    Amir Khan has a better shot to beat Floyd than anyone else at 147

    I'm not saying he could win, but hear me out. The Mayweather shoulder roll is a great defense tactic, but only against guys who are either eye to eye with Floyd or shorter than him. Khan, at 5'10, could go right over it. Also, I believe Khan would be the fastest guy Floyd's fought in a long, long time. Maybe since he fought Zab in his prime. I think Floyd might still win, and possibly KO Khan. But of all the names(Bradley, Alexander, Garcia, Broner, etc.) this is the guy I think proves to be the biggest stylistic challenge. I don't think Khan is a better fighter than a lot of these guys, just more of a challenge for Mayweather. Let me know what you all think about this.

      Anyone who was knocked out by Prescott and Garcia and struggled against Peterson and an ancient Diaz DOES NOT BELONG IN THE SAME CONVERSATION AS MAYWEATHER, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          Well i agree that Khan has a better shot to beat floyd than bradley/alexander. But Garcia has earned this shot way more than Khan. Hes been underdog/doubted and everytime he shuts his oppponents out...too bad Garcia doesnt have a big following yet, he might but he'll have to KO guys left and right and his dad, Angel, would have to say some of the most outrageous things lmao

            Khan will probably take the first 2-3 rounds based off his speed and activity but then floyd will figure him out time him and turn on his cruise control, and maybe even KO him in the middle/late rounds.

                No he isn't. He's barely better than Diaz.

                  Khan has some skills to be sure, the problem is that with his weak chin most upper level fighters KO him.
