    Khan's chin may hold up better at 147 and Mayweather is not as big a cause for concern when it comes to KOs

    Bottom line though is Mayweather is too smart for Khan

    **** the chin, it's irrelevant, this fight has all do to with skills. Khan ain't nowhere on Floyds level and that's all really there is to it.

    Exactly, FG.

    His chin would play no part. Floyd is much higher in level in every department, bar possibly speed and even that means nothing if you can't use it correctly.

    Yeah, that's why I have Mayweather pulling through with the decision.

    Would be similar to prime pac vs Floyd

    Khan is unbelivabley quick - and against an aged Mayweather - could see him winning

    Mayweather is either stopped on cuts or his corner throws the towel in

    Khan can probably survive 12 RDs Vs. Floyd's current style unless Mayweather morphs into his old school self when he loses respect for Amir's power.

    Wouldn't matter he still would fight like a robot and his Ring IQ is one of the worst I have seen.

    Mark this down if they fight Mayweather will KO Glass Jawed Khan faster than he did Ortiz.

    Khan doesn't have any power that is his biggest problem if he had power he could at least keep his opponents honest but they don't care they just come right at his Glass Jaw.

    ^No doubt, I was giving Amir the "Margarito" chin that this thread was implying in my response.

    Mayweather stop's Amir with Khan's real punch resistance.

    Then it'll just mean he'll lose a UD as opposed to being stopped.

    Khan could actually give Mayweather enough problems to keep it fairly close.

    Even if he had a great chin he would still be no match.
