So how does Mayweather deal with this?

hasnt Khans losses proven this fight to be uninteresting? Who in the world would like to see Khan instead of Manny vs Floyd?

he puts his guard up high and walks khan down, punching when khan punches and manoeuvring himself into mid-close range where he has the advantage. i think khan will look good for the first four rounds or so and then mayweather will begin to undress him and break him down. mayweather ud.

I think Amir Khan can give Floyd Mayweather a lot of problems with his speed, combinations & movement but Floyd has been doing this a long time and I think he would time Amir Khan while possibly getting the KO. Khan's chin is still his biggest weakness.

Khan is hittable nobody is disputing that but the thing is mayweather is not a puncher, what if khan can take those 10 punches a round from mayweather like he did alexander's? Mayweather would have to walk khan down to beat him IMO. Yeah he would have to fight like Broner.

With all respect, Floyd is not Alexander and he definitely isn't Collazo.

It'll be interesting to see how floyd gets out of the corner Pac and Khan have him in, if he beats a peak khan I don't think he has much else to prove and will retire, I don't think he will fight them both, But I see khan eager to jump all over floyd early and burn him self out and take a hammering of counters in the late rounds and take the win

By running. Away from the fight or during the fight.

As a person who dislikes Floyd and wants him to fight the best, I think khan supporters and Floyd haters are reaching here... There's no way Floyd takes those kinds of hits from khan in a fight Thing is I saw the fight live and this YouTube video makes khan look faster. He was actually a bit sloppy. Khan didn't beat Alexander, Alexander beat himself. Kinda like what canelo did, he never gave himself a chance against Floyd with that weak ass game plan. alexander got sloppy and couldn't adapt. Easy fight for anyone with speed I'm really not looking forward to this fight if it happens because it's another way for Floyd supporters to suggest he's the best when he beats khan, a B class fighter at best. Thing is Floyd is fighting in a very weak era where in both 147 and 154, there aren't any true threats to him And the threats that were there, he's always seem to find a way to make it work to his advantage, avoiding dangerous opponents in their prime, avoiding them entirely, hyping up mediocre fighters like Ortiz, ghost, maidana and even canelo who's an idiot for thinking he can outbox Floyd and so on. Anyways to answer op yea Floyd adapts, makes khan back down, fights him on the inside, khans boxing speed is not there and Floyd wins via 12 round decision. Khan *****es wants rematch goes home and realizes what a chump he is... Only way to beat Floyd is to outbox him but really, in this era who does that? No one, other way is to flood him with punches, non stop. Someone who will throw over 100 punches a round, make Floyd ball up in his shell, and who WONT tire in the later rounds... Who do we know can do this? Manny, which is why Floyd has waited so long to fight him, which is why Floyd will continue to avoid that fight until he sees pac truly gone...

We're all entitled to our opinion, but I don't see how people think he'd have problems with Khan when he can't fight inside, and can't fight while he's backed up. Those are such exploitable flaws to a fighter like Mayweather. If anyone has doubts watch the Peterson fight. He can't fight on the inside and doesn't fight while he's getting pushed back. Floyd can back him up, make him fight inside, use his dirty tactics to establish control of Khans body, rinse repeat to a UD and there's nothing Khan can do about it lacking those parts of the game in his skillset.

most likely by not fighting him

Ya'll are getting Berto'd. Khan shows up with a bit more glamour muscles and now he's Tommy Hearns :lol1:

ALWAYS FIND IT FUNNY WHEN PEOPLE TRY TO COMPARE SO AND SO AGAINST AND OK FIGHTER AND ACT LIKE HE CAN DO THE SAME VS FLOYD. hED PROB WALK DOWN KHAN AND GO TO HIS BODY ALOT, KHANS D IS WAY BETTER THAN WITH ROACH BUT HE STILL LEAVES HIMSELF OPEN ALOT All caps now? that's one way to stress your point, another is to just zipped it.

Khan has no inside game. That's a hugely exploitable flaw in his game and he's not really a counter puncher off the back foot. If they fight no way Floyd doesn't back him and take advantage of that.

Khan is no Pacquiao. He hasn't reached that legendary elite status yet. Meaning all these intangibles which all the legendary elites have mastered at full effect: feints, distance control(inch by inch), timing, angles, ability to deliver massive shot counters against jabs and a lot more. Khan haven't mastered this yet, not to mention whether he admit it or not, his chin isn't really good enough to take hard shots. His greatest asset is his speed; but without mastering those intangibles above, it's only a matter of time before an elite can figure out the proper timing and adjustment to it; and then what does he do afterwards then. What he is doing there is, he's hurrying his punches too much; that it loses value or control, strength and accuracy. I also think his punches aren't hard enough to worry floyd as well. There is nothing tricky about khan on elite level beside his speed. I think people will find the fight one-sided for floyd and people will just moan for giving them another friggin' mismatch afterwards.

This fight needs to happen but if I had to bet on someone, I'd put my money on Floyd. I just think it will be interesting if Mayweather's shoulder roll can deflect Khan's super fast hands. You don't know till it happens!

Mayweather is aged, and I think khan with his speed, skill, youth and size would be too much for floyd at this stage of his career

All he has to do is step back. Let me ask you this: Have you ever seen anyone land a combination on Mayweather? Ever? Pacquiao's straight left and right hook are the threat against Floyd. If you think Khan has a better shot against Floyd than Pac, you don't know **** about boxing. They are paying the same odds to beat Floyd.

What adaptations will he make? Will be the fastest fighter he'd come up against (faster than Zab), and he hasn't fought a fast guy in years. Mayweather has some of the best eyes and reflexes in boxing, they will be severely tested. I think he'd have to be the aggressor and his hopes will live or die with his left hook. Floyd will continue to duck any fighter with great speed and find another slow Latin fighter for May.

Devon Alexander is a competely different ball game to Mayweather. I agree he poses Floyd problems but not because he dominated Alexander. Alexander is a perfect style match up got Khan, much like Collazo, Judah, Kotelnik, Pauli, guys who sit on the outside and box but aren't actually good counter punchers (Collazo the exception but he was boaderline shot). We've seen Alexander thoroughly outboxed by Kotelnik. They are glaring holes in his game that Khan was going to obviously exploit. Floyd's a whole different ball game because he is a good counter puncher, probably the best in the game if not then one of the best. High IQ, he has many more aspects to his game and much less holes than all of those. Also has a good defense, many of those don't.

He'll have to up his workratecand pressure khan or trade power shots of he wants to win convincingly. If he fights his normal way khan might steal a decision with those combos, they may miss a lot and khan will get countered with clean shots but he'll land a few and those flurries catch the judges eye.
