    Floyd doesn't punch when fighters punch, he counters. You can't counter Khan when he throws blistering combos. Garcia threw the hook with khan, but khan threw an uppercut leaving himself open. Khan is all wrong for May, I can't see him beating Khan.

    Remember that Floyd is actually the one with the longer reach.

    After seeing Khan last night, I actually like a Mayweather fight. But I know people would scream cherrypick.

    jumping the gun

    Brook & Bradley are the guys he should be facing (has the ability to beat them both)

    I see him winning rounds against both Pac & Floyd...whether he can avoid getting hurt from counters from both men and winning 6+ rounds i'm unsure.


    The more dangerous but slightly lesser fighters would be Thurman and Maidana.

    Khan should go after Floyd with Bradley & Brook as backup plans.

    A combination of his 'fanbase' and 'hate-base' could easily see him secure a fight with Floyd.

    I can see the similarities. The youngers fighters are flawed but their youth, height and athleticism might enable them to outwork the older man.
