    Despite me not giving Khan much of a chance, I do think it will be entertaining.

    It will be an achievement if Khan wins a few rounds and actually lasts the distance. This has got wide UD or latish stoppage for Floyd written all over it.

    this is a very tricky fight for may weather.
    money is by far the better boxer, but khan throws fast and in bunches.
    floyd will need to be on his toes all night - if he is he'll win no bother but if khan actually lands clean with a flurry it could go either way...

    If Khan can win 4 rounds clearly and have 2 ok rounds which Mayweather still won with Mayweather then winning 6 clearly then the decision will go to Khan. You all saw what happened with Canelo Vs May. Judges be crazy.

    I think the fans and Mayweather are going to get a shock when he doesn't knock Khan out... or Mayweather dismantles Khan with sneaky left hooks all fight long possibly leading to a TKO

    If they get C.J Ross to judge the fight Khan may get it on one card.

    Khans hands are much faster than Floyds, which is something Floyd has never dealt with. He is definitely going to hit Floyd, even if just by accident. There will be no escaping Khans flashy speed. If Khan can take this seriously, forget about any talking trash nonsense, and fight patiently like with Judah and annoy Floyd and make Floyd come out of his comfort zone, I think he has a shot. He can't be careless. He's got to treat this like what it is... a shot of a lifetime.

    Khan is being massively overrated as a boxer also. His chin isn't the only thing stopping him from being a top fighter, He throws combinations yes but some of them are sloppy, his ring IQ is poor as is his footwork. He has a woeful defense Mayweather is just better No way Khan wins this he hasn't even got a punchers chance.

    I always thought Freddy Roach version of Khan that beat Kotelnik, Judah, Pederson and Maidana would have a great chance of beating Mayweather as style wise he is all wrong for Floyd, it's just a shame they didn't fight after his victory over Zab.

    The newer version of Khan trained by Virgil Hunter is a totally different fighter, one who doesn't know whether he's a offensive or defensive boxer and seems caught in the middle of the two so i don't give this new version of Khan much hope.
