    Khan revealed that he was getting offered very little money in the initial negotiations and Khan accepted it on his terms. Floyd’s camp backed out and then Khan got so desperate he was even willing to fight him for free. I genuinely believe Khan is telling the truth. Khan has been chasing the Mayweather fight for like 10 years now

    I don’t need to refer to all your points because already done. Punching power does not diminish with age and Floyd would always stop Khan.

    Will be the first time if he was so because we are so use to his lies and delusions.

    Testosterone levels begin to slowly decline as you age. Mayweather in his mid 30’s and late 30’s would have also slowed down

    KamyK I think you are a good guy but you are wrong on Khan. Let’s agree to disagree.

    He is a sharp accurate puncher and Khan has no chin.

    From
    The short snippet of their sparring, it does look like Khan could “outpoint” Pac, but soon as Pac lands, it’s game over. And Pac would land, probably inside the first round.

    In that short sparring vid I saw khans range and speed tagging Pac, albeit they were weak shoeshine punches but they would score points. Pac does tag him cleanly twice and had that been a real fight, would have been game over.

    The thing is styles makes fights. I don’t think floyds power would trouble Khan all that much. Khan took punches from Maidana and got up from a Garcia left hook. You need good power to knock him out als Prescott, Garcia, Canelo, Crawford - all are considered punchers.

    So why didn’t malignagi knock Khan out? Floyd hasn’t had a proper KO since Hatton and Hatton ran into that punch. I don’t think floyd is knocking khan out.

    Yes he would because Khan can’t take a punch. Paulie knocks nobody out. Floyd’s knocked out many people including Hatton who has a much better chin than Khan.

    Khan won’t have the benefit of special shakes of Ariza as Floyd insists on comprehensive drug testing.

    Floyd pretty much dined exclusively on big slow plodders who he had a big speed and reach advantage over. A cheetah who races bulls all the time will get a very rude awakening when they race a fellow cheetah and this is how I see this one going. Floyd would find himself in with someone who could not only match him for speed but actually surpass him in that department and I feel that would completely throw Floyd off his game and that Khan would be bringing those belts back to Britain where they belong.
