    Zab gave Floyd trouble in the beginning of their fight...until one thing happened.

    He got his timing down.

    Amir will get timed to death...Mayweather wouldn't have to get up too much for that fight. He went down on glancing blows from Garcia (neck punches, top of head shots)...an accurate puncher like Mayweather would have a field day with Amir.

    Amir needs to learn how to use a better variety of shots. L-R-L-R and L-R-L-R-L won't work against someone with a sound defense and technical skill.

    Another thing...Amir hates body shots. He reacts very poorly to them. That's another way to slow down all that speed. Watch the Garcia fight again and see how he reacted when Danny started going to his body. Ditto for Peterson.

    Khan is good but predictable... He doesn't transition from offense or defense well...Floyd does this better than anyone in the sport...getting hit at a low rate, and landing clean shots. Khan has no head movement and does not move his head or change levels when exchanging shots.... Also khan holds his lead hand to low and he will be eating clean counter shots between his arm punch flurries. Timing beats raw speed. Also mayweather IMO is the physically stronger of the two and khan only defense against inside fighting is clinching. Mayweather is a vet and will land body shots. IMO it would be a shocking schooling like may vs canelo....khan is to upright and orthodox.... There are levels to this.

    Internationalbutt why has it taken you so long to clean up this site? Rather than ban people for slagging off boxnation why not ban the childish vermin that continually spam this website daily.

    Also why let 12 year olds with a basic grasp of English write on the main page?

    khan has more tools though than judah, hes a far more physically imposing fighter and has a two handed offense where judah really just has that uppercut, khan can run a bit too even though he isnt as good at it now where judah was just a sitting duck when floyd started figuring him out. He will give mayweather way more problems plus this is an older less sharp less mobile mayweather aswell. Khan will probably be the stonger guy too and could bully floyd in clinches.

    the garcia shot was an absolute peach even though it hit him on the neck he got everything behing not glancing at ll, they wernt body shots too they were low shots

    well did you not notice that 2 thirds of the fight Khan was simply way slower compared to first 2 rounds? he does not have the stamina to maintain that speed not even for half the fight

    The Punjabi Mexican nonsense aside, this fight will most likely happen next. It's either going to be Mayweather-Pacquiao or Mayweather-Khan, Mayweather has no better options out there.
