    Khan keeps going on about Mayweather not being able to hurt him what a re**** :lol:

    Mayweather has enough power to knock out khan it doesn't take a big puncher to drop or hurt khan

    Maidana wants a word with you.

    If Floyd can find a regular home for his left hook he might just might be able to force out a TKO towards the end of the fight when Khan is weaker.

    Otherwise no it's unlikely.

    To be fair from all the options Mayweather has for his last fight, I'd be more interested in the Kahn fight then anyone else. Say what you want about Kahn (and I'm not a huge fan of his, especially after signing to fight Algeri), but he is a bigger name and would sell more tickets than Brook, Thurman, Garcia or Bradley.

    As to his chances in the fight, they're very slim but still an interesting match-up stylistically given Kahn's fast hands. When was the last time Mayweather fought someone with great hand speed? Pacquaio's has diminished along with his foot speed.

    I would picture Kahn becoming hesitant and discouraged when taking counter right hands from Floyd, he makes far too many mistakes and Floyd is far too clinical.

    Yes Khan ANY fighter who stands off Khan and let's him control range and tempo Khan beats them near shut outs.. Make no mistake Khan will attempt to do the same to Floyd due to his speed advantage and better Jab.. Khan has a great fast straight Jab double Jab and under Hunter we seeing more of it...

    Khan is a boxer and Hunter has reminded him of this, under Roach Khan was trying to be a puncher fighteR something he is not not..

    That's why I want this fight.. Khan will try and outbox Floyd.. Most fighters who about to face Floyd look for a Ko win because they have near no hope of out boxing him.. Khan on the other hand does and he believes he can out point Floyd..

    A KO win for Mayweather is possible and Mayweather would definitely try for it

    Thats why its a good fight

    Because hes either gonna have long night or a short one

    Either way its entertaining

    Height advantage??? Khan is 1/2 an inch (1 inch at most) taller than Floyd!! Why would that make any difference??

    Floyd has a slightly longer reach than Amir and is a far superior boxer too.

    Following Floyd Snr's (correct) comments regarding how easy a Khan fight would be for PBF, it is doubtful that Khan gets the fight!!

    As for suggesting that Amir could be well ahead after the early stages... the very idea is preposterous!!!

    I have followed Khan his entire career, and he is levels below Mayweather!!
    Seriously, it is a gross mis-match!!

    Ever wondered why Khan has avoided all of the top WWs? If he was as good as you think he is, he would have fought at least two of them by now.

    Khan has fast hands... And that's it! He fights in straight lines, he is not a hard puncher, he possesses the ring IQ of a simpleton..... and he is chinny as hell.

    Amir is always in entertaining fights, but that is usually down to him being unnecessarily drawn into a battle. Against Mayweather, Khan gets embarrassed and ko'd whenever Floyd decides.

    Peterson beat Khan on points.

    Amir s****ed past Diaz (114-113, 115-113, 115-112).

    His fight with Maidana was equally close.

    So, far from posting shut outs due to his (mythical) abilities, Amir is often in close fights that go the distance... And he has been beaten in a 12 round decision, so your argument is rather lacking substance.
