    I mean Floyd made severe adjustments from the first fight to the second, in the first fight he lay on the ropes too much and this allowed Maidana to get his punches off. In the second fight, Mayweather moved alot and Maidana had nothing to hit.

    With Khan i dont think Floyd will have to make too many adjustments.

    The questions will be

    how long with it take Floyd to time Khans speed and how long can Khan keep up that pace?

    If Floyd plays aggressor, will that play into Khans hands? Khan to me, will be looking to follow the same gameplan he did against Collazo. Getting in and out quickly and tying up when in danger.

    He did Make that adjustment, but we've seen floyd on his bike before and personally think he was suprised by Maidans footwork in the first fight and got caught on the ropes and took lot of damage in the first 5 rounds, in the rematch he stayed fresher for longer because he avoided that damage.

    In my opinion

    how long with it take Floyd to time Khans speed - 3/4 Rounds
    and
    how long can Khan keep up that pace - 6-8 rounds

    If Floyd plays aggressor, will that play into Khans hands? Depends if floyd fights aggresivley on the outside, yes it does, but he wont, he'll be going to khans inside and Floyd dominates there against khan

    Khan to me, will be looking to follow the same gameplan he did against Collazo. Getting in and out quickly and tying up when in danger. - I also see him throwing few more jabs and doubling up on it, from chest to head, and less clinching as Floyd can fight in the clinch unlike khan

    If Khan makes easy work of Alexander, Mayweather will duck Khan in May mark my words.

    No because at this stage Mayweather career wont wanting to be facing the best version of Khan.

    Even if Floyd thinks he can beat him, it wont let him look good, Floyd needs a good look fight after the 2 bad looking Maidana fights.

    It's a joke that people think Khan would be competitive with Floyd.

    Garcia knocked Khan out, they haven't let that lie down

    Do you think they would let Floyd off that easy?

    Floyd would knock Khan out, and people on here would be accusing him of ducking a rematch.

    Fair enough. Can you elaborate on how?

    ...and if you are going to say "because of styles", please go into detail as to what you see in Khan's style that beats Mayweather...and for the love of the Queensberry rules and whatever else is holy, do not say the word speed.

    Just for reference:

    Style: How a boxer fights.

    Attribute: Physical tools a boxer has, such as speed, or range.

    Haha, VG and IB trying to look for something which doesn't exist.

    A genuine breakdown of how Khan beats Floyd, by a Khan fan.

    Anything khan does, Floyd will have an answer for
