    It would be kind of entertaining if it were true. More of a showcase...certainly not a legacy defining fight. Khan is offensive minded, he will come to fight, and may have his moments. But, he won't win. In fact, no one worth fighting in and around WW right now would beat Floyd, IMO.

    I just can't see it, I can see him having relative success in the opening round, may be a bit in to round 2, as always while Floyd is seeing what Khan is all about and Khan does like to explode in to a fight during those opening rounds, but apart from that, I can't seem him doing anything other than hitting air and getting countered, while following Floyd around the ring like a lost dog.

    He is earning folks! No matter who he faces, Espinoza wants the fight. So there is nothing you can do about it! So shut up.

    Only reason I want to see it is to finally see Khan get his mouth shut. Be careful what you ask for. Khan has been extremely annoying with his mouth and claiming he could take out guys like Mayweather or Pacquiao.

    Great man, you "claim" you beat up Pac in sparring. Good for you...... They should have him fight Pacquiao right after he loses to Mayweather so we can put the Khan hype to bed once and for all. Pac would probably retire him.

    It will at least be fun to again laugh at all the people who maintain "Khan will give Mayweather fits with his speed and style!!"

    Khan is going to rise to the occasion to the biggest fight of his life.

    Style wise Khan gives more problems than any other fighter Floyd has faced.

    Khan will be in a controlled state like he was vs Kotelnik, Paulie, Zab, note in the 30 rounds he boxed you can make a case Khan won every round.

    Now I'm not comparing these guys to Floyd but I'm trying to say when Khan boxes to a plan and doesn't try to force his work he can be very effective, you can be sure Khan will try out boxing Floyd not trying to KO him like Khan vs Peterson and Garcia where Khan went all out attack.

    If Khan uses his speed, and straight punching style vs Floyd in a controlled manner then he can surprise a lot of people.

    At 147 Khan will be better suited and not drained I see this fight going the distance, this will be a chess match boxing..

    it could happen...

    happens to underdogs all the time who step up on the occasion... not to mention khan actually has the ability.... it's about mental toughness and concentration... he has a tendency to go full ****** and go toe to toe which doesn't suit his style thus gets ko'd....


    it's like bradley when he fought provodnikov... if he goes toe 2 tow then he looks ****... but when he boxes he looks good

    Yeah Hunter will deffo try to mentally get him ready for this fight, and his mindset in the ring.. Very important.

    Khan does NOT have the ability.

    He has some range and speed, a nice jab. His skills still at times get grotesquely overrated because he's fast. He does not have the defense, ring intelligence, footwork, accuracy, power, instincts, skills, etc.....for Mayweather.

    Given the dearth of good matchups, I'm not really even bothered by this fight, but Khan barely has a chance to win.
