    Its simple maths now boys, over 12 rounds cant see anyone outboxing or outpointing Khan, he wont let you, same goes for Floyd if he picks to box Khan, Khan wont let him outbox him..

    The only way to beat Khan is to knock him out...

    :good

    It should be noted I don't have a history of picking against Floyd and respect his H2H ability; in fact, I'd favor him over Pac if they fought.

    Khan is simply all wrong for him at this stage.

    When he flurries will Floyd will able to time him with flush counter rights and left hooks? If he gets the timing down I think he could.

    If Khan doesn't freeze under the bright lights, I could see Khan pity patting and moving with those rapid fire combinations that wouldn't hurt a fly, while Floyd would do his usual one punch at a time stuff, and probably get outpointed. Anybody who uses any type of activity against Floyd, will beat him at this point. I like Khan's chances. Rapid fire pity pat, and move. He is taller, and rangier than Floyd, and has good feet as well. Stick and move. Mayweather ain't scoring points stuck in that shoulder roll.

    The day Floyd gets beat by a 1-2 puncher that doesn't go the body, he needs to hang em up!

    People never consider the subtle aspects of the fight game when looking at a match up. Floyd's IQ, alone, would give Khan hell.

    Floyd takes him to school. So much so that it will be considered a cherry pick afterward.

    Those pitty pat punches have to land first.

    Quick accurate shots that snap Khan's head back will garner more attention than quick 1-2s that don't land.

    Khan would miss A LOT! I just don't see how he could win.

    Khan's got better hand speed, Pac has more power.

    After Khan's win over Alexander last night...Do you think Khan has the fanbase/support to land the Mayweather fight? What is the feeling in the UK among fight fans regarding Khan's chances?

    Khan beats him all day long. Floyd would struggle to win a round, and he doesn't even really have a punchers chance

    Alexander was able to catch Khan with a overhand left every now and then. Khan is so chinny, that I believe feather fisted Floyd could probably stop him with that shot.

    Khan also lunged. Floyd would make him pay by countering him.

    At one time, Floyd was faster.

    But Khan is DEFINITELY, BEYOND QUESTION faster than Floyd at this point.

    And Khan would beat Floyd........in maybe five or six years time.




    But as of right now, speed notwithstanding, Floyd would still be a comfortable favourite.

    Khan he's too fast too long for floyd. Pacs the easier fight for floyd.
