    It wouldn't take Floyd more than two rounds to adjust to Khan's speed.

    Khan still can't fight on the inside to save his life, and Floyd can rough you up on the inside when he needs to.

      Its the Khan-Paulie fight all over again. Guerrero is just slightly bigger with slightly more power and a longer reach but Khan will still light him up.
      It's the worst fight for BOTH. Guerrero does well on the inside and we'll see Khan clinching again all night. This will be the same fight Khan experienced with Peterson, except that Khan's newfound clinching defense will save him from Guerrero's onslaught. Guerrero, on the other hand, had to have a much stronger chin and midsection to weather Khan's combinations. If he does, then Khan will be in big trouble. This is a 50/50 fight.

          Khan deserves his number 1 ranking. He dominated a prime top 5 welterweight luis collazo. If khan doesnt get floyd its a travesty for boxing!

            No he can't. He only pot shots against the ropes. Floyd has never came forward to fight on the inside. Ever.

              Hmm, I'm pretty sure that he was forced to fight on the inside (due to his torn rotator cuff) at some point in the first Castillo fight.

                So basically one of the only times Floyd ever had to fight inside, in 2001, he was in the closest fight of his career and arguably lost in some people's eyes ...

                ... right, he's clearly an amazing inside fighter.

                The phone booth doubles as Floyd's office LOL

                  I didn't say he was a great inside fighter.
