    Collazo isn't a good win for Khan.

    And Floyd would have beaten Paulie even worse than Khan did.

    Khan isn't the H2H monster Khantards seem to think he is.

    The reason people think khan has a good chance is due to numerous reasons, the static stand in front boxer puncher seems to be what mayweather favours. People with decent technical skills are outmatched by floyds superior technical skills and speed. Looking through some of his fights against fast fighters we seen judah have success in the first half of the fight, de la hoya isnt really like khan but he done well behind his jab, somehting which khan likes, even emanuel augutus was able to land on floyd regularily. Khan if he is the aggressor and starts landing punches early it may force floyd to do something different and force him to fight which would be entertaining he may knock khan out but i think he recieves some punishment himself something we dont see much.
    In a lot of other fights the opponent barely lands on floyds, khan will land and he always does . Khan has comparable speed to judah but he is bigger than judah with a longer reach, another aspect that floyd doesnt regualry go against, and better mobility khan can run if he has too and stay away from floyd, he wont be a sitting there like judah was against floyd.
    Khan is a very different styled fighter to most mayweather has faced, in and out super fast throwing flurries, his shots arnt technical shots and he does the same thing all the time but he still doesnt give the opponent time to predict what hes going to do you know what it is but hes normally just too fast too stop.
    Azzer and Vg Addict ect always ask if hes so fast why was a slow garcia able to time him. Garcia did time him but he was loading up on one big shot taking punishment in the proccess he missed loadsa shots and the one that landed was on the neck and his face was a bit cut up before, first of all floyd would never use a tacttic like this and if he did it would be interesting to see. Diaz loaded up for one big shot too after losing all the early rounds, pederson just kind of charged him but still only one 4 rounds max, madana looked for a big shot too and was getting beat comprhensively until that shot. Seeing Floyd doing this would be a massive change, the main thing is though is that i see khan winning exchanges against floyd but also eventually getting timed and caught but if he gets enough rounds early does a bit of running i think he could get a decision.
    Im talking here more about the old khan against the old mayweather i dont know how khan will look really in the next fight with his changing style and mayweather is aging and didn look the same versus maidana , but i still feel khan has it in him to get the win

    You're delusional if you think Floyd would lose rounds to Paulie.

    Beating Alexander won't change anything.

    Alexander stylistically isn't like Mayweather.

    You know what's funny? I've been saying for months that Andrade would be tough for Floyd, because he's a tall, rangy southpaw.

    but minus canelo, they all had the same goal of putting pressure on floyd and Knock him out, only guy that it could have worked for was canelo, but he decided his slow ass was going to adapt to floyd and outbox him :patsch

    :lol:, Now I don't think floyd could have done better than Khan against Paulie, but c'mon, only way Floyd loses rounds here is if he fell asleep laughing on the ropes like he sometimes does, hell even guerrero managed to win a round or 2 from floyd, but thats just because floyd fell asleep

    People for Khan and against Khan v Floyd saying some dumb Sh1t on this thread, when did 5 years become near a decade, and Judah was coming from a a good run and was seen a slight underdog


    Khan won't win this fight, but he'll give a decent fight, if Maidana can Land jabs on Floyd so can Khan, People need to realise a 37/38 year old Mayweather isn't the same as a 32 year old one, this isn't the version that fought Hatton/Marquez.

    Andrade isn't better than Broner, let alone nearly as good as Crawford.
