I'm sure of it.
People keep going on about Khan's suspect chin, but has Floyd got the power to take advantage of that? I don't think so. Plus Khan's chin isn't THAT bad. I mean it's not a rock, but people often exaggerate how weak it is. The guy took quite a few big shots from Maidana, who's one of the hardest P4P punchers in the sport, and managed to survive without going down.
Khan's speed and combination punching will cause Floyd all sorts of problems imo, especially in the first half of the fight. I don't wanna hear any of this 'once Floyd starts timing him, it's over!' BS followed by the suggestion that Floyd should be fighting Maidana or D.Garcia, who would both get shut out easily. At least Khan will give him a few problems in patches and win some rounds.
I don't care who 'deserves' a shot at Floyd, I care about who's gonna give him the best fight. And Khan will certainly give him a better fight than slow, flat-footed snails like D.Garcia and Maidana. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather see Floyd man up and fight Pac, Lara or GGG/Martinez, who've both offered to come down to 154 to fight, but out of the names Floyd is willing to get in the ring with, Khan is the best option imo.
I think this fight will go the distance, but even if it doesn't, it'll be competitive for as long as it lasts imo. I predict that Floyd will win a close UD or a SD.
Khan is going to surprise a lot of people.
