    Khan has the heart, talent, and ability but there's something missing. He's a better talker than fighter. I can see him being a successful trainer or boxing analyst more than a fighter.

      He might be the absolute worst boxing analyst ever when he was on Showtime.

        Do you think Floyd can hurt him? If not, what shot do you give him of giving Floyd trouble with speed and the jab? I know you're a huge Floyd so I'd like to hear your opinion.

He does not have a great jab nor does he commit to it...He has ineffective speed which means he throws sloppy combos with out any base to them. Khan is a counter punchers dream.. His timing sucks and he has no since of distance..all ya'll talk about is his speed which honestly is not all that
            Tell that to Zab Judah.

            If Khan can take Floyd's power then I believe he wins.

              Tell what to Zab Judah?? Zab is a mental midget...and Khan will not take Floyds power..the man can not take flush shots period

                Khan fanboys say Khan has never been outboxed, as if he's going to outbox Floyd.
                You don't have to be a superior boxer, you can have an outlandish physical gift. In Khan's case it's speed, in Thurman's case it's power. Floyd is already looking old and getting tagged against a much slower Maidana.

                  Tell him Khan doesn't have the ability to pressure or the strength to make his speed count.

                  You know he dropped Maidana, right? Floyd couldn't drop Maidana. He dropped Collazo three times too.

                  Zab is a mental midget...and Khan will not take Floyds power..the man can not take flush shots period
                  It's possible he won't, but if he does, I think he wins.

                    Let me break it down to you..Miadana is a pressure fighter and has an akward style..Khan is straight up and down and is not a pressure fighter..plus he is not as physical as Maidana and has a bad chin, his timing sucks and he has no defense..he was dropped by ****ing Julio DIaz for crying out loud....and ko'd by Garcia....speed did not help him there did it??

                      He was dominating Garcia, and Floyd can't hit like Garcia. Diaz was a flash knock-down, and Khan is much more settled into the new style since that fight (see Collazo bout).

                      If you think Maidana is awkward, I'm willing to bet Khan's lightning speed is lot more difficult to deal with. Floyd has never fought an opponent like that.

                      Khan has faster handspeed, and footspeed. And if Floyd needs a hug, he can deliver that too.
