    As likely as pigs flying AKA impossible...

    but impossible isn't possible in boxing.

    ****... all I takes is for Floyd to break his right hand and sprain an ankle and he is screwed. Sometimes fine details can make the difference between dominating someone or getting knocked out by someone.

    I'll say this..he's lighting quick but he has to be the old Khan and attack and then step back and make mayweather lead. Virgil can't have this ****** thinking too much.

    Judges have never seen anyone compete with mayweather speed with speed...he'll look flashy with his combos. Judges might be swayed by someone who actually looks like they belong. Khan also comes out super aggressive on occoassion like he did with garcia and peterson.

    He could build up a early lead...paulie and RJ agreed that his style is tough for a guy to dig out of a early hole against.

    mayweather's feather fisted cant crack his china chin either...

    Douglas wasnt a bum as such, it was just that Tyson was so huge, everyone was a bum in front of him, even Holyfield in '96.

    What people seem to forget is Douglas wasnt some bum who just turned up out of nowhere, he was on a good run before facing/beating Tyson.

    Hed beat Page, had the controversial loss to Tucker, beat Mcall and Berbick and thus had earnt his title shot (and took full advantage of it)

    Khan will probably be somewhere between an 8-1 and 10-1 underdog. There have been much worse upsets, oddswise, historically. Nonetheless, it would be a shocking, high-profile upset, but I don't think it will happen.

    Amir Khan has all the natural talents and physical tools to beat Mayweather. The problem is, hes a terrible fighter who is still very raw and lacks basic boxing skills. His low ring IQ and his chin really give him no chance against a mayweather. I sometimes think of smarter more cerebral fighters if they were blessed with Amirs talents... Imagine hopkins with those gifts

    ATG's in their prime losing to NON CONTENDERS... One of those would be a bigger upset.

    Khan has the speed to beat Void, but the real problem is that it's impossible for Void to lose a decision. The referee and judges will not score a fight against Void...............

    Khan needs to avenge his loss to Prescott.
