    khan fans are not true boxing fans just fan boys

    and theses fan boys will scream neck shots , lucky punches , being weight drained after khan said there is no problem, refs , peds , men wearing hats , to much flouride , coaches , and a farcical poll which he only one one of :oops:

    I think khan can beat him but not in way of knock out
    It would be a points win by outworking and landing more punches

    Based on what we have seen of Khan so far, no. But he did look much better in his last fight, he seems to have made serious changes, he can now counter, can clinch reasonably effectively and is less predictable.

    Mayweather is in decline and I think Khan could now give him a good fight early on. But Khan needs to be more active, the fact he is trying to get a Mayweather fight while not actually fighting anyone doesn't fill me with confidence in terms of his chances. Seems like he is being protected from another possible loss in the hope of a Mayweather fight.

    Floyd is still incredibly good when the fight is taking place in the center of the ring. There is really no way Khan would win outside of a fluke knockout.

    The jab is really the only weapon Khan has against Mayweather, the rest of Khan's attack would be blocked or dodged by Mayweather.

    The title of the thread is not "do think Khan should fight Mayweather next" which seems to be the bulk of the responses.

    Yes I think its possible that Khan could beat Mayweather. Brook was a laughing stock on here a couple of weeks ago, now people are stating that Khan needs to beat Brook before being taken seriously??

    Mayweather is definitely slowing down but still fast enough . Khan has fast hands and good combinations but poor decision making. The fight would be interesting I think Mayweather wins but Khan has success in a few rounds.

    Not now not ever. Khan is fast but as Roger Mayweather says "speed don't mean ****" as timing and skills beats speed. Mayweather has fast hands and feet however Khan thinks Mayweather has slowed down with age so he can steal a decision. The facts are that Khan has lost and being stopped by guys who have less speed than him. He may be mistaking Floyd for Collazo. Mayweather will find Khan's chin and put his lights out. Khan's comments are an embarassment

    Khan has too many leaks that would be exploited on and capitalized by the veteran Mayweather.

    Floyd could easily shatter Khan's abysmal Glass Jaw with his crisp counters.

    Gotta admit, that sh*t was funny. Especially his delivery when he said it...extra funny because it was true.

    No it WASN'T.

    Khan's debut at 147 was against Collazo.
