Still, 12-0 is impressive. Alexander has fast hands, and they were completely negated by Khan's speed.
I think one thing people have to factor in is that it's not the same Mayweather, his output has declined, his power has declined, he's getting hit by slow fighters, his movement looks rusty.
I don't think it's a sure thing at all.
Spot on, man. He's never been more hittable. Khan would definitely have some success.
I thought there were plenty of chances there last night, but Alexander isn't good enough to take advantage of them. He did sometimes, but not often enough. He's not a good counter puncher, and I knew as much going in. His only chance was to take the fight to Khan.
Mayweather will take advantage of those opportunities. I think Brook would take advantage of those opportunities.

Mayweather stops him.
It will be a boxing match and Mayweather's timing and accuracy will win out. Straight right and left hook are the two punches Khan is open to and they happen to be Mayweather's best punches.
Floyd picks him apart.
Khan's not on his level and beating Alexander who has been outboxed before by lesser fighters does not make him so.
It's a mismatch.Exactly nothings changed Con is still a chinless bum
I thought Khan is showing more discipline with every fight. He jumped in a couple of times last night, but it was rare, rather than the norm it used to be.
That should leave fewer counter-punching opportunities for Mayweather. He's also managed to bring his last two opponents onto the front-foot, which opens a stylistic quandary for Floyd who prefers to be on the backfoot. Also, when they got into a clinch, it was Khan who did the better work.
Don't get me wrong, money would still be on FMJ but I think Khan has progressed as an all round fighter under Hunter.

Last night after watching Khan fight live for the 2nd time year; I think Floyd KO's him; Khan got the benefit of a lot of punches that didn't land. The crowd went crazy whenever he threw flurry. He showed nothing to me on a changed fighter he looked more impressive vs Collazo than he did vs Alexander. Devon basically followed him around the ring and never threw the left uppercut which was opened all night.
Last night shouldn't change anyone's minds about Mayweather/Khan. What exactly did we see that we didn't know?
Mayweather's age and increasing defensiveness might cost him a few rounds against Khan's speed and combinations. It would be a fight where Mayweather would land the better punches, but Khan's would look good enough to possibly sneak it. Depends on the rate of Mayweather's continued descent.

I've always felt that a fighter with Khan's physical attributes would give Floyd problems, and maybe now he's catching Floyd at the right time. Though it might not be smart, I would like to see Khan get aggressive on Mayweather at times. He should work on cutting off the ring and in-fighting for that training camp.
IDK who wins. When was the last time Floyd fought someone with Khan's style/attributes?
Floyd picks him apart.

It's a mismatch.
If Kahn kept his distance, and went for broke when he had to....it's not rocket science in that he might have the size/physical attributes that may trouble Floyd badly.
But this assuming he's not going to walk into counters that end up either putting him on his ass or discouraging him outright.
He'd have to let his hands go, and stifle floyd with rangy attacks.

You have to favor Floyd on paper, he has achieved too much not to give him the benefit. But, it's clear Khan is a very live underdog and now a credible pick to win.
