I disagree with a lot of people I think Khan does have a chance of beating Floyd. Lets say out of 10 fights between them Khan wins 2 of them. I think it's that kind of chance.
I think only 2 types of boxers beat Floyd - fast and/or skillful ones who can outbox him (peak Pacquiao was possibly one, hence why he didnt get the chance), and power punchers who can land a freak lucky punch (yes it could happen, Mosley tagged him pretty good). Floyd is slower now and Khan is very fast. Lets not forget Khan would NOT be getting this chance if his recent record was better - because then Floyd would see him as a real threat. Khan's apparent fragility is a strength here.
I will repeat what I said in a thread before - I have NEVER seen Khan outboxed over the first 6 rounds of a fight (ignoring knockdowns) so why not? Yes I think Floyd is the better boxer and should win, but I do think Amir has a chance.
Khan didn't get KOed by Maidana, and he took some big shots during that fight. You never know maybe he will survive the Floyd fight too...
