    I could see Khan fading in the later rounds even if he has success early.

    Nahhh. (re the Hatton check hook) Floyd dragged Ricky up to 147 and had the ref helping him throughout the fight. All of which played a part in Ricky getting desperate and getting KOd.

    I wouldn't count on Mayweather beating Khan let alone knocking him out. There's a reason why he didn't fight him, it was a great stylistic match up that would have sold well. Floyd cherrypicked and card stacked his entire career to bolster the "eye test".. Just a massive ***** tbh... He likely would have beaten Khan but it would have been too much of a risk for him. Khan arguably beat Maidana clearer than Mayweather did (many of which had Maidana winning).

    How is a guy who beats people by outboxing them like Khan a stylistic nightmare for a a superior outboxer in PBF? Do you realize how dumb you sound? Add to that Khan is easily figured out can only fight one way can't fight on the inside is chinny and has lost to the best fighters he's faced time and time again and you have a recipe for disaster for Khan. You're just a wishful thinker who's reaching that's it.

    Khan speed blitzes him for 1 round. Floyd figures him out in round 2 and proceeds to whoop his ass

    Easy nights work

    Khan would have looked great for 3 rounds , 4 max

    He would just get beat up on from that point onwards

    No doubt the speed would have been a problem, but Khan had glass in his chin and once Floyd figured him out it would have been over.

    Floyd had brittle glass hands, they'd shatter off Khan's tempered glass chin.

    I have more fingers than you have IQ points.

    Where did I say Khan is a stylistic nightmare for Floyd?

    What is dumb is actually believing the hype manufactured fraud that is Floyd. Unbelievably stupid

    Sure Khan has some advantages notably speed but he is a dumb fighter whilst Mayweather is a very clever fighter. This fight is only going one way.

    Which prime khan are talking about? The one that Prescott knocked out, the khan that Gomez dropped, the khan that was all over the place against maidana, the khan that Peterson beat or the khan that Garcia dropped?

    Floyd would do to Khan what Crawford did but even better because Floyd has even better composure and poise.
