    Easier said then done, Khan is faster than Floyd, if Khan misses that jab do you know how fast he can land that right?

    Love to see in 12 months time near 35 Floyd ducking and sliping a young fast Khan's shots, not happening.

    Speed doesn't win a bout though...of course it helps and is a great advantage over certain opponents. But Khan at this point or even if/when he comes out on top at 140lbs will not be able to outbox Mayweather...unless Mayweather drastically declines over the next year.

    No course not.

    I'm not even a massive Khan Fan. Boxing is a sport where differant styles pose differant threats to differant fighters.

    Now I pick Maidana to beat Khan. I'd pick Bradley to beat Maidana.

    I'd pick Khan to beat Bradley.

    On another note. I'd pick cotto to beat Khan, Mayweather to beat cotto. Yet i believe khan can beat mayweather.

    Maywether is amazing at what he does, yet he can be outworked the same way a young de la hoya outworked Whitaker by firing of the jab. Whitikar was the better boxer. But De la hoya outworked him.

    All Khan has is speed. Mayweather would pick him apart and probably knock him out.

    Khan is actually growing on me...and yes styles do make fights. But with Khan's style as of his last bout...I don't see anything that can trouble Mayweather enough to make the bout competitive. Ofcourse Khan has good speed, good movement, and what looks to be a potential good/great jab...but like I've said before, Mayweather will take away Khan's greatest weapon and punish him with it.

    I agree he has the style to beat Money but Money will knock him out cause of his glass chin, Money is too smart and accurate to beat him.

    Why are you worried about a potential Mayweather-Khan fight then? He won't ever get a shot at Floyd if he gets KO'd by Maidana.

    We must be struggling here at ESB if we are starting Khan/PBF
    threads all over the place.

    Khan couldnt even beat Floyd in his dreams.

    These guys don't understand that boxing is not just about speed anyway. Sure Khan has speed, but his stance is all wrong for Floyd, and is boxing IQ is not up to par.

    And like you said, his chin is garbage, and the Mosley fight showed us that Floyd is an underrated puncher.

    I agree speed isn't everything it takes more especially when considering PBF as an opponent. I think Khan is still young and still learning and will get better but he needs to refine his defense because he has a suspect chin.

    He could have stopped shane if he went for it.

    We all learnt that floyd can take a damn good shot aswel and come back to win the round.
