    I think Floyd tags Khan all night.

    The way Khan throws combos, where he surges forward, leaving himself open to Floyd's sneaky straights, is what will happen.

    Unless Khan develops amazing footwork and more effective ring cutting skills, then maybe he has a chance.

      Khan isnt ready for Floyd and will probably never be at his level.

          Of course he's hard to hit, but someone with fast hands could get to him. That why he avoids Pacquiao.

          I think Amir Khan looked better than Floyd did on Saturday night in his past few fights, and he'd beat Floyd if they fought right now.
          I agree! amir has way faster hands than ortiz and he throws in combinations!
          Amir has the style to trouble floyd no doubt in my mind!

            Both Khan and Pacquiao beat Mayweather, that's why he won't fight them.

              I agree with all of these.

              Khan is a very good athlete and has a lot of flash IMO, but it takes more than that to beat Mayweather.

                This reminds me of one of those threads where people said Hatton would beat Floyd. IMO Khan is way too open to NOT GET countered when he attacks Mayweather. Khan has fast hands but is not as heavy a hitter as Ortiz and I really can't see anything but a Mayweather win. BTW I am a Khan fan but am realistic. The only fighter out there that can trouble Mayweather is Manny.

                  I wish I shared your optimism about Khan beating Floyd. I think if anything happens,, Floyd has fits with Khans speed for the opening couple of rounds but then times him perfectly when he comes lunging in and he rocks Khan and the fight changes direction to either Floyd stopping him or beating him over 12.

                  Manny is about the only danger i see to Floyd unless he decides to fight Sergio and until mother nature catches up with all of his reflexes then i don't even see Manny beating him.

                    Hahhahaha, don't get me wrong, mayweather is a ****y git and I'd love to see him KO'd, but putting Khan in there with him? Khan has fought nothing but cans, he's not even in a league to take on floydy. Khan's chin would let him down even before he entered the ring, ask Bredis Prescott.

                      The most sensible reply to a bait thread.
