    I think Whitaker`s jab would be a problem for Khan, he never fought anyone with a jab like Whitaker`s.

    Whitaker didn`t have Garcia`s power.

    Probably? There are levels to this ****. Simon Brown would knock Amir Khan the fizzle out.

    Was Khan ever even in the ring magazine`s P4P top ten at anytime? I can`t remember a time when he cracked that list, really overrated fighter with some embarrassing losses.

    Sweat Pea stops Amir around the 9th or 10th. I can’t see him not figuring him out rather easily and breaking him down. Even though Pea wasn’t known to be a KO puncher I still see a stoppage.

    Tyson was one of the greatest fighters of all-time at countering the jab and was a far better counter puncher than Khan is, no comparison at all.

    It's always baffled me how some fans act like Khan is some master boxer.

    He's not a master boxer, but I don't see what Whitaker can do with Khan, horrible style matchup for Whitaker, the speed and combinations would be too much, and Whitaker has nothing to deter Khan, you have to either be a pressure fighter or have the power to hurt Khan to beat him

    No. No, you don't. He can absolutely be out boxed. There's more to it than speed.

    And Whitaker definitely had the power to KO him. An old, cocaine fatigued Whitaker was getting soundly out worked by Cuban Disobelys Hurtado late in his career (in a manner similar to what you think would happen with Khan) before this happened:

    Khan.

    The reach, workrate, speed will be too much for Whitaker. Whitaker doesn't have the power to stop Khan. He'll be outworked by a taller, rangier guy.

    Norton beat Ali, 3 times. They're not even in the same league.

    Khan is a far worse stylistic nightmare for Pea than Norton ever was for Ali.
