    no, khan's attacks are too predictable right down the middle with those 121212 blitzes. Not an intelligent attacker: couldn't land on McCloskey AT ALL with convincing regularity. Who is better defensively than McCloskey? Oh yeah, Floyd.

    In all seriousness, I can see it looking like Hopkins-Pascal 1, minus the knock-downs. From round 3 onwards, Floyd dominates him.

    Might be a type of Mayweather-Judah affair for the first 3 rounds. After that Mayweather takes over unless Khan himself has a different plan B and C for different phases of the fight.

    Khan is a live opponent for Mayweather.

    None. Khan would get KOed faster than Ortiz. Mayweather's lead right hand and leaping left hook would land at will on Khan and one of them would shatter that fragile Glass Jaw.

    Khan has no chin, none.
    Mayweather has no power, none.

    Makes them equal.

    It's not impossible but I would expect Mayweather to convincingly beat him with very little trouble.

    Khan is approaching his prime, while Mayweather is moving away from his prime. So Khan's chances are improving every day.

    I'd pick Khan from 2015 onwards.

    David Haye - Vitali is a similar story perhaps

    If he goes as far as people hope, then yes, but right now, no. He'd make things entertaining early with some largely ineffective volume and backing Floyd up in a way that makes people think he has a shot, then he'd get countered badly over the next 9 or so rounds; if Floyd is looking to make a statement, he may even stop him.

    If Khan learns to fight on the inside, gets more patient and cerebral with his timing (especially with that stiff jab), and adds more versatility to his offensive angles and combinations, then I can see his great hand (and competent foot-) speed and jab-oriented outside straight-punching style give an aging Floyd problems.
