    LOL, Khan's sloppy ass is getting KO'd. At the very least, he's going to look like an amateur as he gets knocked down because of his shoddy footwork.

    You can't come lunging in against a fighter like Mayweather. I don't care how fast you guys think his hands are.

    All im saying is this.

    If Floyd doesnt knock Khan out or give him a serious beating over 12 rounds, I will judge him.

    Agreed, khans length and speed should prove to be major problems

    Khan needs to use his bouncy amateur style.. like Molina. If he stays flatfooted like he did in the Diaz fight Mayweather will counter him with a better right hand and left hook all night...

    Mayweather has to be off key and Khan pull of the best performance of his career just to make it competative. Styles make fights... let's see what happens.

    Honestly it's a disgrace of a fight after Khan's last few performances. You can say as much as you want about Khan's speed and the so called problems that it'll supposedly give the current best p4p fighter (whilst not giving too many problems to lesser fighters than Mayweather). Quite simply it won't be anything that Mayweather hasn't dealt with before. Not to mention that Khan has the chin strength of wet toilet paper.

    How are these doner kebabs selling lately?, I see the less your parents are selling the more mentally incapable you become.

    I'm a big Floyd fan and money speaks louder than words. If we all boycott the PPV, then he'll be forced to fight someone like Pacquiao. SHO forced Floyd to fight Canelo.

    I don't think this is a bad fight, but it's not PPV material. Khan does present problems. Reach, speed and jab is how you beat Floyd. The problem is, is Khan disciplined enough to do that for 12 rounds. NO.

    I see a Prescott vs Khan 2 in the making.

    Khan is not going to see them punches coming and get frozen with a slashing 1-2 and down he goes. Floyd is absolutely gonna go for the KO here.I don't see anything apart from Khan work-rate and maybe speed that will trouble Floyd.But that's not enough against the best boxer today.He needs power to damage Floyd.Bust him up! otherwise Mayflower gonna be laughin in therrre!!

    I would not be too surprised if it happened. I've always thought Khan had the tools to become one of the top fighters.

    But, Khan has the wrong trainer. He's digressed under Virgil because they're only focusing on defense and Khan's defense should really be his offense. Roach is a better fit. So what if Khan gets KOd, Khan was a better fighter back then compared to his last two fights.

    All would be opponents of khan will go for the ko knowing he has a weak chin and his speed will make him score and probably win in a running fight

    I agree with you that Khan defence was his offence, main thing would be now going by his last fight vs Diaz is for Khan to up his workrate a bit and move around the ring more and not be too flat footed.

    I think the 147 limit would also help him feel better in the ring therefore him moving around better and not gassing as much.

    Khan needs to keep switching angles on Floyd and coming in with fast jabs double jabs without jumping in and see if his fast jabs present any other targets..

    I see Bambi remake

    When Floyd times Khan's shoe shine flurry with a wicked left hook.We've seen this before Khan is open to left hooks.Floyd has one of the best in the business hella quick and accurate.But maybe the show stopper is that pull back counter awesome shot by money Mayfeather. Amir shoe shines in front of Floyd is a bad idea. It will end in tears.

    How would Khan do with Jonathan Banks or Sugar Hill as his trainer?

    Who have Banks and Hill trained? I know Hill trains Stevenson and Wlad.
