Re: If Floyd-Khan DOES happen...

"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......![[icon_e_confused.gif] :confused:](./images/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif)
