Amir Khan at least has the tools to trouble Mayweather

    The only, I mean only way to compete with Mayweather is to be able to keep up with him in speed department. Say what you want about Khan, he has VERY fast hands. Faster Hands than anyone Floyd has ever fought including Judah. Yes Amir Khan has a glass jaw, yes he has not won a big fight in many years. Still, Khan's handspeed, combination punching is far and away better than any opponent Floyd has ever fought. Khan CAN win rounds against Floyd. He can compete...until he gets knocked out. If Mayweather-Garcia happens, Garcia brings nothing to the table that can trouble Floyd. Khan brings SPEED to the table. Mayweather WILL beat Khan indisputably, but at least Khan may compete or bring something interesting to the table.

    Now with that said...The only fighters I am interested in seeing FLoyd take on are Manny Pac and E Lara. No one else. If I had to settle for a consolation prize, Khan isn't a bad choice for me, because of his handspeed.

    He might edge Floyd in hand speed. So what? Floyd will counter him all night with brilliant punch selection and ring generalship. And I would say judah was faster then khan is now back in 2005 when Floyd fought him

    Judah has slowed down significantly over the last 7-8 years

    No, he does. His loses his speed after 4 rounds or so and he has ZERO power and the worst ring IQ there is. And his abysmal Glass Jaw.

    Mayweather blows him out he doesn't have to worry about anything coming back at him.

    It is sad really. Anyone that knows Boxing knows Khan gets obliterated in this match up. It reminds me of the idiots on here that were picking Mitchel to beat Arreola a few weeks back. Total lack of basic Boxing knowledge.

    OMG Hell no. People need to wake up and stop spitting this bull ****. Khan has nothing for Floyd and that Amateur **** he does is not going to work. He even falls in without any head movement trying to land fast combinations. It won't work with Floyd. Floyd has fast hands as well plus the best timing in the business. Speed is not enough bc there are things Floyd can do and will do to offset Khans hand speed. Khan won't win a round against Floyd and the first right hand counter over Khans jab will destroy him mentally. He has no inside game, average foot work and dented chin. You won't land combinations on Floyd bc he won't allow you to do that. You will either get caught with a counter after your second punch misses, get tied up, shoved, or he will just get out of range.

    Mayweather will get the KO, without a sucker punch this time, if this fight happens, unless he decides to carry Khan.

    Amir's iron chin could especially trouble Floyd once he reallises he can't keep the tough as nails Brit off him

    You idiot that would only matter if Mayweather was slow. He is just as fast and has more skills, a better Chin, better ring IQ, better stamina, defense, better everything. How can you not analyze a fight like this?

    Maye you should go back to the classic forum and play dungeons and dragons and debate if Jack Johnson could beat Mike Tyson :lol::rofl

    WTF!!!

    Everyone Floyd has fought has been an accomplished champion with skills. Kahn has not accomplished ****! so how is he far more superior technically than anyone Floyd fought?
    Corrales of 84 would dust Kanh in 4 rounds
    Castilio of 82 would destroy Kahn .
    Shane would Kill Kahn now .
    Cotto would use Kahn as work out equipment.
    Alverez would .. forget it no one wants Kahn hurt that bad .
    The Ghost and Ortiz would be too much for Kahn at this stage of his career.
    Speed is all Kahn has, and he does not know how to use that correctly .
    Kahn had better listen to Hunter and work on his skills before he even thinks of fighting Floyd.
    Kahn speed is not even an asset against a fighter like floyd or any of the fighters mentioned above .
