    Khan would have zero chance to make in to 8th round with GGG.

    Vs mayweather

    Khan is faster

    Has combinations- when has Floyd ever has combinations

    Floyd tries to play the hit and move but khan beats him to the punch

    Floyd timing much better but I've never seen anyone time khan and not get schooled unless they get a ko punch in

    Floyd has ****** hands so zero chance of ko-ing khan

    Khan vs Garcia was a one sided beat down until Garcia threw a blind left hook and got lucky

    Floyd doesn't have the power to do that

    Alexander hits harder than Floyd and couldn't even dent khan

    It's a huge mismatch and Floyd is very smart to duck khan like the ague

    Now maybe 6 years ago a peak Floyd had the ability to make it closer

    But khan has always been all wrong for Floyd

    Just like PAC is all wrong for khan it's a matchup issue

    Can't judge until we see Khan at the weight. Khan still has a lot to prove at WW, it is a bit premature to say that he could one day move to 160 and beat GGG. I would say a GGG win by KO but in a few years a lot of things can change.

    Actually, the odds are 73/26 in favor of Floyd.

    The last time he fought a big-punching world-class middleweight (Masoe) he was KTFO in 2...but has improved since.

    He could probably drop back down from light heavy without much trouble, considering he tried for the Fijian welterweight title just six fights ago.

    Hand speed definitely goes to Khan . Floyd cant match him with hand speed .

    Khan has the athleticism , Floyd doesn't .

    Punching power is definitely not equal . Khan can crack harder than Floyd can .

    Ask Maidana .

    Khan doesn't need to rough up Floyd like Maidana did .

    He has the reach and hand speed to get to Floyd with no problems .

    He will absolutely trouble Floyd with his style and outwork him over the distance .

    Would Khan have been unstoppable with Emanuel Steward or Naazim Richardson as his trainer?

    GGG would cut off the ring immediately and stop him in the second round. He could probably make the fight go faster if he started thanking Max and the fans ahead of time, while sitting in his corner in between rounds.

    Steward is a great trainer.

    Naazim is a slick talker that's all. Remember "Swim without getting wet".Well he was all wet against Mayweather.:rofl

    Zab Judah in the 2000 - 2006 had more speed and power than Khan...
