    Like most boxing fans I would be rooting for the upset here in the hope that Khan rips the titles away from Floyd, but he won't survive that check hook.

    Because Khan is chinny, has leaky defense, and nowhere near the skills and ring smarts of Floyd.

    Khan probably loses by wide decision, spending a lot of the fight on the retreat while getting his ass kicked, but I would not be surprised in the least if Mayweather scored a rare stoppage win.

    I can see Khan getting KO by PBF...this is NOT. A good match for Khan....but it will be a lucrative one!

    Come the 8 round, Khan reality will seat in...and once again another boring fight with PBF....obviously unless PBF. KO him! Which is likely!

    The history of a khan"s chin is well know..... That's as solid of a reason as any other.... In fact is the only reason!

    He hits harder than Willie Limmond.

    Khan has consistently been put on ***** street. He is the pinnacle of glass jawed boxers.

    The thing with Khan is that when a solid **** connects he always reacts to it badly. Even when he doesn't go down he goes into full retreat mode, legs like jelly, etc.

    God only knows how he'd react to facing a relentless puncher like Matthysse.

    Maidana had him on jellied legs for 3 full rounds.

    Floyd's also much more accurate than Maidana, and it doesn't take huge power to get Khan hurt. Limmond, Diaz and old man Gomez already proved that.

    But sure keep hanging on to Maidana failing to stop him and ignore the times he has been dropped, hurt or stopped by lesser fighters. Floyd KO's him. Too sharp and accurate for Khan.

    Plus Khan was put down by Drilzane who was 10-3(0) at the time and has since gone on to get his lone stoppage in 15 wins.

    He is chinny, reacts very badly to being hit but has a lot of heart.

    Josesito Lopez was able to hurt Maidana more in 5 rounds than Floyd could in 24, despite landing way less flush shots. Floyd can't punch snow off a rope.

    Khan never been down at 147 :deal

    The Collazo fight wasn't boring and not even close. It was extremely fun and competitive. I think it's safe to say Khan is rarely(if ever) in a boring fight. The only boring fight I could remember is his fight with Molina, which was a mismatch(understandable since Khan was coming off a big loss anyway) against an opponent undersized with no power.

    If Collazo hurt him, then Mayweather can hurt him too.

    I don't remember Khan getting hurt in the Collazo fight.


    Mayweather would have a chance of KO'ing Khan only because Khan has the worst ring IQ in boxing. Khan is a super talented tough enough guy but he's also a moron.
