    Khan would just stand in the middle and box him? What makes you think Floyd's going to be there waiting for him? Did you not watch the fight? He's going to lay back on the ropes and wait for Bambi to come running.

    I think Khan could potentially give floyd the most problems, but he needs to beat one of Brook, Bradley, Marquez, Thurman and now Pacman to get that fight. Now if he beats one of them,there is another problem, Floyd will be retired, so we will never know.

    This is Khan and his handlers fault. He should have fought Alexander a year earlier than he did.

    Khan has not beat anyone worth a ****. Khan has a glass chin. Khan would be an easy win for Mayweather. Hell even hype job GGG beats Khan

    Lol

    Do you even understand boxing?

    Manny was trying to close the range but couldn't.. Khan does not have to he the same size.. Khan would stand in the middle and box.. Khan has a better faster Jab than Floyd.. And after Floyd losing the fight he will try walk Khan down in the late rounds lol just like Alexander was forced to do..

    bang on, if he'd beat DA for his IBF belt he'd probably have been ahead of maidana for the fMJ fight in 2014.

    Anyone know if Khan make a sept fight with Ramadan? don't know how long it'll take him to get back in shape etc,

    my guess is cotto would be next for Floyd, big ish money, MW belt.

    Well none of what you said matter unless Khan can get a granite chin implant.

    While I won't deny Khan brings attributes that make a proposed fight intriguing, it's a fight Khan does not deserve. The way Khan has cherry picked recent opponents and ducked lucrative fights with Brook and Bradley has left me feeling Khan should not be rewarded for his lack of heart. He wouldn't even fight Broner who he would have dominated.

    Khan could beat Mayweather to the punch but he'd leave himself to be countered. While he has improved with Hunter he still sometimes over commits an while he has learned to clinch to prevent the counter when he is out of position, Mayweather being a master clincher himself knows how to counter a clincher as proven in his fight with Hatton. Khan will over commit, look to clinch, Mayweather will use the forearm or shoulder to prevent the clinch and then counter Khan and then that chin will once again be his undoing. Mayweather is too smart and too accurate to lose to someone like Khan.

    Styles make fights, Khan would cause him some problems and it would be an entertaining fight so I would like to see it happen.

    Khan isn't faster than floyd. And he can't outbox him either
