How can you say Khan won more convincingly when he was rocked and holding on for dear life in the late rounds? And what happend in other 9 rounds?? Didn't you see how much Mayweather ran in first Maidana fight?

There's not a single chance in 100. Khan is the definition of a one dimensional fighter flurry reset/flurry reset/flurry reset, and I'm being generous by not cataloging the long list of his other flaws. Mayweather's MO is to find out what his opponent does well and take that away from them. He can step out pull counter, shell up dip under smother then beat him on the inside, shell up walk him down, high guard feint-draw leads pull counter and so on and so on. Exactly. It wouldn't take Floyd long at all to start timing Khan. Don't forget that Khan's defense is poor, and he has no inside game.

if he gets smarter yes, he can imo. he has speed to trouble floyd, but that alone won't do much. That's the problem Khan is not smart enough. I'm a huge Khan fan, was never a fan of Maidana but I slowly became a fan of his love his grit, relentless pressure. The guys pure grimy, a typical Argentine hard man(and I mean it as a compliment) back to the point Khan in no shape or form would be able to do this and his boxing skills alone won't help against a guy as smart as Mayweather.

Amir Khan has bad footwork. He's a guy that fights in spurts. When he throws he plants his feet. He's good at putting combinations together but I don't think he has the footwork to catch Floyd. Maidana is more of a pressure fighter. Amir Khan is not. Floyd can fight in the pocket or while he's moving around going forwards or going backwards. I think it's a hard fight for Khan. But Floyd these days likes to lay on the ropes too much so I can see those opportunities open up for Khan to engage. I pick Mayweather for the UD Win. Amir Khan vs. Maidana 2 would be a good fight. Khan is still the same fighter he was back then, Maidana with Robert Garcia is not. I'd like to see that one.

What Do you think guys? And I think Amir khan won in better style against Maidana than Mayweather won first time against Maidana, second time Mayweather won easily. What do you think, can Amir khan give tough time to Mayweather more than Maidana? Define what you mean by "tough"? Because Khan will not be as physical as Maidana and won't push Mayweather back with strength and size. What Khan possesses is skill and fluid combination punching. I always felt the Roach version of Khan was perfect for a Mayweather fight and would give May hell all night long. Now, if Khan tries to box on the outside and think before he throws punches, it would still be a hard fight but Mayweather wins a lot easily. Khan has to be the aggressor and the combination puncher he once was. Hunter's more thoughtful fighter does well against guys like Alexander and probably Brook but not against Mayweather.

No, Floyd would be in cruise control, no danger whatsoever after a few rounds of getting used to his speed.

He maybe can, but not in the same fashion as Maidana did. If Khan can control distance with a stiff jab and straight right hand he has a chance, I just don't see it. And as it was already mentioned Khan's Achilles heel is his chin.

styles make fight but that chin of his will ruin any decent plans haha
