    Khan is a millions times better than bum Oritz. Still Floyd would teach him a good lesson, a valuable one maybe. I'd think Khan would come back from the loss a better fighter.

    Of course he has a chance, small but yes. He's also the 3rd best fighter Mayweather could realistically face right now.

    <<<< this

    He's got the boxing skill and speed to embarrass floyd!
    The only thing I fear is his glass chin.

    small chance but it depends if Khan continues to progess when he moves upto 147lb and if Mayweather starts to decline significantly

    In 3 yrs, Khan will be nearly unstoppable @ 154. Unified and undisputed.

    He's only like 23 or something, still a child. When he grows into his frame he's gonna be a beast of a man.:deal

    He will be Floyds most difficult fight at WW. Khan brings speed, power and skill to the table to date. I can see Mayweather losing the first few rounds but ad******g later on. Depending on Khans gameplan and Floyds adjustsments, this could go down as a classic.......I HOPE!

    As mentioned by an earlier poster, Floyd will not just stand back and soak it up. Khan has a very good jab with speed, reach and power behind it. Floyd will be the most attacking that we've seen him for quite some time. I repeat, Floyd will be the most offensive he's ever been against Khan. He will look to KO Khan i think.

    Although Khan is quallity, he has a long way to go before dominating anything. You need a lot of hard work and dedication to do that and he's still young. He will have to take a leaf out of you're chosen avatar to do that...

    I can see Khan winning the first couple of rounds, finding his range on the outside and landing the jab, but if Floyd can adapt as easy as usual, he'll dominate after round 3/4 and win a UD. Although I think PBF will find it harder to adapt to Khan than normal.

    It will go like this. Khan will have to be VERY disciplined against Floyd and just stay behind the jab at all costs. No need to make things complicated i think. Against Maidana he tried to make things more entertaining and tried to engage and nearly got KTFO. No need. There is no one better than Floyd working out a boxers weaknesses. Let Floyd do the chasing and make the mistakes for a change......

    No substitution for raw speed, reach and skill..
