    Its not Amirs time just yet Floyd will beat Pacio maybe give Ortiz a return and maybe retire , i dont think Amir is on the same level as Floyd he would take him apart in 5/6 rounds.:patsch

    Based on what?

    How do you think Floyd would beat Amir? What tactics would you say would be best to employ?

    Same question for Pacquiou?

    Making a statement is fine. Let's see some reasoning.

    Khan hasn't got very good balance and falls in behind his flurried, counter puncher the level of floyd would have a field day, if khan can improve these flaws he has a shot

    No tactics needed one is on a different plane. One has been KO'D by Prescott and in the fight of his life with Maidana. You do the math

    "Tactics? Dont need any, khan is so predictable and stupid, the man comes straight ahead. He's tailor-made for me. He's gonna get hurt."

    It was interesting to hear Khan talk about the importance of lateral movement last night when he is one of the worst elite-ish level fighters out there for lateral movement.

    Khan's big flaw is his lack of head movement and lack of angles, he's straight in and out all the time.

    There was a beautiful moment last night when Ortiz appeared to be well in range, stepped forward with a jab and all of a sudden found himself out of range, missing by miles and eating a right hand straight down the pipe.

    I can't see Khan avoiding that kind of scenario. His speed will make it more difficult for Floyd and he may well have success early on, but once he starts to tire Floyd will be able to use his lack of lateral movement to maneuver him into position and use his total lack of defence to land at will.

    Apart from Pac and Martinez, i think Khan has the higest chance of beating Floyd

    If Amir waits another year or so, Floyd will probably be more hittable, he got more often than I expected last night by Ortiz (who I gave no real chance in this fight)...whether that was because of ring rust or Floyd ageing...im not sure yet...still at the moment, even with Roach in his corner (who could potentially give Khan the best possible gameplan to beat Floyd) Khan has no real chance at all in this fight. If and when Floyds reactions slow down some more...he might have a slim chance, though the gulf in intelligence and skill is insurmountable for Khan presently...he would more than likely, be out thought, and out boxed in every round.
