    "Amir Khan and Floyd is a great fight for everybody. Amir Khan is a good boxer with great speed. It is not an easy fight for him or for Floyd. It is great business [it is a marketable fight]. Floyd is number one in the world. Amir Khan has a lot of fans. This is a great fight for boxing, for sport, for business. It's a very interesting to me too"

    Yes, it's an easy fight.

    Relatively speaking. I mean of course it's hard to go through 2-3 months of training and all that, nothing in boxing is "easy", but Khan will be lucky to win more than 2 rounds.

    GGG knows. Mayweather wins but it would be interesting to watch the clash of styles.

    When GGG chose Rigondeaux over Donaire many jumped on him saying he doesn't know boxing.

    Listen, he is completely right. This fight is much more difficult for Floyd than what people think. Khan is fast and versatile. Floyd doesn't have the power to shake him. Imo, it is a battle on speed and technique. Interesting fight.

    Most people against this fight are just khan haters. Look bottom line is it can't get much easier than Alvarez and Guerrero or did the haters actually think they were competitive fights

    I am in the minority in this but i think the fight is interesting. Khan is probably faster than Mayweather and Mayweather doesn't have explosive power with his punches so Khan has a better chance of not getting hurt. I am tired of watching Floyd outboxed bigger more powerful guys perhaps dealing with Khan's speed will be more of a challenge for him. Styles make fights and i think this could be a good one.

    Not easy, just very easy.

    Khan has no chin and his speed has eroded.

    GGG didn't say that(if he did, it was edited), his English is not that good. Secondly, he knows Khan will be a good boy.

    GGG is right. Khan's speed will present problems for Floyd. I'm sure Floyd also doesn't like Khan's height or reach, both of which are just shy of Floyd's. Floyd would much rather fight a shorter more plodding come forward type fighter like Maidana. Which is why Floyd is hesitating to sign with Khan.
