    The only way Floyd will lose will be

    1. against someone that is a very good fighter with a significant size advantage(Golovkin)

    2. or a multi-dimensional dynamic fighter that is pretty much a complete package.

    Khan doesn't fit either description. There are 2 WW's that do fit that description however.

    Khan could do well against Floyd BUT

    He is looking worn & his best attributes looked faded against algieri...
    He will be coming off Ramadan
    His new style is MORE SUITED to Floyd

    Khan will make it a good fight...but meh Floyd is Floyd you can't go against him. We'll see if he can finally get a stoppage off some nice counters.

    It won't be .. On the whole Kahn isn't a big deal in the UK anymore ... Only in pockets of Britain ... I was at the Manchester press conference with Hatton vs Mayweather and it was mental... Better atmosphere then most fights .. No way Kahn has that sort of backing

    Why do ret@rds always say so & so's work rate will be too much for Floyd? How many times do you have to see floyd cut everyone's work rate to less than half of what they usually throw before you get it? Khan won't do sh@t but take shots to the face like a pornstar.

    Thing is there is too much of a performance jump between Alexander fight and Algieri fight, that indicates a bad camp and off night..

    Trust me that night vs Alexander Khan would of made hell of Floyd..

    I think vs Floyd we will see the best Khan to date.. he will rise to the occasion..

    Used to. He's seemed to have closed that up a little under Virgil. Still, he makes mistakes but definitely isn't as risky as he was under Roach.

    you can't completely nullify his speed. I think a lot of people seem to think his speed is over rated but I remember Garcia saying in an interview after that fight that he was shocked at how fast he was and that he thought it was a bit of a myth.

    I don't think Khan is going to beat Mayweather anyway. I just want to see how Mayweather solves him

    I can't wait for the Floyd Sr smack talk

    Will benefit Khan if they underestimate him...but they never underestimate opponents.

    I mean when was the last time Floyd was in a real chess match??? All the guys who fought him have tired to KO him, none have even attempted to outbox him... Khan will from range and trust me he knows how to win rounds...

    Rule is if you sit back and try to outbox Khan big mistake.. he will take you to school and that's what he was doing since a kid.. only pressure and punchers trouble him Floyd is nether..lol

    If this fight goes 12 Khan wins imo

    Floyd will have to KO Khan to win..
