    Based on style and what type of tools Khan brings to the table and weighing up Floyd now Khan for me seems the more likely to win on points.

    Nor Floyd has the power or pressure style to beat Khan, so this boils down to a pure boxing match and this is what Khan is really good at, his jab, his handspeed, his recent mindset of boxing instead of fighting, his workrate, his size as in reach, this all spells problems for Floyd.

    Unless Floyd KO's Khan I feel Khan would win on points..

    Khan can't outbox Floyd.

    No chance. Floyd would have a field day countering Khan as he comes in.

    Khan is not coming into sh*t, This will take place at Khan's tempo and at range.. like a chess match..

    he probably doesn't deserve the fight, and I've removed myself from the khan fanbase because I'm getting ****ed off with his ducking of anyone decent to get the fmj fight.

    however I think he may well win the jab battle if they do fight, and can use a few flurries to win rounds on points. Whether he can keep it up for 12 rounds without walking into a counter punch, or cope with the inside fight without getting points deducted for clinching is another matter.

    if Floyd does lose the jab battle, I can't see him doing what DA did, he'll make it into a dirtier inside type of fight and probably get khan off his rhythm.

    Khan has cherry picked his way into the 147 division , he neither fought or beaten anybody worth shouting about imo , Alexander was done after the mauling by porter and collazo was past his best also , hes now fighting a light-welter in Algieri

    Darni I hope Khan pays you for your time on here shaking the Pom Poms :lol:

    At least a few quid so you can get your cheerleading uniform dry cleaned.

    Khan doesn't move his head, floyd throws an overhand right and sends Khan to the canvas

    Battle of the jab's Khan would win, plus Khan would get off first most times and that putting Floyd on the backfoot because he does not like getting hit.

    Khan has the reach to get off and stay out of range and doesn't have to jump in like small 5'6 Pacman..

    I think you are right Floyd would make the adjustment to make it more of a rough fight, question his would this play into Khan's hands with Floyd walking onto him?

    We have seen Khan with more controlled workrate under Hunter, so I don't see him gassing like Zab did after a few rounds, Khan would finish the job..

    Khan's not going to win rounds by punching thin air
