    Khan has no head movement, a glass jaw and will be timed, countered and TKO'd by Mayweather if they do fight. Can't blame Floyd for wanted an easier fight after Cotto and Canelo...but Khan is just a logical guy for Floyd because he knows Khan has a huge Uk fan base and the fight will sell.

    Khan is quick, I expect him to pick ups some rounds on work rate alone, thing is Khan won't land much due to Floyd's defence, also Amir isn't hard to hit and is rather chinny. Floyd will stop him eventually.

    I give Khan a lot more credit then most do. I think he has a lot of talent, it wasn't to long ago he was being considered by many as someone who could possibly at some point be considered one of the best fighters in the world. His loss to Lamont Peterson was very questionable, the ref played a big part by taking away points when they shouldn't have it was a very close fight. In his defeats to Prescott and Garcia he got caught, he was actually working Garcia over pretty good up to that point if I remember correctly. I think he is a worthy challenger for Mayweather, I don't expect him to win but I could see how with his hand and foot speed he could have some good moments throughout and give Mayweather a solid challenge. I haven't given up hope on Khan yet I still think hes got some more big wins to come in his career.

    If we want to be pedantic here then actually Garcia held his ground...

    What Prescott did also.

    According to reports from British media such as the Daily Mail and the Daily Express, that’s something fans will have to decide by May 3, the date of this tentative face-off. Rumors of the match have floated around for many weeks. Originally we were told it would be fought in the United Kingdom, but apparently the MGM Grand in Las Vegas has been reserved for Floyd plus somebody, though there doesn’t seem to be any signed fight.

    A bout against Khan would be planned as an exhibition of the champion’s skills, an opportunity for fans to see him in action before his looming retirement. But will HBO and Arum lie down and let him get away with it on Cinco de Mayo? Will fans pay for it?
