    I think Khan, despite his flaws, has the skills that scare Mayweather.

    He's bigger, quicker on his feet, has faster hands ,hits harder and is younger so Floyd can't wait for him to be over the hill like he has with his other name opponents!

    This is a hard fight to pick

    I'd actually favor Khan but he could easily be KO'd

    Mayweather easy. Khan has no footwork and no defence.

    Mayweather. Khan wins 3-4 rounds early, Floyd times him and takes over the second half. But I'd actually like to see this fight, amir has speed and he's a busy fighter, and unlike pac he may actually go for broke late if he's down

    I've said it from the get go. Khan can beat him. He'd win rounds. More rounds than Pac and he would get the decision. My god i've never felt more confident about it.

    I'm a Khan fan so I have bias but I truly believe that 29 year old Khan beats 38 year old Mayweather right now.

    No that's exacly what beats floyd!

    and 160lb Khan isn't as light hitting as you'd think. He'd blood Floyd up.

    It's a technical fight. Both at range. Khan taller and faster WITH A HIGHER OUTPUT.

    Battle of the jab and straight. Khan puts the rounds in the bag.

    The rounds Khan fails in are where Floyd counters with great precision and lands the left hook or right hand and leaves Khan unable to answer in the round due to Floyd having a good enough of a defence and response to edge them.

    If khans chin holds up then he beats Floyd with work rate, speed and reach and every Floyd fan knows this.

    Khan looks good at first and has some mayweather fans worried but then around round 3-4 floyd takes over and counters khan at will on his way in and out (especially the uppercut) and gets the tko.Khan isn't taller than Floyd is he ? floyd is 5'8 and khan is 5'8 and a half ?
