    Ortiz ain't gonna knock out Floyd you nutters. It's 0% likely to happen. Floyd's chin is very good and his defence even better.

    Great timing is the best thing against speed and Floyd has great timing and distance.

    Ortiz hasnt a chance v PBF. Ortiz makes way too many mistakes and errors and Floyd will make him look stupid. Floyd aint going to be open for ortiz's shots like maidana and Berto was.

    He does but has he faced anyone since Zab as fast as Khan?

    Zab used his speed really well bs Floyd for the first few rounds, Khan could do the same and Floyd being Floyd will let him take the early rounds thinking he will make up for it later on, I think that will be a mistake, Khan can keep up a high workrate.

    You need more than speed to beat a special fighter like Floyd.

    Just because Khan has quick hand's mean's ****, people are taking this win over Judah to new heights

    A high workrate for Khan would be a disaster. He should flurry, get out, make Floyd lead, repeat, and try to snatch a victory, assuming he can come through any rough patches that Floyd can still cause whilst 'going forward', and coming into the pocket rather than waiting for his opponent to come to him. I do believe if Floyds economic style isn't working for him he will try harder to win, as evidenced as Shane but helped by Mosleys poor fuel reserves.

    Khan is still sloppy enough that, if he does too much, Floyd will pick up on his patterns straight away and land crisp, accurate counters that do far worse to Khans equilibrium than Maidanas ponderous slugging.

    Regardless of gameplan, Floyd is gonna' set traps that you need to be durable to withstand. He's not a massive puncher, but when Floyd throws, he lands with a sting that easily dissuaded even hardened contenders. You become more wary to sustain assaults.

    This won't happen to Khan IMO. He'll try too hard, and that's why he'll lose. If he wants to win, he should be economic, and therefore shut Floyd down, who punches sparingly as of late.

    Of course, Khans punches might not bother Floyd much. He might choose to intelligently walk Khan down like he did Mosley. Floyd is fairly strong still at 147, if he wants to delve into his bag of tricks to bully Khan and pepper him combos then he will.

    I just see much more chance for Floyd winning than Khan. Especially having not seen Amir at 147 yet, and still questions to be asked of his effectiveness against a certain calibre of opponent.

    I will say this: I would be more confident of him pulling it off than Ortiz.

    Some very good points there :good

    I think we need to also see how Khan's body handles the move upto 147, I think Khan will do better all round up there, we should even see a bit more pop from him, let's see.

    I think the workrate point is a very good one, vs Zab we saw Khan do a lot more feints and more picked shots than usual, he needs to become more effective with the work rate but still keep it at a good rate to offset and control the tempo of the fight.

    Really?? I think Khan gasses far to easily, as much as anything from the 8th, its one thing I notice as a ***** in his armour.
