    This. I imagine Khan will look good in some of the early but get picked apart so badly later he'll look exhausted.

    Khan has no Chin, no power, and no Ring IQ. Floyd will eat him alive school him and likely KO Khan late in the fight.

    No way in hell he does better than Maidana in the first fight. It's absolutely ridiculous to even think that. Khan lacks the style to trouble Mayweather the way Maidana did. He does fall into the Ortiz and Guerrero category, that's for sure.

    Khan's timing isn't as good as Floyd's.

    Khan's defense is poor, and he has no inside game.

    A guy who struggled vs Peterson, got koed by Danny Garcia, got walked down by Algeri and can't hurt 147lbs fighter's has no chance vs the best fighter in the world.

    Khan would get stopped inside 8 rounds. He would get walked down by mayweather. It amazes me that people seem to think fast hands is enough to trouble Floyd.

    We all know that Amir and Floyd have never been fond of one another. Sr hates Amir with a passion and has been looking for his son to knock his ass out since 2010.

    There will be fireworks. :nod

    No. No. This is an awful fight. It almost makes me want to vomit. But whatever. It's better than Garcia

    Amir has a better resume than Brook or Thurman.

    It's not that good but it's decent.

    It will be a great build up. Say what you want about us Brits. But we back our fighters to the death and we travel like no other. Even when they don't have a hope :sad2

    Actually the Brits have been dominating for the past few months.

    :lol:

    Amir has a SHOT but I'm not sure a good one here.

    But still, this will be a great fight while it lasts (maybe).

    Yep. They'd both starch him but there is literally no way to sell Kell or Keith's resumes to the public. At least Khan has a win over Maidana who Floyd helped familiarize with the casuals.
