    Your literally the only person who calls him a master boxer, and saying because he lost a few rounds to prove it is silly, he couldn't adapt to garcia hooks but Garcia didn't quite adapt to khans speed either he didn't look one bit comfortable and was getting beaten till he landed that big shot, and it's about the approach all them guys tried to bang khan out with something big while eating shots very different to Floyd would approach it

    I voted for Khan but only because I think he's the biggest threat for Mayweather in many years. 60 / 40 in May's favor. I think he possesses more than just speed. At this point in his career his skills are what they are and any improvement in that area is going to be miniscule, but he still has a lot of potential for improvement in the mental aspect of the game. If he can stay focused I could see Khan winning a split decision due to high activity and basically outlanding Mayweather.

    What does Khan have other than speed? He can't outbox Floyd.

    I get the point you're trying to make, but I don't think Khan did too well against Maidana. He got the win and the 1st round KD, but Maidana was schooling him towards the end of the fight. There were moments where Khan was barely holding on.

    In that regard, Mayweather did a much better job. Even though he didn't look good doing it, he was never in as much trouble as Khan was.

    That said, I think Khan has a chance against Mayweather. If i had to choose I'd still pick Floyd, but it wouldn't surprise me if Khan found a way to win on points and fighting on the outside, and keeping a high workrate.

    Amir Khan has Danny Garcia problems.

    Style, size, a near equal reach and activity level. I think his style matches up well against Mayweather. I feel that Khan would do much better against Mayweather than Maidana did. Not that that's a lot because I thought Maidana did very poorly against Mayweather the first time and didn't warrant a rematch.

    I hope Mayweather does not think or understand this otherwise he will not fight Khan if Khan beats Alexander..

    I think we going to see the most controlled and game Khan vs Alexander..

    I think that's why he chose to fight Maidana.

    Devon Alexander was obviously shot.

    Khan will get KOed in May.
