    Mayweather can win on points but don't be surprised if Khan pulls the upset. If he actually takes the fight

    Let Khan beat Canelo, Guerrero or Brook first before having his name next to Floyd without people having a laugh at it.

    me and many others see this being much more comepetive than a pac v floyd fight. Would be a good fight. Khan is very good againist boxers. I'd give it 7-5 khan.

    Who did Guerrero or Brook beat to not also be a joke? If you are ok with those 2 ...how the hell is Khan not ok? Khan beat the guy that gave Floyd his closest fight in years.

    I think Floyd would beat Pacquiao by comfortable UD.

    why do you people exclude the fact of floyd not being a puncher anymore. His chin is only weak to those who can punch.

    Mayweather wins and its a 50/50 toss up whether it goes the distance or not. Khans got very very fast hands, other than that he got little to worry Mayweather with. nothing he hasnt seen before.

    If Floyd can suss out how to deal with them, and hes proven he can suss out his opponants many many times, then he would be in for a fairly easy night. And if he does suss him out hes guna time him at some point, Khan could rush on to a lovely timed shot and Floyd hits hard enough to put Khan on his ass.

    I didn't suggest Guerrero or Brook to fight Floyd, I suggested Khan to beat a boxer of this level before getting even close to a shot with an elite fighter. Khan is truely a joke when it comes to Floyd or Pac. It's almost like Wlad vs Briggs.

    You cannot outbox the master boxer. Floyd's is too experienced, too smart. Khan can talk the talk, saying he's just as smart... but when you see he's been knocked out, lost multiple times, it makes me question that.

    Floyd won't just go into a shell if he sees himself being outpointed. He will without a doubt start engaging. He's said it before and done it before. Watch Chop Chop Corley, Castillo, etc. And, if Mayweather does have to result to plan B (engaging), which I don't think he would, Khan would be in even more of a pickle.


    People think speed causes Mayweather frustration. It does, but nothing that will cause him to lose. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. After watching Floyd's fights, you can see a rhythm.

    Speed - he adjusts (ex: Khan)
    power- he adjusts (ex: Cotto)
    southpaw- some frustration, can adjust fine (ex: Ortiz)
    Speed + power- causes frustration, problems (ex: Shane Mosley)
    Speed + southpaw- causes more frustration, more problems (ex: Judah)
    Speed + power + southpaw- causes serious problems, could endanger him (ex: Pacquiao) Never fought a fighter with these attributes so this is hypothetical and based off previous trends.

    Overall, Khan doesn't show Mayweather anything he hasn't already seen before.

    This is why I say Andrade would have a great chance at beating him. He's fast, tall, rangy, a southpaw, and has decent power.
