    I actually don't have THAT much of a problem with this fight if it happens. Floyd gave the fans the fight everyone wanted in Canelo and I think he deserves a stay busy fight. And I do think Khan is a bad style matchup for Floyd. Tall, rangy, fast hands and has a great jab. He wouldn't win but he can pick up some rounds by staying busy with his workrate.

    I still dont think he fights Khan, not his style.

    At present, just a lot of speculation. Ricky Fatton has spoken about it in one newspaper, but he's fat and probably drugged to the eye balls. All of the British tabloids have spoken about it, but again, with little evidence other than Amir Khan told them while touching himself over a picture of himself. The Daily Mail even said its a $200 mil fight...I'm going to assume Floyd will get 199 mil of that. Anyway, as far as I'm concerned nothing has been agreed until Floyd announces it.

    that's what i figured as I haven't read any official news about the fight.

    Just another case of Mathew Hatton/ Erik Morales. HATERS had a field day with that one lol

    Khan has the handspeed to trouble him yes. if khan can fight the perfect fight, not get countered consistantly and is in amazing shape than a decision is possible.

    One thing you get with amir is entertainment, if even floyd drops him he will get back up. he was beating garcia until he got KO'ed. Amir needs to be disciplined and in great shape, i thinkn amir has the style to trouble floyd more than Alvarez did.

    Well, it wouldn't be the first time he was able to swallow his pride and publicly acknowledge someone else as being faster than him... (for money, knowing full well it's bull****...)

    The difference between Khan and Mayweather is'nt speed.


    It's the same difference between Mayweather and any previous opponent ~ Awareness, timing and defense.


    Mayweather is the complete package in perfect balance and harmony.


    Khan is in for a rude awakening.
