    How do you see this fighting playing out?
    can Khan's hand speed and skills trouble Mayweather ..
    I can't see Khan Knocking out Mayweather, For him to win he will have to beat the Master at his own game 'Boxing'
    Does Mayweather Still have enough in the tank to dominate a hungry young fighter like Khan? who I think is more skillful than Ortiz.

    If Mayweather ages in that ring it will look like Oscar vs Whitaker in my opinion but with Floyd winning.

    not very. khan would look ok early as he boxes sensibly then by round 5 or 6 goes for a gamble and gets countered pegging him back and eventually stopped as he cannot recover. maybe not but thats how i see it panning out.

    It is all about Floyd, if he slows down too much Khan would take him. Would love to see him take this fight if they can't agree with Pac.

    i think school would be back in session. the teacher mayweather and the student kahn. i see kahn as speedy with some power but not skilled fighter. hes got a good height and reach and hes fast. i think hes a complete fighter, just i dont think he is as good as mayweather.id like to see the fight in kahn hometown only though.

    It would be easy work for Floyd.

    Not very competitive. I expect Khan to win 2 rounds at most.

    You have to be agressive with a good jab to trouble Mayweather, and Khan doesn't do agression well. When he is aggressive he gets caught with punches coming in. His chin isn't crystal, but it is questionable and against Floyd, that's a recipe for disaster.

    Khan's only chance is to outbox Mayweather, and that is a VERY tall task, especially without a better than average chin.

    Take a look at Khan's resume. The talent and skill level of his opposition have done nothing to prepare him for the likes of a Mayweather

    floyd will pressure him, khan will be best on the outside and floyd knows that, plus last 2 fights floyd has been coming forward a lot. Khan dont handle pressure and the inside well, floyd may stop him late.

    Khan will be competitive for 4-5 rounds max.
    After that, it's all Mayweather.

    How the **** was Leon's comment racist? :huh
