    Khan is crap and Floyd is slowing down, good comedic value fight which I would never pay for.

    Khan hits harder than Judah? Seriously? Let me guess, you believe that because Khan has a stoppage over Judah?

    Khan does not have great footwork, and he does not use it. Arguably his biggest flaw.

    So because Khan has faster hands, he is the only boxer capable of beating Floyd to the punch? Cotto didn't have faster hands than Floyd, he beat him to the punch plenty.

    It's called timing. Something Khan will learn if he ever steps in to the ring with Mayweather, even a declining Mayweather.

    Khan would do good to avoid Mayweather. Unify against Garcia. Have one more bout at 140lbs, then go pick up the pieces at 147lbs.

    Khan won't fight at 140 again if he beats Garcia, he desperately wants to enter 147 with a fight against Mayweather. His team, right or wrong, feels he can beat Money and any boxer would risk a L for the purse that fight would generate.
    I think he has got progressively slower as he has got heavier but still enough hand speed to give Mayweather problems. Either way, as long as he puts on a show he can't lose as a loss against the best boxer of our generation is not going to set him back and will still raise his profile immensely in the US.

    Oh definitely, it's close to being a win-win situation against Mayweather for Khan. The only problem being, with all of Khan's advantages/positives going in to a match up like that, his flaws are the type of flaws that Mayweather feasts on. Balance, footwork, predictability, etc. Mayweather even in this declining stage could make him look very, very amateur. Which wouldn't really do his profile wonders.

    Although, if he lasts the 12 against Mayweather, and is competitive for a couple rounds, it would do him no harm whatsoever.

    As Roy Jones said Floyd stays unbeaten as long as he stays away from Khan, well after Khan rapes Garcia and makes his dad cry, Khan coming upto 147.

    Let's play..

    If Peterson accounts for Khan by making him fight inside,
    then Mayweather pitches a shut out.

    Khan didnt have capacity to adapt against Peterson, theres no way in hell
    he handles the versatility of Floyd.

    Khan might be quicker, but Floyd is more accurate with his shots,
    dont think Khan wants an accurate sharp shot on that chin either.

    Floyd fans can say what they want, fact is Floyd is aging and slowing down, Khan will show on July 14th his real hunger and what he been learning in this 5 month camp.

    Speed is a wonderful thing, it can make a aging great look old in the ring.

    Floyd will move back down to 147 to face Khan, there is no one else left, Cotto rematch is B.S no one wants to see that.

    I was gonna add the " :lol: " but didn't. It does look like Floyd may be planning on staying at 154 for a while though.

    Supposedly Kahn has been learning to sit down on his punches. He really needs this in his game.
