    What do you guys think of this one?? IMO Kahn is a very good fighter and will learn from the tough fight with Maidana but would Roger have been to experienced and hard hittiing for Kahn. Good matchup here Kahn might be a future pfp type guy but style wise i think Mayweather could win this. He has the boxing ability and outside skills to match or even beat Kahn at his own game. Or does Kahn hit hard enough to ko Mayweather? If it goes into the mid late rounds Mayweather just might catch him.

    I remember him... he was about 6"2 so he'd be much taller than R Mayweather.

    Tough call.

    No question? Khan has yet to get a proper KO but there is no question that he would in this fight...

    Kahn has the potential in the future of winning this matchup, but as of yet has not proven enough IMO to win this fantasy matchup...I think people are voting off of hate for the Mayweathers instead of actually analyzing the matchup. Roger was a hell of a fighter and gave Sweet Pea a good fight...yes he has a few losses on his record, but back then these guys were taking on everybody and fighting 4-5 times a year...I'm going with Roger UD...I don't think Kahn has the power to KO Roger, who himself also had a shaky chin...Roger beat some good fighters in his day.

    I don't know much about Roger Mayweather, and I can only go off the very few fights I've seen of his. I think with today's underdeveloped Khan, it could be a 50-50.

    Roger's right hand dropped Pernell Whitaker, & I think Sweet Pea's chin is a helluva lot better than Kahns PERIOD! Black Mamba by KO

    Roger by knockout. Khan is still able to improve a lot, but right now I would say Roger

    If speed and Accuracey of Punch are Roger's Bogie, Then Kahn could pull off a similar Victory to Lockridge, I wouldnt bet again it,
