    50/50 fight.

    Its clear Floyd is past his best now. Floyd can avoid 2-3 but not 3-4 and Khan will be firing off 5-6 in fast succession.

    Khan brings serious trouble for Mayweather

    If Julio Diaz can time a left hook on Khan, anyone can.

    It's funny I see Khan as blatant cherry pick (unless he upsets Brook first). But the way people are going on here, it would be a great victory for Floyd.

    Well i would prefer Thurman next but Khan would be better than watching the Crybaby fight another slow ass plodder again thats for damn sure.

    Floyd won easily last night, had less trouble with a far better version of Maidana than the version that Khan barely scraped by.

    Khan has speed but he still fights in straight lines and to be honest he's still a few levels below Mayweather.

    timing the left hook wasnt enough to win the fight

    But you shouldn't be going life and death with Diaz if your expecting to beat Mayweather.

    That fight was at welterweight.

    Plus his win over Collazo is a little bit smoke and mirrors considering Collazo's form prior.

    The only improvement I saw was Khan not rushing in, technically no change at all but again Collazo came in with no game plan.

    Mayweather beat a better version of Maidana last night with less trouble than Khan did.

    Mayweather didn't go life and death with him at all.

    On the flip side then if you expect to beat Mayweather you shouldn't be going life and death with Diaz.

    i thought it was a catchweight with diaz?, collazo just came off his biggest win, and i disagree with with saying mayweather had less trouble, khan looked specataculrar for most of the fight before he got caught when mayweather was involved in more swings rounds, yeah he got caught but mayweather never had the success khan did either
