    Im a big Khan fan, but I really hope he gets in at least 3 more fights before he calls out Mayweather, I still think Floyd is too much for him at this stage.

    Like someone said earlier, even a slightly past prime Floyd is too much for most of the fighters out there.

    Khan has the speed and tools to trouble anybody, but Floyd can adjust to just about any style, he's the master of chess in the ring, and everybody knows about his defence.

    Floyd would have to be completely shot for that to ever happen because there's no way that Khan's mushy mandible holds up to Mayweather's accurate counters for twelve rounds.

    Even if Khan does lose to Floyd, so what?... that's Floyd ****ing Mayweather he's in with. If anything it'll be a good learning experience for Khan as a fighter.

    Boxers don't normally learn anything from short, one-sided batterings and Khan's woeful Glass Jaw doesn't leave many other options for endings in that fight.:deal

    He can weigh more than Floyd if he wants, he wont be stronger than floyd in a years time and he has no inside defense. His balance is bad when he is being pressured and backed up, Maidana showed that. He was never 'coasting' in that fight, it showed what makes khan uncomfortable. Im not saying khan didnt win that fight or deserves credit for it, youre misinterpreting that. Im saying it shows what is effective against khan.

    Funniest post I've seen in awhile. The only man in boxing whose punch resistance is more atrocious than Khan's is Kirkland. Khan has no Chin. None.:deal

    Sheep #1: "OH EM GEE Khan punches soooo fast!!"

    Sheep #2: "OH EM GEE I know and he's such a good body puncher"

    Sheep #3: "Yea OH EM GEE I think he's gonna beat Floyd Mayweather!!"

    Newsflash: Khan ain't gonna do ****. Yeah, he's fast but he's no RJJ..

    And why not? Anybody who knows boxing knows that Khan doesn't have a chance against Floyd. He sucks inside, his offense consists of high-volume punching with little accuracy, and jab is lazy and begs for the pull counter, something that his Fragile Glass Mandible can't hope to cope with over twelve rounds.

    High-output volume punchers with a multitude of technical flaws get beat up by slick counterfighters. It's irrefutable.

    The only thing Khan will gain from a fight with Floyd is the knowledge that he'll never reach the same level of greatness. Period.

    I definitely would not put money on khan beating floyd, even if it was in the uk, judah had nothing whatsoever to threaten khan apart from some wild swinging shots and he looked beaten right from round one with his jabs landing hesitantly short, floyd has developed into a pretty hardhitting WW with more than enough pop to back khan up & that means trouble for khan

    The reflexes he has here in training are enough to beat Khan.

    And that's nothing compared to how Mayweather used to look before the layoff. [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU6cgwWcmHA[/ame]
    Khan has no defense. No chin. And really poor footwork and balance.

    You know he has no chance in hell until Floyd is nearly shot.
