    Well according to Floyd, apparently he doesn't know who Khan is, but might remember if he beats Jesse Vargas :deal

    Khan doesn't have much of a chance. Floyd is far too skilled, smart, and versatile for him.

    Floyd should fight Manny or just **** off.

    Kahn is much faster than floyd,
    Kahn made zab look like tyson fury... uncoordinated and slow

    Kahn KO Floyd Rnd 2

    Khan has a chance sure, but like Ortiz i think he will get his shot too early on in his career and will not be fully prepared, mentally if nothing else.

    The Dilemma is, Khan needs to face some more good opposition and will likely be ready in 18 - 24months. BUT Mayweather will likely retire by then, or his skills may have diminished and Khan wouldnt get full credit.

    Khan right now would lose, Mayweather is s tricky customer and Khan hasnt faced enough relevant guys at 140, let alone at 147.

    He knows what it will take to beat him... patience and letting floyd leadoff. Once he gets an opening, I think kahn will bang him up and floyd will get angry/anxious and lose his composure and get hit more. Could get ugly.

    Kahn was very patient with zab, a high velocity patience.

    Please do not enable Floyd and GBP's bull**** by buying into "Khan has a real chance at beating Floyd, he's a super fast, hungry young lion" crap.

    Floyd would pick him apart with relative ease. Mayweather is a boxing Einstein, Khan is Forrest Gump. It's a terrible matchup compared to Floyd-Manny. As long as these other bouts still make good money, the fans will continue to get screwed over with not getting the best matchup.

    Mayweather-Pacquiao is the only fight worth paying for.

    Absurd post.

    Khan has no inside game, modest ring savvy, average power, and a mediocre defense. In other words, it's hardly the recipe for beating PBF.

    Floyd would absolutely beat the **** out of that kid.

    Khan is too soft. Mayweather will bust him easy. Pac has more chance.

    How is khan supposed to beat mayweather, by outboxing him? Maybe in 2 years with improvement to khan, even then its a stretch.
