Which Top-10 Welters Would Khan Beat?

Make your picks and provide your reasons! :bbb

 

Champion. Floyd: Just no. The beating would resemble Corrales, but instead of us feeling bad, we'd think it was hilarious. And it would be over much quicker. Multiple knockdowns, Khan keeps getting up but never recovers. Khan says he had trouble making weight and moves up to 154 to repeat the process.

1. Manny: No. Think Algieri with less toughness. Khan is out the cage from the opening bell, too. This has "Manny is back!!! Did you see that KO!!! Floyd is ducking the rematch!!!!" written all over it.

2. Timmeh: The only question here is whether Bradley can knock him out. Timmeh will take anything Khan dishes out and swing those patented pillowbombs back at him. Bradley gets inside, works the body, and comes over the top, hurting Khan enough times to clearly win rounds.

3. JMM: If you liked KTFO6, tune in for this massacre. This would probably be a really nice fight while it lasted. Khan would run in with his flurries, and JMM would try to punch with him. I can't see Khan having success for more than a few rounds.

4. Special K: This seems like it has to happen sooner or later. Of course, we thought that about Bradley at 140 but Khan has a way of not doing what he's supposed to, so hey. Has the potential to be a real boxer-puncher, textbook sort of match. I just think with Brook's size, Khan would have to walk through some heavy counters to get past that jab. Brook lands the jab, Khan makes a mistake trying to get past it, and Brook puts him down with a straight right over the jab. All downhill from there for Khan.

5. The Thurminator: Thurman by brutal domination. He's a better boxer, a better puncher, and would be absolutely chomping at the bit to get in there with a victim like Khan. Thurman by brutal, Prescott-esque KO. One-time. Khan does not get up.

6. Porter: Khan is actually a better boxer than Porter (and I mean that in the technical sense, not just speed), but Porter is a physical beast. There is literally no way Khan keeps Porter off of him. Porter ragdolls him and runs him over. Similar to the Alexander fight, but since Khan can't take a punch it will be shorter. So...similar to the Malignaggi fight. But since Khan can't take a punch it will be shorter. So...Porter wins inside 3.

7. Guerrero: Good pick 'em fight. If Guerrero brings the mauling strategy from the Berto fight and the end of the Thurman fight, he wins a Peterson type of fight. If Guerrero comes in looking to clip Khan with a counter like he did with Floyd and Thurman, Khan probably picks him apart over 12...unless Guerrero does clip him. If Khan hurts Guerrero or opens a cut, he needs to not get dumb and try to stop Guerrero, because that won't happen and isn't worth the risk.

8. Khan: I place him here because wins over Collazo and Alexander don't impress me very much.

9. Alexander: We already saw this and a rematch would be no different. His best wins are Maidana and JSK, and he lost to Khan, Porter, and Bradley. Not a good or interesting fighter.

10. Maidana: Best wins are Broner, Josesito, and JSK...lost to Floyd and Alexander. I do think his actual ranking is higher and that he would beat Khan and Alexander in rematches. I'd give him a near even chance against any of the other ranked guys besides Floyd. To beat Khan, all he would have to change from the first fight is that body shot. That punch crippled him for the duration of the fight and sapped his energy. He needs to avoid that.
********************************************************
(Khan belongs in this group, and he would probably win more than he lost.)

11. JSK: Heavily favor Khan. I don't really think JSK even has much of a puncher's chance, he's too worn down at this point.
12. Josesito: Khan SHOULD win, but Lopez is able to take shots to land shots, and he's a hard enough puncher to get Khan out of there if he catches him.
13. Collazo: Already seen it, nothing changes.
14. Ortiz: Ortiz probably quits somehow, but his power would be a big problem for Khan.
15. Berto: I favor Khan, but if he can crack Josesito out of nowhere like that, it can happen to Khan.
16. Rios: Khan SHOULD win pretty easily, but Rios would definitely be in top shape for that fight and a KO punch could happen.
17. Provodnikov: There is literally no way Khan survives 12 rounds.
18. Chaves: Khan SHOULD win, but Chaves is a dangerous counterpuncher....
19. Broner: I would favor Khan, but Broner can land out of nowhere.
20. Paulie: Already seen it, nothing changes.
21. Alvarado: Khan by massacre.
22. Bundu: Khan shutout.
23. Zaveck: Khan shutout.
??. Algieri: On paper this should be a boring, easy fight for Khan. But Algieri has those weird rocks and avocados and stuff. So there's a chance. Plus we've been promised that there will be no cage this time!
??. Vargas: We'll see when he fights Bradley, but I don't think Vargas is much of a threat to anyone, especially at 147.

(These guys don't fight at 147, but they probably will in the near future and would have to enter the rankings above Khan once they have a welterweight win

Garcia: Khan doesn't go 12 without getting caught by one of those crispy bombs.
Matthysse: This would be brutal. Matthysse wins, but not as easily as he should. Matthysse has a problem where he tries to box guys who are kind of tough to figure out. Maybe he's over it, but even if not, he figures Khan out early and bombs him out.
Peterson: He beat Khan already, the point deductions were legit, neither knockdown was clean, and he has a little girly-man voice so I have no problem believing he needed TRT. Khan doesn't like pressure and volume. Unless Peterson tries to pretend he's Floyd, this should be an easy repeat.

In the next year or so, Khan, Alexander, Floyd, Manny, and JMM will exit the rankings. They will be replaced by some combination of Garcia, Rios, Provodnikov, Peterson, Matthysse, Broner, and Crawford.

I think if Khan is going to have a future as a top 10 fighter, he'll need to go back to 140. But he could make some entertaining fights against #11-#20 type guys.

 

Shocking that Brook has the lowest number of votes so far. Brook is a good fighter and i think he would beat Khan but I mean come on...
