    Is Amir Khan stylistically a nightmare for Mayweather jr?

    - Speed.
    - Foot Work.
    - Decent Power.
    - Decent Chin (Took Maidana's punches and didn't get knocked down).

    Hell yes, thats why Floyds ducking him. After he beats Floyds ass he'll reign for longer than Wlad Klitschko.

    Julio Diaz had him squirming on his way to the canvas and shaken for several moments after in addition to buzzing him hard late in the fight.

    Can't claim "decent chin" there, especially after the Danny Garcia fight two and a half years ago. He hasn't done anything since to really show anything different in that regard, other than the above notes from the Diaz fight, haha...

    Collazo was a fringe-top 10 sort of guy when Khan handled him this year, so props for finally getting a relevant win in the division picture... And he did stand up to Maidana somehow, so I give him props for that. However, that was before the Garcia destruction, move up in weight, and periods of inactivity.

    This is not 2010 and Khan is not fighting lower-tier-top-10 JWW's anymore...

    No he's not a nightmare, but he does pose problems different to what Mayweather has faced recently. If Khan can play it smart and just try and win most of the early rounds, then it can be a close fight. Ultimately however, I see Mayweather adapting and catching Khan with counter shots, possibly knocking Khan out late on.

    Khan always blows his wad in the first couple rounds. The trick for him is to learn to not do that.

    He has combo speed over Floyd and that's IT.

    One shot speed is the same, and Floyd has more pop he just doesn't throw enough.

    PBF is a stylistic nightmare for Glass Jaw Khan.

    Based on what? Peterson outboxed Khan FFS. Even Diaz should have won their fight! What the hell has Khan done to put his name up there with Mayweather? Get real FFS.

    Not a nightmare but it would be a challenging fight for Floyd.

    Khan habit of over balancing when hes rushes trying to put as much speed into his combos will cost him as will his lack of variety.


    Khan has to try and turn this into an in and out fight and make Floyd move his feet but I cant see him doing it

    A basic fighter with little to no IQ who has only one attribute which is speed is in no way a threat to even a clearly pas it Mayweather. Idiots that are crying speed seem to forget that Mayweather is just as fast if not faster.
