    Im with you on this one. As they say styles make fights and Amir has a horrible style for Floyd to fight against. Don't get me wrong, Floyd is the better boxer but under Roach, Khan has made huge improvements. Khan will take little risks against Floyd and stay behind his ever improving jab. I can't see Khan lunging as much against Floyd but if he does get hit, i can't see Floyds power causing too many problems.

    Khan has the style to cause Floyd the most problems from the majority of boxers out there. The Ortiz fight wont show us much as his style is ideal for Floyds counter punching style. Also he is substantially slower than Khan.

    How is Khan's style all wrong for Floyd? I see it the other way round.

    Of course there's a chance of Khan winning, there's alway's a chance of that happening in any fight, but the chance is veryyyy slim

    I know, it's like comparing chalk & cheese but I would like to see how he deals with Matthysee first, either that or rematch the winner of Guerrero/Maidana. If he absolutely dominates them, then for me he will be ready. No stupid slip-ups, boxing a controlled, disciplined fight...

    Fair enough man, I agree Khan can improve on the jab still and he would have to execute it to perfection against Floyd to stand a chance...still reckon he has a much better chance than Victor though!

    That's cool. I can see why you and others believe that, and I'm certainly not going to say you're wrong. It's just my belief that Khan and Ortiz are on the same level, and that their chances of beating a Mayweather or a Pacquiao are equally low.

    Mayweather is naturally far bigger than Khan and sure as hell hits harder than Willie Limond. You better believe that Mayweather's accurate, sharp punching could put Amir to sleep.

    Uhhhh...no ****, is this not a given for essentially any fight? Floyd beats dude, and beats him rather easily, when you say "what's my proof or reasoning"...I've seen his last two fights.

    So Kotelnik a world champion, Paulie, Zab who many people were picking to KO are not live?

    JMM at 145 and a 38yrs Shot Shane were?, I mean this guy is P4P every fight he fights should be live fights.

    I disagree, Khan is sloppy, overly aggressive at times, he doesn't have very good footwork, his "plan" is going to be the same as every other guy PBF has fought (I'm going to pressure him, take the fight to him, etc etc) which essentially plays into PBF's hands, Khan isn't great defensively and will struggle to avoid PBF's shots, he would get beaten as bad or worse than Ortiz...I see nothing stylisticlly that would trouble PBF.

    SSM beats anyone of the three of those guys, the only one that would even have a real shot would be Kotelnik and that would be a stretch.

    Floyd is not naturally bigger than 5'10 Khan, when Khan moves upto 147 then you see what I mean.

    He probs would he is the bigger guy at 147, these guys are 140 fighters, Zab is now also.

    Khan would send Shane to retirement home now, Khan would give Shane a beating.

    Good grief. Firstly Floyd is not naturally bigger than Khan and if you watched the fight between Zab you would have known that. Khan will get bigger and bigger whereas Floyd has got to his natural max.

    Floyd putting Khan to sleep? When was the last time he did that? Khan took flush shots from Maidana and from Zab and didnt go down. He is much stronger than he was from his light weight days.

    The only way Floyd will beat Khan is via UD. It simply isn't in Floyds natural to fight aggressive, which is needed to stop Khan.
