    Mayweather has clearly lost a touch, and is very much hittable..

    Khan jab holds the key here.. And his jab is 10x better than Maidana

    Plus he got Hand speed, foot speed, higher work rate, same reach, Jab, age, straight punching style which would give Floyd problems...


    Floyd seems more and more hittable, it could be a Khan's night.


    Mayweather should avoid a fast fighter at ANY cost.

    No wonder all his previous opponents have been Slow in recent years.



    I can see Mayweather fighting Danny Garcia or Cotto (rematch) next, both safe fights.
    I assumed you were going to base your argument on khans total lack of credibility
    The josesito Lopez fight is more more apt for khan at this stage

      Floyd has avoided Amir Khan at all costs (and rightly so). Khan couldn't even crack off a two fight winning streak when he had the fight on the table....twice.

        Thing is, a huge factor was Maidana's power and it limited what Floyd could do. Against Kahn, there's no concern for his power and no inhibition of fighting against the ropes, etc.

            Khan looks like he has decent pop at 147, he's not a power puncher but enough to keep boxers in check.. i mean he did drop Collazo 3 times but he never really had him badly hurt. Collazo has only been KO'd once early in his career and neither Shane Mosley or Ricky Hatton could stop him either..

            In fact i don't think Mosley even dropped him and Hatton only dropped him once.. Khan dropped him 3 times, make of that what you will..

              Current Cotto is far more dangerous than Khan.

              Who has Khan beat recently? Collazo who loses every big foght? Blown up Diaz (who dropped him heavily)?

              Sorry man, but Khan's last good win was 4 years ago against Maidana.

                Khan has power but unlike Maidana he has speed and accuraccy aswell

                  Kahn is all wrong for floyd. I actually think Floyd should gun for pacquiao.

                    Khan has limited power.

                    If he's in with an average guy he can land a lot and accumulate damage, but generally speaking he is a pitty pat puncher.
