    If khan beats mayweather haters will say may was shot, powder puff punches and old

    If khan beats manny they will say manny was shot to bits

    If khan beats Bradley they will say provodnikov ruined him

    If khan beats Garcia in a rematch, Herrera ruined him

    If khan beats Thurman they will say he had no resume hyped job anyway

    If khan beats cotto they will say cotto was ruined by margarito years ago

    If khans beats canelo they will say canelo was a no talent loser exposed by Floyd years ago

    If khan beats Guerrero they will say who? He was **** anyway

    If khan beats maidana again, they will he's no talent s****per anyway, ( same *****s who say he is much better now)

    Basically. In the mind of the average UKIP / KKK / NYPD / CIA person they will never give khan props

    I think it should be noted Pacquiao doesn't waste much time setting up his punches. Khan does a lot of waiting. So Pacquiao is faster in that respect.

    Only Brittards/pakis think Khan is great.

    This.

    The kid is a good fighter. To say otherwise would be ridiculous. He is not a great fighter, however, and never will be.

    The hate is hilarious. He just dominated a very good fighter.

    Not very good, just good... And tailor made for his style might I add.

    Well I wouldn't say he's up there with the best in terms of defence but he was showing a lot more ring craft than he has done before. Introduced some good footwork and lateral movement. Didn't rush as much and didn't burn up too much energy. Showed an improved D against Collazo and now Alexander. usually against guys like this, he would switch off and also become static after throwing a combination (Garcia fight) He got in and out quick and didn't attack in straight lines, used his legs and kept distance pretty well.

    Solid performance and signs of improvement for sure. He's back in the mix anyways so will be interesting what he does next.

    Khan would eat lead straight right hands from Floyd and get KOed. Mayweather is too fast for Khan and has great defense and Ring IQ and an Iron Chin. Khan gets KOed.

    Skills pay the bills, but sheer athleticism is like getting capital from a loan shark. You'll pay for it later, but that doesn't mean you can't live above your means while the cash is in your pocket today.

    In both cases, the superior skills of the greater boxers won't be able to overcome the effects time has had on their own physical ability. Not while facing prime athletic outliers.

    Khan decisions Mayweather, just like Hopkins got outpointed by Taylor.

    Just wait and see. :hat

    Wait for the Khan haters and Floyd fanboys.....

    This will be the hardest fight Floyd will face barring Pac.

    Mayweather would win. I could Khan causing the odd problem here or there but as soon as Floyd started landing cleanly I could see Khan being caught in the mindset of wanting to blaze back but being reigned back into a 'gameplan'. He won't outbox Mayweather nor do I see that he'll knock him out. My guess is Mayweather wins a fairly comfortable decision.
