    You're giving Judah way too much credit for only winning like 3 rounds.

      He won four rounds, the first four. You expect me to not credit that? Who has won four rounds in a row being up 4 rounds to zero against money? No one...

        I wouldn't give neither a chance but I guess Khan Speed early would look good until Mayweather starts timing and countering him

        Khan has stamina issues as well, he really starts to slow down by the 4th or 5th Round and starts to get real Sloppy. I think Mayweather would stop Khan. Garcia would be interesting because I think people really underestimate Danny Garcia's Skills and Speed. Not As Slow as people think and he can box and he can counter punch.

          I'd go with Khan, as i think Khan's speed could cause Mayweather problems early on.
          Although i'd guess at Mayweather stopping Khan late on....I think there would be more competitive rounds in that fight than in a Mayweather Vs Garcia fight. I could see that as a shut-out.

            He didn't win the first four rounds or at least that is very much open for argument.

            He most certainly didn't dominate the first 4 rounds. Infact, he didn't dominate any round.

              Khan, Floyd doesn't have the kind of pop or throw enough combos to KO him.

                Judah could be trained by God Almighty himself he still wouldn't have a good defense and he still would be a polar opposite to Mayweather.
                No need to get upset. Judah was fighting well defensively at that point in his career. It meant little when faced with Khan's handspeed, I suspect that would be the case for all of his opponents. You can't defend against what you can't see coming.

                  It means what though? Judah and Khan are different fighters and Judah barely troubled Mayweather anyway.
                  It means that Mayweather hasnt been tested by a guy who is quicker than himself, other than Judah for the first four rounds, which he lost. He won the fight because Judah gassed. Watch the first four rounds again and you will see how frustrated Mayweather gets.

                  But yes, judah and khan are different, so its difficult to predict anything, but I believe that speed is the key to beat Mayweather. Make him the aggressor. Im not saying im 100 percent correct, but this is the way i see it, or believe it. Call it what you want.

                    I'm not upset.

                    Judah wasnt fighting well defensively, that is the thing. Judah's never fought well defensively unless he's fighting an unranked scrub or a fringe contender.

                    Judah does not have a good defense. Never has, never will. He is easy to hit.

                    Meaning the point attempting to be made is worthless.

                      He didn't lose the first four rounds though at all.

                      And I think Mayweather winning the fights due to Judah gassing is a naive outlook.
