Would Khan do a better job against Floyd than Canelo was able to?

Considering how uncompetitive Alvarez was, it's not a stretch to think Khan could do better. And what exactly is your idea of doing better?

He'd win more rounds early on, until he gets timed and KO'd.

Obviously Canelo has the power advantage but power seems to be virtually useless against Mayweather. Khan's style of volume, speed, footwork could be more of a test for Floyd, providing Khan didn't get caught with too many heavy shots. Floyd does have decent power himself but it's not devastating one punch KO power so Khan might be able to take a few more risks, exchange more, land more and survive. However, he is a pattern fighter, he can be timed quite easily as Garcia showed. I couldn't see Khan winning much more than 4 early rounds against Floyd before Floyd began timing him to perfection. But overall he could prove to be one of Floyd's tougher opponents, purely because of the style match up and speed. Do you think he'd do better or worse than Canelo? Khan couldn't even last 5 rounds against Garcia and was rocked by Diaz. No competition what so ever. If that fight ever happens is because it is good business. A joke of a fight

khan will probably use his speed to get the first few rounds, after that, Floyd will adjust and put a clinic on him... Khan gonna get his ass whooped.:buttkick:

Nope. Floyd/Canelo mega event Floyd/Khan a joke. Just saying.

Canelo already did an amazigng job against Mayweather IMHO !! I think Khan will do about the same, but the outcome will be different if fight is held in UK

definitely, Khan wins maybe 3 rds before he inevitably gets KO'd late

floyd would walk him down and knock him out. khan would look like a complete amateur against floyd.

I voted Khan would do worse than Canelo. I don't think Khan would even come close to winning a single round. Mayweather is Waaaay out of Khan's class. Mayweather is not Prescott or Peterson.He is the best fighter in the world. Mayweather hits with more accuracy, timing and power than Prescott and he could easily take Khan out in the first round if he wanted to. I think Mayweather knocks Khan out in 3 rounds or less. The fight is a mismatch.

depends how you look at it. floyd is a slow starter and khan would come out fast throwing a high volume of fast punches from the first bell. as a result he would probably win some early rounds. however in that time floyd would read him, adapt and then go on to outclass him completely and knock him out. so he would win more rounds, but he wouldnt go the distance, some will claim he did great until he got caught and he just made a mistake or whatever while others will recognize there was no way he would ever go teh distance with floyd. then again he would be giving floyd some problems even if it would last very briefly.

In a way he would imo. He probably wouldn't last the distance, but he has the potential to make things interesting for three or four rounds with his handspeed. It would be a first for Floyd to fight someone faster than him, and I'm curious to see how he adjusts. I'm pretty sure he would time and KO Khan eventually, but it's still an intriguing matchup for me.

Considering how uncompetitive Alvarez was, it's not a stretch to think Khan could do better.

I think Khan would make it a more dramatic, competitive fight for as long as it lasts. His fast feet guarantee that. Mayweather's "genius" is his natural athletic advantage. He controls distance like a mongoose, repetitively causing his opponent to miss and fall out of position until it's safe for him to attack. Khan is also "dumb enough" to keep pressing in on Mayweather which is in fact the key to disrupting Floyd's passive aggressive methods. I wouldn't expect Khan to win however. He makes too many mistakes though Floyd's ability to make opponent's pay is generally overrated. He was sizing up Hatton for that check hook for rounds before he actually sent it home. Khan would make Mayweather look human. Very confident of that. 1:20 (Floyd vs those who are dumb enough to stay on the outside with him..)

I don't think so, but he might be able to win the first few rounds until Floyd adjusts and figures him out. you can practically say that about anyone vs mayweather. :trink26: I think it would look like the judah fight. Khan would start off fast, moving around, throwing combos. He might even sneak a couple debatable rounds b4 mayweather outclasses him later. It might be better style wise for khan more than canelo because Floyd doesn't press for an early ko, and favors outlasting and frustrating his opponents. If mayweathers hands weren't so brittle I'd put my money on Khan getting tko'd in the later rounds though whereas even b4 the Alvarez fight I never saw floyd knocking him out khan's speed will be an issue for maybe a round and a half because there isn't much iq or technique behind it and he's not very slick with it either. his biscuit chin seems worse after garcia so there's a good chance he gets laid out by a flush counter.

Khan doesn't win more than 3 rounds. I bet he would only win 1.. and that's after he goes balls to the wall after round 1 where he realizes he's in for a, short night.

i think kahn would give him a tougher fight FOR A WHILE but his chin is just too damn weak and floyd's right hand just too accurate. I see kahn's speed actually winning him 1 or 2 of the first 3 rounds or so but once floyd figures him out and starts timing him kahn's chin will let him down.

He'll absolutely get picked apart. Unless you haven't realised Khan doesn't seem to be attacking with volume like he did under Roach. Against Diaz he was picking one or two shots here and there. The Khan from Roaches Wild card Gym would give a much better fight but not the Khan from Virgil's gym. He seems to still be open for hooks and over hand rights whilst having decreased his volume. Agaisnt Mayweather IMO he would be completely picked apart and stopped with precision perfect hurtful timed shots whilst using his movement. Khan won't even trouble Mayweather with his shots/power.

You say Mayweather does not have one punch KO power but were talking Amir king con man. everyone has one punch KO power against him:boxing: yeah cuz maidana, judah ( who hurt garcia ) and lamont peterson were able to KO him. Mayweather doesnt knock him out, Khan makes it interesting for the first 3 - 5 rounds. once may uses his footwork, he UD's him.
