    I'd love to see this fight, I think he's got the style if he boxes on the back foot as Mayweather's feet have slowed down now. Throw 4-5 punch combinations and keep up a high work rate and he can win on judges scorecards on activity even if he misses 60-70% of his punches.
    you want a good measuring stick for Khan and Floyd? look at how great Khan boxed Maidana (before he got caught), and move forward to how well Morales boxed Maidana. See how a veteran like Morales only needed to side step and adjust to Maidana in order to counter him. Khan circles the outside and jumps in and out, and although he has blinding speed, seems to be more on a checker board then a chess board at times. Floyd wouldnt need his feet much, he would stand his ground and make it a game of inches. Khan would be in the dark in that fight.

      Well I think that version of Judah was just as fast as Khan, but IMO I dont c any style givn floyd problems, I think his ring IQ is just soo damn good that he can make the adjustments on a fly in which he turns the boxing match into a chess match so his opponet has to adjust to his adjustment, thats what makes Floyd so great.

        Faster hands, you'll see who's faster when Mayweather continuously beats Amir to the punch. Faster feet, does Amir really have fast feet? Maidana didn't seem to bothers with finding him. So what if he's bigger in dimensions, so was Corrales. More active, I give Amir that, but Marquez was more active then a almost 2 year law off Mayweather and you see what happen, and if anyone says Marqez was not a true welterweight, well neither is Amir Khan so I don't want to hear that as an accuse when he loses. Amir Khan has a zero chance of winning. 0.000% chance, Mayweather is a future Hall of famer and a Legend in this sport, Amir Khan just barely got by Maidana who was getting schooled by an old Morales.

          not a chance. khan style is very amateurish, circle and ambush with arm punches, he's a one trick pony. it's a style that looks good against short, cherry picked fighters he can pounce on but against versatile boxers like mayweather? hell no, he gets exposed pretty fast. even a shot version of floyd would toy with him. now, if amir changed trainers to up his game, it could be competitive. i just don't see him going very far with roach and that style unless his opponents are carefully picked and made to order.

            i think its ridiculous that khan wants to fight mayweather and yeah khan has no chance against floyd, but i saw you call khan a paki in one of the threads about him as well dont bullshit me either or try to deny it you know you did

              amir's just not a guy who's name you can throw in with a fmj. look, i personally dislike floyd, he slept with my father, but in spite of that there is only one fighter out there for him to possibly give him a blemish, pac.

              these other guys, no hopers.

              2012, also means nothing as to the outcome of this fight, fmj always beats this kid.
