    You say he has no power, yet he backed up Maidana, Cotto, Canelo, Mosley, Pacquiao... he had good power at the lower weights also. He also has well documented hand issues which prevent him turning the serious aggression on and he is a points gathering safety first fighter, this does not mean he has not shown power, just watch the fights, he clearly has respectable power. It is absolutely illogical to claim Mayweather has no power on his punches, you can say he doesn't sit down on punches unless forced as he is happy to coast to an easy points victory, not that he doesn't have power.

    You do realize Mayweather cannot use lidocaine/xylocaine 7 days before a fight? He also has never signed forms requiring any painkillers at all for his hands before a fight. Unless the 'whole of Nevada is in his pocket', I don't get how you can insinuate he can't live without it.

    You've just highlighted the reasons why he won't get the ko.

    Weak hands, defensive style, no agression, power at lower weights.

    I think he will stop Khan personally, if Garcia can time Khan, why can't Mayweather?

    There's nothing wrong with disagreeing about whether he would KO Khan but the TS suggested Floyd has no power which is complete nonsense.

    That's because the TS is a troll. And the others hate khan even more than floyd, and want too see him get starched again. It will be happen but floyd won't do it.

    I have always thought he would knock Khan out, by the third round he will adjust and walk him down, I cannot see Khan having much success beyond round 3, Floyd will hit him often and won't be bothered by his flurries, heck Pacman couldn't do anything without a speed advantage, Khan is faster than Floyd but not by much and he isn't used to having only a slight speed advantage. He does have an interesting reach advantage though I doubt he can use it to much effect. Floyd will time him by the third round, Garcia has done it, Peterson has done it and Mayweather had Pacquiao in the very first round.

    Actually Khan doesn't even have a reach advantage now I've checked up on it again, but he is almost the same length so it makes floyd's usual ridiculous reach almost insignificant. Then again, Canelo has the same reach as Khan and we all saw what happened there.

    if this fight happens , i do actually think floyd will wiin this one by knockout , khan will be hit numerous times by the right hand lead , that punch has some sting on it and will give amir serious problems , how many of those can khan take , not too many !!

    oh and this is coming from a UK khan fan by the way before you think im a floyd fan !!

    All of you dumb f***s over the last year+ have gotten what you wished for.

    Let me guess, the moment it is signed those same people scream "cherry pick," "coward," "ducker," "waaaaah," "Mommy come over I'm sad," etc.

    Same pattern for every Mayweather fight. Rinse and repeat. The Brit and his fans will be no different.

    He will catch him so many times he could stop or KO him, either that or he will make him look like an amateur and beat him up for 12 rounds, probably winning every round.

    I agree. He'll outbox him with ease however.
