    Khan has to come out swinging like Hearns

    Here is how i see it

    Nobody outboxes Floyd, Canelo and many others tried it and Floyd took them to school.

    Cotto, Judah and DLH had all success in the first 4-6 Rounds against Floyd because thats the time Floyd needs to adjust to his opponent. Once the fight reaches the second half of the fight its basically over, Floyd is gonna potshot his way to another one sided UD.
    Khan has neither the skill nor the quickness to win a decision vs Floyd.
    Amir has to land something big early in the fight to take Floyd out of his comfort zone and force him into a dogfight, thats his only chance.
    I know Amir has no chin and is probably gonna get KOed anyways but at least he could make it somehow exciting this way and i would give him a 3% chance to win the fight.
    Just like Hearns against Hagler, come out swinging like a homeless psychopath on a war flashback and kill or get killed early.

    Your thoughts?

    If Khan makes it past round 9 I would be seriously surprised. No way this fight makes it to the distance, unless Floyd lets it go the distance.

        Have you actually seen Hearns vs. Hagler? It wasn't Hearns who came out like a madman.

        But you're right, Khan should come out throwing crazy flurries. Maybe he'll impress the judges and steal a decision that way.

            Mayweather hasn't fought anybody with speed in nearly a decade. I'm interested to see what Khan can do, given the opportunity.

              Absolutely no interest in the fight. Can't/won't entertain the "what Khan has to do", arguments.

                  They will put it on PPV. And we'll have to listen to jim watt for 8 rounds.

                    The amir khan who was trained by Freddie roach with that ambush style had a chance against Floyd. The flat footed version trained by Virgil hunter has virtually no chance.
