    Khan knows he looked like **** in his last fight, even amateurish at times. He would want another big win before taking on floyd mayweather.

    Chances to fight floyd wont come everyday. Khan knows this is probably one of the only times he can fight him and at 147 he may pose more of a threat.
    Still i think floyd schools him.

    khan has already said he waiting for the top guys to get old, then he looking to make them fights. I don't think he would take the fight quite yet.

    Mayweather breaks him down with ease and either cruises to a wide UD or get's a late TKO.

    Can't see Team Khan taking the fight at this time. They know Amir's not ready and they have bigger plans ahead than ruining their guy's reputation in a fight like this.

    This is more of why I think Bradley might be the guy. He's undefeated (good for Floyd to promote as an opponent) and is coming off a very disappointing match with Alexander. His leverage isn't so hot right now.

    Khan, on the other hand, is seen as a possible future star in the sport. He can wait for now, IMO. Bradley might think, on the other hand, this is his best chance to cash out.

    We'll see.

    Yep its 50 50 with both opponents. The thing that makes khan unique is that he's british. Meaning more ppvs and more money $$. Also khan has that connection with pacquiao and roach will be involved making the fight worth sooooooo much more than the bradley fight, and gaining alot more attention. Also Khan is more equiped to giving floyd a better challenge than bradley ( taller, faster etc. ). This fight could be as big as hatton vs mayweather if not bigger.
    But we shall see...

    Mayweather's first KO since the last British guy he fought.

    most people would say floyd without even having to think about,but!,consider the possible factors which could go in khans favour:

    Khan has a very good jab,
    He has fast fast combinations,
    His footwork and movement/speed around the ring is quickk,
    He has very good stamina,
    He can stick very strictly to a gameplan,
    he has a lot of heart,
    Hes shown to be able to dig deep and take big punches from maidana(floyd is going to hit as hard as that)

    Floyd is older,slower,inactive,some say his frame and his age makes him less able to move around so well,less quick,especially when doing more than pot shotting.

    Sure,khan can have bad peformances,look amaturish with little mistakes that could get him in big trouble,but floyd wouldnt pressure that much,certanrly not with any number of constant high punch combinations,even if he comes forward ala mosley fight.

    I could see khan possibly being able to outbox floyd,especially with floyds age,inactivity and khans youth,stamina,footwork,blistering speed and blinding combinations,with some improvement in his defence and ring generalship/inside work.

    Dont totally rule it out as impossible!.
