    There's an ever so slight difference between Paulie and Floyd :D

    Also, another way of looking at it, is, the higher your workrate, the more counterpunching opportunities you're going to give to a masterful technician such as Floyd.

    Say Floyd and Khan fight next year... would you be willing to put big money down on a Khan win?, I mean you seem pretty confident :think

    Khan has longer reach than Mayweather, so mayweather won't counter easily.

    Amir's arm length is only 24.5

    Floyd's arm length is 26

    So he walks him down and leads, if he can walk down Mosley and Ortiz, he can walk down Amir, who's around Floyds size.

    Khan has a chance don't get me wrong, (can't belive I'm saying that:huh) but he'd need to fight perfectly, and have a gameplan beyond my comprehension.

    Floyd pot shots and UD's him, or he walks forward with a high guard, and stops him in 10.

    floyd cuts every opponents work rate almost in half. Everyone of them. This is not by luck. You can't just shoot punches at mayweather. Nobody does. Even brave fighters that are willing to give and take.

    I will say one thing though... if Floyd decides to sit back and counter/potshot Khan, he probably still wins, but would make the fight a LOT closer than it needs to be. Khan excels in the type of fights where his opponents give him lots of space and time to think.

    Floyd would be better applying smart pressure and walking Khan down if they do fight.

    Floyd is going to cut off the ring walk Khan down and beat the living **** out of him. Khan is one of the worst inside fighters. Fredy reminds him every round to stay on the outside Mayweather will not allow that.

    I was thinking the same thing. Floyd will be 38 by then...he will have slowed down and been a C+ fighter. Amir BETTER have beat him in 3 years, ha!

    After 2 or maybe 3 good rounds, Khan loses the rest of the round, getting outclassed, and possibly stopped by the later rounds.

    Floyd takes sloppy Khan to school and stops him late. Khan is so overrated.
