say for the kid he does bring excitment.
     
  3. Floyd and Pacquaio are both over rated. Can either beat Prime Riddick Bowe?

    I think Khan does have a good chin. He's been knocked out twice, but both those times he was hit with extremely powerful shots where he was out of position. Khan doesn't have the defensive slickness that Mayweather has. that's why he's been KO'd and Mayweather hasn't. but he also averages more punches thrown then Mayweather. (so he takes more risks) Amir Khan at times has been a volume puncher. So the more you punch the more chances you have to be knocked out.

    Khan's margin for error is smaller then Mayweather's margin for error. if Khan fought Mayweather, the pressure would be on Khan to land many more punches then Floyd. Mayweather throws punches where he knows he can land the punch and not get hit hard in return.

    To be honest, if Khan wins this weekend and Mayweather wins next week, the two people I would want to see Floyd fight the most would be Canelo or Khan. Styles make fights.

    If he had an iron chin? and didnt get discouraged? sure he could give floyd some problems. Khan has too many flaws though.

    Slick, technically skilled, southpaw Judah took two of the first four rounds.

    Mayweather then adjusted and beat the ****s out of his body.

    Judah gave Mayweather trouble with precise counter punches and excellent footwork, not those amateur flurries and basic movement patterns that scarcely troubled Danny ****ing Garcia.

    Im not saying Mayweather wouldnt lose a round, but Khan doesnt present any of the problems Judah did. For all his tendencies to melt down, Judah is a much more skilled fighter than Khan ever was

    Khan loses by decision. Too stupid and technically flawed for even an aging Mayweather.

    styles also have to do with chins. Some styles leave a chin totally open for a counter when the guy is not expecting it.

    If he fights any of Garcia, Peterson or Matthyse he is getting knocked out.
