    I'm telling you that khan Beat Diaz in his last fight who only in the fight before khan drew with Shawn porter who just beat Alexander. And your telling me that it's not relevant how Diaz did in his previous fight against porter but it is relevant that khan didn't do too well against Diaz. You see how silly that is

    Your clearly a khan hater so this misjudges your ability to see how he could possibly do well in any fight

    Guys, just look at the facts for a moment:

    1. Khan's resume is pretty decent. Kotelnik, Paulie, Maidana, Judah (terrific performance) and a robbery loss against Peterson. That's no worse a resume than most of Floyd's recent opponents had to offer.

    2. Khan hasn't looked the same ever since he got screwed over in the Peterson fight. I'm not talking about his chin issues because chances are, he never resolved these even when he was on fire against Judah, Maidana and so forth, but he actually looked a very shaky boxer against Diaz. There's a distinct possibilty that Khan is a one trick pony surviving on insane handspeed alone which may or may not turn out true. A Mayweather fight could clear things up pretty nicely. I mean, if Khan manages to regain his confidence and deliver his Judah performance again, this has the potential to turn into a fun fight.
    I'm not claiming Khan has a realistic shot at winning, he probably doesn't, but he's exciting and just think about it for a moment - lightning fisted Judah had Floyd in trouble for a brief period in their fight.

    I said it's not relevant how Khan did in his previous fight compared to what he's going to do in future fights. Clearly that was my point but you find it too hard to understand or you're playing dumb on purpose. My point is referred to Khan's fighting style remaining the same with zero notable changes.

    Ok so you've brought Molina and Garcia into this so let's go with it. Your right Molina was timing khan but he didn't have the power so khan got a wide unanimous decision. Garcia has sickening power and if he didn't most likely khan would have got another wide unanimous decision. My point is I know mayweather will time khan but he dosent have sickening power so khan can go on the offensive a lot more and make it interesting

    Nonsense. I'm judging based on his fighting style which I properly described with reasons and examples. I could have easily said "Khan is a fruit, he's getting sparked" if I was looking to blindly hate.

    I agree, Diaz is being deliberately underrated here. He seems to be a tough fight for most WWs out there. Khan still looked extraordinarily shaky there but no need to make this this big a deal. Might've been an off night and the opponent turned out surprisingly tough. It happens, get over it.

    You don't need sickening power to trouble Khan and remember Mayweather is the first opponent Khan meets with that kind of fighting ability and speed. Mayweather will catch Khan with many shots he won't see coming due to speed and as we both know it's those punches that hurt the most. Watch the Garcia-Khan fight again, Garcia was actually countering with serious bombs in round 2 but Khan kept going, it's a punch he didn't expect that ended things in the 3rd round. I don't see Mayweather knocking Khan out early but I do see a mid-round stoppage if not late stoppage if Mayweather decides to press the attack.

    Diaz was asked to move down and Khan was moving up in weight, those two factors can't be ignored. And I never even hinted for a second that Diaz is a novice opponent. I know he's a tough opponent. My point is, if Diaz was troublesome, wait till you see what Mayweather will do.

    It's not relevant because you won't see any extraordinary changes in his fighting style. What you saw before is what you will always see from Khan. Get the point already?

    Yeh ok you don't see mayweather knocking him early then how are you saying its a complete mismatch? Surely if that was the case mayweather would knock him out within 3 right? I agree if and when mayweather goes on the offensive he will stop khan. But mayweather a style is a counter puncher he dosent naturally go on the offensive and I feel khan may be able to steel a few early rounds whilst mayweather is in countering mode forcing mayweather to go on the offensive and stop him. Either way the way your predicting the fight dosent sound like a mismatch to me

    Whose mentioned any changes ? We just want mayweather to face something different some speed, heart , movement and fast combinations no doubt Floyd will win but it's something floyd hasn't seen since Judah and delahoya
