    Floyd won 10-11 rounds when he decided to move. If Khan fought Maidana how floyd did the first fight he'd be KO'd per usual.

    Khan is a front runner can't fight on the inside has **** defense and has poor footwork. A guy with those flaws isn't a stylistic nightmare for PBF.:deal

    khan from a few years ago had all those flaws but he could still bounce around the ring and make it hard for the opponent to get him, then when he attacked it was so fast and with so many combo a lot of guys couldnt handle it, in fact only two guys with two big shots could stop it and in the garcia fight it was definetly working.
    This new khan wil probably be able to fight on the inside better and have better footwork, doesnt mean its better

    What new Khan? People have been saying this shite for years... he beats up Paulie.. it's a new Khan.. he beats up Molina.. it's a new Khan.. he beats up Collazo and again it's a new Khan.

    The fact is Khan is an inconsistent fighter... it would just be real easy pickings for Floyd, who LOVES to fight at range.

    Khan pretty much gets ko'd when he trades, but when he uses his legs and speed he's hard to beat. Haven't really seen him use his legs since being with Roach. Imo he shoulda stuck with Roach. It was one minor mistake that cost him big. If he boxes all over the ring he might frustrate Floyd, and especially be a real threat to Floyd if Khan manages to land a crunching bodyshot like the one he landed on Maidana. But Khan has slowed down, Imo. Doesn't have the blazing handspeed he had when he was with Roach.

    The only things Khan has going for him is that he's tall has a decent jab and has good hand speed. Combo punching is a non factor because when have you seen anyone land a combo or throw a lot of combos on PBF? He's more of a boxer puncher which plays right into PBF's hands because you're not going to outbox PBF.:deal Once he gets Khan's timing down I think PBF will begin to break Khan down and fight him more on the inside where Khan has no prayer.

    Khan also isn't a physical fighter he has to be in almost perfect conditions in order to operate effectively. Khan will start off good wining probably 2 of the first 4 rounds then get figured walk into a counter he doesn't see and get hurt he will then get out boxed for the rest of the fight.

    I actually believe a lot of Mayweather's biggest supporters round here deep down agree with this, that's why they **** all over the potential fight, like they do with fights against guys who many believe would seriously challenge him like Pacquiao or Golovkin.

    Maidana and Ortiz fights, who hardly anybody thought had a chance (and Khan is just as deserving as either of them) they were fine with.
