Interesting match-up.

Who wins?

Khan has never a faced boxer anywhere near the caliber of Taylor. Taylor is an underrated boxer and had underrated power too. After he won the belt from McGirt, Taylor started to sit down on his punches, he won 3 out of his 4 fights by way of knockout.

Unfortunately the Chavez fight ruined Taylor. But if that was Amir Khan fighting Taylor in 1990 instead of Chavez, Khan would get knocked out for sure. Khan does not have the power to literally destroy someone like Chavez did, and Taylor's speed and toughness would be too much. Also Khan doesn't fight well on the inside.

Taylor is alot more hittable than you guys think. Having said that, Taylor will probably prevail with better chin and hand speed.

You forgot to mention that Khan prefers to fight on the outside not on the inside, and Taylor can do both, and Khan is no Chavez.

If Khan had problems with Peterson, he will have even a tougher time with Taylor who can box and brawl.

i know what you are saying. i just want to mention taylor is a lot more hittable than most ppl think. sometimes he doesn't provide a lot of head movement so a lot more hittable than ppl claim here.
