    Floyd reacts to his opponents. He wasn't defensive against Mosley, or Ortiz, and I believe he won't be defensive minded against Khan.

    He's going to check Khan's chin. He's going to go with what will win him the fight, and in this case for this oppenent. the best choice would be to be offensive minded.

    If Mayweather was losing he would literally turn into a brawler he wont lose this, Dwyer just picks underdogs

    Khan always fades after the first 2 rounds...

    I expect him to have a lead in the fight at some point (after rounds 1, 2, or 3)...

    I'm interested in knowing what led you to make this assumption.

    Yeah, but I say Mosley n Ortiz were 4 and 3 years ago, 37 is 37 Mayweather or not. This isnt the best analogy but in the cotto fight when he was walking cotto down he didn't look the best. My biggest point is Khan really is dealt with in exchanges, and if he can keep Mayweather to his 1 punch pot shots he has a chance to win on points

    Floyd might lose round 1, and thats all he can lose just to see what Khan is about and than he will have field day with Khan, there isnt to much Floyd can not do in the ring and Khan has poor defense and no ring IQ he will get picked apart and stopped late!!!

    That sounds like an assumption. Because if thats the case 35 is 35, and 36 is 36, and he found a way to win both those fights. A 37 year old Mayweather is probably just as fresh if not more fresh than Khan is at this point. Hell, I even think he's taken less damage than Khan has at this point of their careers.

    I can only go by

    A) styles.
    B) what history has shown.
    C)my own unique sense of knowledge ( that we all have )

    and with that I say, I believe Khan is a better matchup than Maidana. I actually want to see the Khan fight more than i do the Maidana fight. People are underrating Khan, and I made a thread about that.

    With that being said, I just dont think he's good enough. I think the Natural Talent, IQ, Ring Generalship, and Experience is too far between Khan and Floyd, for Floyd to pull it off.

    So While I think Khan will do better than most. I can't see him winning an SD. I see 116-112 maybe 117-111 for Floyd.

    Nothing more. (In my opinion)

    I agree with ya.

    I do say that I know Khan brings in more money and is more popular but in no way derserve the fight.

    I also know that Martinez shouldnt be fighting Cotto and should be fighting GGG. It kinda of sucks for our sport in boxing because it happens like that sometimes. I only say kinda because most of the time the big money fight is the BIG fight. But its politics sometimes

    Maidana derserves it more but he has 0% chance of winning..he still should get the fight but thats how it goes. Now he has to fight broner again, Possibly on the undercard or later, and he might lose the rematch. You go from fighting for 5-10 Million dollars to losing your title to the punk kid u just beat and getting ready for a 3rd fight in the fall. Now your whole year is booked up fighting 1 guy and seeing Khan getting pounded.

    Thats boxing sometimes :bbb:bbb

    Disagree. Judah was timid as hell in their fight and he pretty much took the first 3 rounds (well 2 anyway). Technically dropped him too. I actually think the early rounds are the only chance Khan has.
