    Just rewatched Khan - Maidana

    What a fight!.... if Khan can maintain a performance like the first half of the fight then he would be a big challenger against Floyd.

    His amazing hand speed and conversely his vulnerability to the uppercut and overhand shots make his fights very exciting!

    Though i believe that if a ref who allows more fighting on the inside was in charge (like Steve Smogger) then it would very likely have been a different decision.

    Floyd has decent power but doesn't hit as hard as Maidana so i feel Khan would be in for a good chance.

    I know a lot of you guys don't want to see the fight but i think its a good match up.

    Besides, as good as a boxer Mayweather is, it would be nice to see him cry after a loss.. He seems like a very emotional character with underlying issues but a great boxer non the less.

    Floyd doesn't like inside fighting or refs who allow it, khan need not worry

      That fight along with May-Cotto and Clottey- Marg are three fights that you get tired just watching. Just some of the most active movement punching and thinking you see in boxing.

            What is going on today, where are these fans coming from.

            First Canelo should have fought Floyd like Maidana. Because Broner fights like Floyd and Canelo is capable of fighting like Maidana.

            Now,if Khan fights Mayweather like he did Maidana, he has a chance of winning. Because Mayweather is going to fight like Maidana, therefore make Khan have to fight like that.

            I will be lurking to read more NSB ******ity, but I don't know how much can I read before my brain blows up.

              That fight was three years ago and Khan was a much better fighter then than he is today. At that time Khan was rated in the top 3 140 pounders in the world. That is when Mayweather should have fought him and I would have had no problem with the fight. Today Khan is nowhere near as good a fighter as he was when he beat Maidana. He has looked like garbage in his last 3 fights and he is rated the #17 welterweight in the world. I expect Mayweather to score his first KO since Ortiz and he will win every round until he KOs Khan.
