      Agree with this.^^^^^^^^^^

      Khan's speed will keep him in it, plus the fact that floyd isn't an aggressive brawler. As soon as floyd gets the timing down, he starts to slowly pick khan apart. Khan won't get this fight though as bradley is going to make it ugly.......and khan doesn't like ugly.

        Floyd would beat Amir but I voted 'Khan would dominate' for obvious reasons.

          Mayweather beats him in pretty one-sided fashion. Khan is not all that skilled for a world-class fighter. He is just speedy and athletic. His footwork, defense and ring IQ are light years below Mayweather's.

            Now this is a one sided fight, I like Khan but Mayweather walks through him easily. Even if Mayweather were in his late 30s, I still see him beating Khan. Khan has so much that he needs to work on.

              Mayweather would be unwise to run around against Khan, giving Khan space would be really giving him a chance. Floyd would be much better served smothering the life out of him, not to say Floyd should not change it up but on the inside is where Floyd has the huge advantages.

                It would be one sided. One of the most one sided fights ever. For Khan that is.

                Roach already knows the gameplan to beat Mayweather. If Oscar would've just jabbed the last couple of rounds he would've won easily. Khan has one of the best jabs in boxing. Khan has too much handspeed and the better footwork.

Roach's style is really tailored around effective aggression, Khan can do that well up to a point but having better defense would suit him more I think. Not saying he should get rid of Roach, i just think he should hire Whitaker as a co-trainer or just a tutor on the side or something. He could really do with some better movement and angles, especially if he's going up against Mayweather. Roach can't really improve his defense much further, even though it is much better than it used to be, it could still be improved.
                  Freddy's fighters can't fight on the inside..and they always seem off balance.

                  Kahn was falling in and swingin like a washer-woman in his last fight.

                    If Khan misses as many punches as he did against McCloskey, Mayweather will punish him with devastating counters that over the course of the fight will take it out of Khan, I'd say late stoppage or UD 12-0.

                      Too much handspeed for who?

                      Better footwork than who?

                      If The Roach had a gameplan to beat Floyd the fight would have been made last year...instead of Clottey.
