I can't see Floyd fighting a young, prime, stylistically dangerous fighter like Khan. He already ducked Khan 3 times so if we follow the pattern he'll duck him again. He only got interested in the Pacquiao fight after Pac was literally knocked unconscious for 5 mins by Marquez. Mayweather will run from Khan for the remainder of his career, he'll never face him.

Been saying this for years: Floyd allows Khan some limited early success. Khan gets excited and tries to push the pace. Jr knocks Khan out. End of. It would make a good, safe exit for Floyd.
That probably would have been true under Roach. But there's no way Virgil Hunter would allow Khan to get so excited and reckless. With Virgil Hunter in Khan's corner, I just don't see Mayweather's tactics being very effective against Khan.

Please NO.
Floyd has to face Keith Thurman and beat a young prime welterweight for once. If he fights and beats Thurman that's the best finish he can do and will silence many of his critics who still think he's a cherrypicker.
I don't want to see Khan get this fight. No freakin way.
ODLH, Mosley, Cotto, Pacquiao...past prime ..that's the damn truth.
Khan is a much bigger threat to Floyd than Thurman. Floyd has beaten fighters like Thurman before, but has never faced a fighter like Khan before. Styles make fights.
Dont forget he already has a win against Canelo, a young prime super welterweight.
Canelo was a green junior middleweight and it was fought at a catchweight 152lbs.
Thurman is a strong welterweight and is pretty much reaching his prime.
Please NO.

Mayweather would easily beat Khan. Khan was KOed by Garcia and just barely beat Diaz in England. Can anybody imagine Mayweather getting KOed by Garcia or struggling to beat Diaz? Khan isn't in Mayweather's class. Thurman should get the fight because the same Diaz that gave Khan hell and knocked him down was KOed by Thurman in three one sided rounds. Then Thurman beat Guerrero by a bigger point spread than Mayweather beat Guerrero. Mayweather should fight the proven, undefeated Thurman instead of loser Khan who has yet to avenge any of his losses. Khan has become a cherry picker who only fights about every 9 months. He is fighting weak punching 140 pounder Algieri right after Algieri lost to Pacquiao by a score of 120 to 104. Big time cherry pick. Pacquiao should have fought someone better than Algieri but at least Algieri was undefeated when Pacquiao fought him.
They probably won't be saying that from last night onwards.
Paulie M who broke down Pac vs Floyd before it even happened, and everyone called him a hater
Still maintains Khan has the beating of Floyd
Khan can't beat Floyd, he Fades by the 5th Round
Mayweather stops Khan late. You gotta have more than SPEED and Pacquiao learned last night and with that Chin, some of those shots that Mayweather landed on Pacquiao would put Khan Lights Out
How can anyone today beat Floyd when you can't knock him out with one punch and if you do get through, his backup defensive is so good that it means you can't follow up with more clean hits.
Only Manny in his prime could have beaten Mayweather.
Khan has even a less of a chance than manny did against Floyd. The way he controlled mannys output was masterful.
The only true test to Floyd would be ggg.
