Now that Khan was exposed by Algieri using a smotherng tactic it'd be interesting to see if Floyd takes the same approach. Khan is a beast when he is fighting a boxer puncher. But he has enough speed to evade brawlers like Maidana whilst landing combos. Algieri had the speed and length that gave Khan trouble while working an inside game. Khan has been Ko'd only once. He was ruled out on his feet and declared a tko loser against Danny. He took Maidanas best shots flush and never went down and finished strong. Idk how different this Khan is now to the one we used to see, but Khan has proven himself to have one of the strongest wills to win in the game right now
    ????? Garcia,Prescott...how is that once?? not to mention he has been floored damn near 10 times

      I was referring to Khan-Prescott where he was literally KO'd. With Garcia he was rightfully ruled TKO'd as he could barely stand but none the less he wasn't sparked out or quit like Floyd's previous opponents Pacquiao, Cotto, Ortiz, Judah, and some more. The point is just because Khan has a suspect chin and can be downed doesn't mean Floyd is just going to steam roll him. Khan has taken the best shots from guys all over the board at 140-147. Khan and Floyd are out fighters. They control the fight with controlling the distance. To do what Algieri did, Floyd would have to do something very out character which is apply constant pressure. Something he has never really done. But it would be the best game plan for sure considering Khan, once he can control the distance with his jab, would be able to mount a offense that obviously would be at a higher rate then Floyd's usual shoulder/roll pot shoting style. I'm not knocking Floyd, I am just saying stylistically it is a good fight and one that would trouble Floyd more then most other guys out there. Thurman and Porter are green, and they aren't as sharp with their punches as elites like Mayweather, Pac, Khan (on most occasions), Mathysse, and some more I probably I have forgot to name. Sure I am okay with Floyd fighting an easy fight of his choice a his last hoo-raah as I am just kinda ready to see him retire and go off into the sunset. If that is the case then Garcia would be a great pick because on paper he should be numero uno, but we all know Garcia just s*cks. My first choice is Khan, second would be Brooke, and if not them two then Thurman or Cotto

        Exciting no, Floyd doesnt do exciting but it will be interesting, Khan has his flaws but he offers a different type of puzzle to solve than any of Floyds previous opponents so it will be something different ay least.

        Khan just doesnt lose alot of rounds unless he gets hurt so I dont see a boring one sided shut out happening.

            Amir khan has fast hands,fast legs,boxing skills and obviously he is vulnerable too, on the other side Mayweather have not got KO win for long time so in his last fight he would go for KO, this scenario would definitely make fight more exciting.

            What do you guys think?
            Let me think....


            ............. ZZZZZzzzz ... Did I snore?

              mayweather vs anyone isn't an exciting fight

              his lunge/run/lunge/run/lunge/run style means that if you try to make it exciting (by chasing him around between lunges) you lose every round

              the only way to beat him will be a taste of his own medicine.. which khan may or may not be capable of. He's a very fast boxer and has also mastered that lunge/run style (watch the end of the lamont peterson fight)

                Khan is nearly always exciting, win or lose...


                And if an opponent comes to fight and engage, floyd can be in an exciting fight..(chavez, hatton, castillo, cotto)

                      Khan is overrated and his fanboys are almost as ******ed as pac tards..

                      Floyd will pick him off pretty quickly
