    The Bolton slugger has a more realistic shot at facing and beating Floyd Mayweather Jr., than him actually facing and beating Manny Pacquiao.

    Realistically, a match-up against Floyd Mayweather Jr. is much more feasible- and doable. Stylistically, Khan's handspeed and quickness will help him against Mayweather. His chin won't be an issue either since Floyd doesn't really have the punching power of Pacquiao, or even Maidana. Khan can put pressure on Floyd and smother him with combinations and make it difficult for Mayweather to counter. Not saying Khan will beat Mayweather, but I do believe he has a better chance of doing so than beating Pacquiao.

    No. Did you see him lunging a mile in like an amateur against McCloskey?

    Just no.

    I like the kid, fun to watch, talented and skilled, but no. Not at this stage. Not dynamic or versatile enough to beat a bigger better man.

    Kahn would get Schooled and than KTFO, Mayweather is far superior to him.

    Pac would knock Khan out! Pac would knock Void out! Void is afraid, very afraid. Void will only fight a woman!

    Anyone who has claimed that Khan has a stylistic advantage over Mayweather, and has yet to see Khan's recent performance...go watch it, you will quite easily see why Mayweather would humiliate Khan and make him look amateurish. I won't even point out the mistakes Khan makes, and what Mayweather would take advantage of. If you can't see them, then...:dead

    Khan doesn't come close to beating either Mayweather or Pacquiao. Pacquiao stops him early...Mayweather stops him late.

    (Mayweather dominates any version of Khan before last weekends performance, including the Khan that beat Maidana...and plays with the version that fought McCloskey).

    Khan is a taller and slicker fighter. I think he gives Floyd lots of problems.

    Correct
    .6% chance of victory vs FMJ
    .5% chance of victory vs Pac.

    Khan's not slick at all. His legs are his defense.

    For a world class fighter, Khan is pretty unskilled. Mayweather is light years more skilled and intelligent and would beat him badly.
