      To those looking for Amir Khan to beat Mayweather - this would never happen. PBF is too balanced, has too good a defence, has more power than Khan in my opinion, he's just far too good for Khan to ever beat unless it was prime Khan vs 36 year old mayweather, which isn't really a very good comparison because someone else will have beaten PBF by then. The only thing Khan has on him is reach (the guy has got the makings of an outstanding jab) and possibly pure handspeed, even though PBFs balance more than negates this. PLus Khan's chin is untested and will be his downfall I feel.

      I don't think any of the current contenders individually would beat Floyd, but chances are that if you fight enough, you're gonna get beaten, so on any one night, an upset could happen. Not Cotto though! No chance! Hatton or Margarito have much better chances IMO.

          I actually have fifty quid on Cotto to beat PBF if this fight ever happens, but I wouldnt be surprised if I lose. Cotto has looked a bit shaky recently whereas PBF seems to be going from strength to strength. That said, PBF will never have faced someone that can punch as hard as Cotto, or with as good a chin. I still think that Cotto COULD beat PBF but whether he WOULD or not is a different issue.
          cotto is a overrated hbo fighter he's been shaky because he doest hit hard enough to keep his old style.I think mayweather is overrated as well but he would beat cotto to death easy. if zab throws left hands bombs fast hard and.just be explosive he can.stop floyd if he boxes he can't win

            shane still has some pretty fast hands we know he has a good chin and hes had good power in the lower weight classes. its possible in my mind

            he's got fast hands, but not as fast as when he was @ 135 and definitely not as fast as FMJ. He does have a good chin, but at 147 his power is not there, let alone 154. He's not the same wya he used to be, he used to move a lot, now he moves, but stay in front of you too long sometimes and FMJ will capitalize on that, but yuou may be right.

              to bad well never know because i don't see PBF takeing this fight. PBF will not fight anyone he thinks has a chance at beating him even if the fans would love to see it.

                I think PBF will be the first to get to PBF.

                  I just want to see him fight Hatton because if he beats Hatton easily then he is the ****ing greatest because I cant imagine anyone beating Ricky easily. If Maywaether hangs around long enough for Amir to fight him then he could be beat, but Khan is with Warren he is going to be at least 30-0 before he fights anyone dangerous, Mayweather will be old by then and more than likely gone, probably retired possibly undefeated, but if he isnt Khan could get him, though I agree with optimus I think Khan got knocked down in an amateur contest by domestic amateur not so long before he turned pro raising questions about his chin, but the guy is awesome.
