    He would give Floyd all sorts of problems. Void wouldn't be able to deal with the speed and the combinations of Amir Khan! FACT

    No, not really. It really depends if Floyd is careless or not, like he was with Mosley (when he got caught).

    You mean like he didn't tire in the Peterson and Maidana fights?

    For the first couple of rounds due to his speed and the fact that Khan is a front-runner who starts fast.

    None whatsoever.
    Unless you count the way it feels when you have a pesky fly buzzing around your head.
    No shame in this though,not many would give Floyd "problems"

    No, none whatsoever. Quick KO, before 6rds.

    prime Money would wreck Khan but Mayweather will probably be 36 when he fights him, Khan will be peaking. It certainly wont be a early KO but May will struggle to beat him at his age - should take a decision over 12 rounds though.

    this year and next is the first time several good boxers will start to fancy their chances against Pacman and Money, they wont just be in it for the money, they are slowly becoming more and more beatable.

    I think Floyd's a bit too savvy to fall for some of Khan's tricks.

    It would be interesting to see who takes the lead in the fight though, I very much guess it would be Floyd.

    this, peterson set a blueprint but mayweather can't follow it because he's smaller and isn't as strong as peterson, Floyd will make his own adjustments and take a UD - 116- 112, in UK he'll still take a MD, with on judge scoring it even
