His timing sucks and he has no since of distance..all ya'll talk about is his speed which honestly is not all that
    Agreed. All very valid points. I don't look at Khan as some sort of master boxer. He's too sloppy and makes too many rookie mistakes to be considered such. Every fighter who has been able to deal with his speed has managed to time him and hurt him at some point. His footwork is atrocious and he can't fight going backwards. He actually looks a lot worse under Virgil Hunter than Roach and his offensive output has dropped dramatically since Khan now fights way more cautiously than before. The problem with that is that he's not a thinking type of fighter.

    I feel that Floyd will time him, counter him like crazy and Khan will get discouraged from not being able to do his usual jump in with 3-4 shots routine (like in the Garcia fight). Maidana had a much better shot against Floyd because he had absolutely no respect for Floyd and doesn't generally give a crap about who he's in with. Khan doesn't have that same temperament. He will make it interesting for the first 3-4 rounds then get beat. Not saying Floyd will knock him out, but Floyd will beat Khan and won't get any credit for it.

        with the amount of clinching both did in their last fights, this could potentially be a big stinker

          Why do you guys keep bringing this up? Do you also forget how much trouble Maidana had to go through to get Khan to fight him to the point where he threatened to sue. Funny how you guys keep bringing it up like it matters now. Even funnier that up to this point in time Maidana is rated higher then Khan.

            Khan is so vulnerable up close Mayweather will find ways to work him there. Also, Khan is too ****** a fighter not to make this entertaining.

              If Khan sticks to boxing and stays disciplined I actually think he'll give Floyd his toughest fight ever. As long as he doesn't caught up in a brawl, and he adapts his game plan so that offense doesn't become predictable it's going to be a very competitive fight.

                It's a 50/50 fight for me. Shyt..if amir was fighting a complete bum I'd still see it as 50/50 because of his chin. To me Floyd has to win by KO.I don't know at this stage if he has it in him to outpoint Khan ,but its Amir so a stoppage is not out of the question.The fight I want to see is floyd vs Pacman, I think pac is going to do a number on him due to his southpaw advantage. The entire fight is going to look like the early rounds of the Zab fight but pac is gonna land more, even this past prime pac is better than any version of Judah.

                    Khan looked solid against Collazo, big and strong.

                    Floyd aint walking him down, he doesnt have the power to take risks like that
