"old man Floyd"? Not sure about that mate. Even Khan's best rounds would be given to Floyd by some judges as Floyd can roll with it to make them close. Whereas Floyd's rounds would be strikingly clear, and greater in number.
I could see myself offering Khan a chance in this fight and come away feeling foolish. Khan's big enough and fast enough to hit Floyd with some hard shots - Mayweather knows all this and he'd just come up with a game plan to counteract, finding a way to stop Khan setting himself for attacks just at the right moment. He also comes in pretty big himself - I remember he looked visibly bigger and stronger than Ricky Hatton for instance. Both fighters can ride out uncomfortable moments, but I feel confidence is key for Khan. If he doesn't start well, such as his fight against Julio Diaz, then I predict problems as once Floyd gets going he can close the door, and if that leaves Amir taking risks, well...... :confused:

i wouldn't complain about khan-floyd if khan beat guerrrero first, but i don't think khan is going to fight guerrero.
he backed out of the alexander fight and he has yet to fight a top 10 welter and has been wobbled in his
two welter fights against lesser guys. i would replace "ESPECIALLY" with "ONLY". if khan won't fight
any of the top guys at welter, then he doesn't belong in a ring with floyd. the idea is a joke. how does khan
deserve to be called a top 10 welter based on his two welter fights?

Mayweather Jr would win by UD. I'd put my house on it.

If Khan did man up and take on someone like Porter, Guerrero, Thurman, or Brook - and win, the fight might make sense. Khan seems to be dragging his feet on Guerrero, again, as it was announced on one site, scheduled on boxrec - now nothing. RG is the perfect opportunity for Khan, with Guerrero being tough but not a big puncher. If not, it is an absolutely no-win situation for Floyd. Floyd makes his big bank no matter who he fights, so a better option would be to fight the guy that knocked Khan out - unbeaten Garcia. If not him, I do think he will fight Pac in one of his two last fights.
