    yeah seen that awhile ago i agree with him to a degree , but i think mayweather is far gone enough now that khan would still win

    Wow atleast wait intill we atleast see how Khan performs against Alexander.

    If Khan whoops Alexander around the ring then the people popping up mentioning Floyd is going to increase 10 fold.

    Roy never learned the fundamentals. Once his speed and reflexes faded, he was done.

    I see the same thing happening to Khan. Without his speed, he has a glass jaw and low ring IQ. The only reason he's made it as far as he has is because of his speed.

    yeah that'd be good though because roy went through all that and hed know that khan would need to stick to his strength till it fades and could then help him adjust

    Roy couldn't adjust when his speed faded. I don't think he'd be able to help Khan do it.

    Khan is getting close to his 30's, and relies heavily on his speed. I think it's too late for him to adjust his style.

    Any sensible boxing fan gives Khan no chance.

    People think that Khan has skills, when they're confusing "fast" with "skilled".

    Contrary to what Khan and his fanboys believe, being timed and countered counts as being outboxed.

    Of course Brits don't count KO defeats of their fighters as being outboxed. C'mon now, they have to cling to something!

    Why did he leave roach again? He looked great on the pads with roach.
