    Security Guard is probably a sturdier test than Shane "I LOST TO MORA, whom in turn lost to VERA" Mosley.

    What the **** you talking about? Khan would give Floyd all sorts of problems, Khan is bigger, faster, and has a good straight jab what would give Floyd hell also Khan would outwork Floyd with a higher workrate but maybe not as effective as Floyd yet.

    Khan still not the finished article but as time and fights pass, and if Khan beats Bradley this year, by next year Young Khan will be ready for anyone at 147, line em up baby.

    Khan has a good jab, don't get me wrong. But Floyd is ahead of him in every aspect of the game, EVERY ONE of them.

    I think by 2012 Khan will be reaching his peak and Floyd won't be the same fighter and won't have the legs anymore, also all this time out the ring out the ring don't help at this stage of Floyd's career.

    Khan will soon master his hand speed, that will show no respect to Floyd defense which relies on reaction/reflex that ability also does not improve with age.

    So a balance of Khan hand speed and timing being close to mastered and Floyd aging reflexes of defense and old legs.

    I feel Khan would shock Floyd's system of a fighter who relies on his defence and timing of countering being put in a shell by Khan's output and speed in 2012.

    Not saying you're wrong, but think about this: Zab's speed troubled Floyd and Oscar's jab won him a few rounds vs Floyd. Khan is really fast and has a good jab.

    Also as seen in the Oscar fight with a good jab and pressing Floyd backs up and goes into his shell and looks for his window, the key to press land something and move off, Khan hand speed and feet Khan press, land some and move.

    Floyd is used to mostly fighting fighters with slower hand speed than his so he can find windows to counter, look at Floyd vs Zab for the first few rounds speed will force Floyd to back up and go into shells, to bad Zab gased out after a few rounds, that could of been a close fight.

    probably morales if he wins over marquez. but more probably marquez 2 as a tune-up before fighting pacquiao. it will be another cycle of 2009-2010.

    Im a Big fan of khan and have followed his career from the beginning, and he will give floyd a fight. But there's a reason for why people say khan will be schooled, because it's true, style wise this fight is SO wrong for khan and eventhough i would like to see it i dont think he should take the fight because he has the potential of finishing his career with only 1 loss

    Cotto would be awesome but thats someone who can beat floyd, he has a great jab, I doubt that floyd would fight him though, although the dollars makes sense and Cotto is an excellent draw.

    Not Cintron or Berto. Floyd doesn't fight guys with absolutely no name. Even Bradley has a bigger name than those guys.

    It's ok for *****s for floyd to fight the guard rather than Pac!!:rofl

    It's even acceptable for *****s for floyd to duck Pac completely! they rather watch floyd getting a drug test!:lol:

    Are you serious? Floyd would never fight Cintron. He might get knocked the **** out. Cintron has power.

    Floyd is such a duck at this point, I think he'd even duck Khan. I know for sure he'd duck Cotto. He already ducked Cotto in 2008. Cotto brings too much heat.

    Mayweather would be willing to fight martinez im sure and would beat him too.
    Martinez also said that he will knock pacquiao out if they ever fought, and with mayweather it would be a good fight as he is a better boxer then pacquiao.
