    LOL at thinking Khan can outbox Floyd.

    Khan isn't some master boxer.

    He could outbox him easily. He would land because he's so fast.


    Floyd wouldn't be able to bob his head and dodge Khan's punches like he was doing with Maidana.


    The general consensus is the fight would be very tough for Mayweather.


    I'm not saying Khan would win the fight. But i think he has a better chance than Guerrero, Maidana, Ortiz, Canelo,...etc...

    He can bang and most people acknowledge this. Mayweather has a 8% KO ratio at WW, including Ortiz cheap shot.:lol::rofl:patsch

    Floyd wouldn't have to KO Khan to beat him.

    If Khan shoe shines and fights negatively, and maybe hold like he did vs Collazo, I think he could really trouble Mayweather. If Khan sits down on his punches more, it will be easier for Floyd to time him.

    OK, tell me what Khan brings other than speed, height, or reach. What are his actual skills?

    Yes that reach and speed will be brutal. Mayweather's approach must rely on countering as Khan throws in bunches from the outside

    Thats true because Floyd would never KO khan, he has brittle hands and powder puff punches. But whats worrying for Floyd is he can't outbox him either.

    Khan can't outbox Floyd. You're delusional if you think he can.

    Are you going to say that Khan beat pure boxers like Judah, Malignaggi, Kotelnik, and Alexander? Because none of those guys are as good as Floyd.

    Nope. But Judah outboxed floyd for the first four rounds, even dropping him. Khan is next level in comparison to Judah :deal
