Floyd wide open after every straight right lead, Khan's speed will expose that.

    Technically speaking Khan beat McCloskey and Salita both undefeated at the time. Yeh, so beating an undefeated fighter is not a true benchmark for a fighters capability or accomplishment. Khan has beaten some young good fighters (not undefeated) Maidana, Kotelnik and Malignaggi. Judah is not too young but he was still the the champ.

    Bradley is too timid to try risking his zero against Khan, throw that out. What undefeated fighter has Alexander ever beaten to warrant him as such a superior opponent to anyone on Khan's resume? He lost to Bradley, he got a generous gift decision against Kotelnik whom Khan outboxed every single round.

    Berto had a hard time dealing with Ortiz's skills, perhaps that could be Khan's first fight at 147.
    Against, Mayweahter said Khan won't be too easy to counter as he throws in fast buches and gets out of the way. It will take Mayweather some time to adjust and figure him out thats why I think the fight will be competitive.

    Khans fast but he rarely throws more than 3 punches at a time so Mayweather can easily stand off just out of range and catch Khan after his last shot.

    I'd say Mayweather by Mid/Late KO.

    Khan is one dimensional. When Floyd adjusts Khan won't.

    Let's be honest, there are no holes in Mayweather's game. Every once in a while someone lands a punch on him. It's the exception rather than the rule. Sometimes he reacts to very powerful punches or extreme aggression by backing straight up to the ropes, that's the only thing that might some day accidentally lead to a problematic situation, but Khan is not the one to exploit that tendency, and Floyd isn't consistently open to ANYTHING. Say what you will about whether he would beat Leonard or Hearns, but his defense and instincts DON'T HAVE HOLES, it would just be a matter of being physically small. He belongs with Pep and Sweet Pea, and his offense is probably better than any other defensive fighter unless you count Vitali (who is strangely really really hard to hit).

    I do think some day he might get knocked out, but Khan does not have what it takes to do it. Judah never won a big fight. Ever. Spinks beat him the first time.

    Khan has a far, far better chance of beating Mayweather than Ortiz, that much is obvious.

    Roach would have a tight gameplan for Khan, there'd be no wild flurries, the key would be to move in and out of range using the jab and finding Floyds body early on and throughout the fight, try and take as much out of him as possible.

    Judah looked good early on against Floyd being cagey, using the jab and landing good hard shots to the body, staying on the back foot and making Floyd miss. Khan can have success with the same strategy and his straight punches can be effective downstairs and up. I see Khan definitely causing PBF some problems in the first couple of rounds like Zab did, but if Mayweather adapts as well as he normally does he'll box his way to a UD.

    What about the gift that Khan got against Maidana?

    Marco had Pacquiao Jr. on ***** street holding a handbag and wearing high heels in the late stages of that fight...

    Khan will expose it just for Floyd to see his own flaw and adapt to fix it. Then Khan will become his 43rd victim.

    Well, Khan *barely* got by Maidana and refuses to give Marco a much deserved rematch.

    Why is that?
