    Floyd would just adapt against Khan.

    Khan is still predictable.

    You can't adapt to somebody that has so many advantages over you. There is only so much poor Floyd can do.

    What advantages? Other than speed and reach? And Floyd actually has the longer reach.

    I think his accuract is underrated. that dude lands alot of punches and nows gets out of there most of the time.

    Floyd would have to throw more then he usually does. I know almost always he dicates what happens in the ring but Khan will NEVER go to just throwing 1 punch, he never has.

    If khan was to throw 4-5 punches land like 2-3 and Mayweather just pot shots round will be very close. Now Mayweather is possibly the most accuracte boxer ever but it will be hard going by rounds.

    What's the f*cking point? You will never agree or concede. You started this thread just to argue. As soon as someone said yes, you jumped all over them like a troll.

    This...and what is interesting is that Floyd's style right now is far less counterpunching and aggressive like he used to be. He is a lot more planted, and opens up to using the jab a lot more, and his jab is nothing special. It is a very recent work.

    Khan has the ability to out punch him

    But I think he would lunge In too much and get countered by strong punches

    People need to re visit the May vs mosely fight

    Mayweather was accurate and strong in his punches, Made mosely think twice

    And Khan would get hurt easier than mosely

    You act like these are minor advantages...

    Anyhow, in addition to his advantages in terms of:

    * handspeed
    * height
    * reach

    Khan also has advantages in terms of :

    * output
    * mobility/footwork (at this stage of their respective careers)
    * power

    Floyd has ring IQ, punch resistance, defense and and experience advantage, he would probably have partial referee and judges also being that he's fighting at home and the money he brings into LV.

    Minimal. No thats harsh, 30 to 35 percent.

    Mayweathers not a massive puncher but he can hit hard enough, hard enough to put Khan down. Hes so far been clever enough to outwit or figure out a way to beat any opponant to date and Khan is really good, deserves his belts and to be walking round the peaks of the division but hes no great, hes got very fast hands and solid skills but really thats it.

    Boxing, you never know so gotta give Khan some percent, hes a decent boxer but Mayweathers not done yet, hes still the best as far as im concerned.

    Floyd actually has the longer reach.

    Power? Khan's power is decent at best. Floyd has fought MUCH harder punchers than Khan. I don't know why people even bring that up.
