Take Khans speed coupled with his high workrate then he can give Floyd fits,Amir's kryptonite is his punch resistance and his willingness to trade when hurt,he seems to have the latter under control or at least its improved so far

Styles make fights and theres a lot of fighters who can beat Khan but funnily enough i feel that he outworks Floyd,whether he'd get the nod from the judges is another matter

IMO Khan has a better chance of beating Mayweather than Pacquiao but i'd probably fancy Manny to KO Khan

Because Mayweather HASN'T been beat and Khan HAS,people find it inconcievable that Amir has a good chance

Incorrect sir.

floyd was clearly beaten by JLC .

I'll be honest i never seen either Castillo fight,although most people had Jose Luis winning,there were some who thought Floyd won

Castillo clearly won it. Two or three points.

Floyd is used to be a frontrunner.
How will he react when Amir pulls away the early rds and stays safely on the outside ?

Khan's boxing brain has improved, while PBF's physical attributes have dwindled.

Just because Garcia was able to bomb Khan doesn't mean Floyd will.
And just because PeDersen was able to bully him marching forward doesn't imply Floyd will be able either.
Floyd isn't a bomber.
Neither is he a pressure fighter.

This is a 50-50 fight.

Mayweather doesnt need to do any of that. He will block or slip most of Khans punches, very few of which will land. While land his crisp counters and potshots winning rounds after rounds. If Khan gets to aggressive he will walk into something very unpleasant. If not he will loose wide decision.
80-20 for Mayweather

observer1Because he is better than the opposition Mayweather beat [/b]i.e. Ortiz, Maidana and Guerrero etc.

But since the majority of Boxing fans are retards, i guess we'll stick to Mayweather facing Plodders/Brawlers

LOL, I remember reading on this site before Mayweather vs Maidana 1 when people were voting on who should get the fight between the two of them (Khan or Maidana) and many people were crying saying how they would boycott Floyd if he fought Amir and now here we have so called "boxing fans" here giving Khan a blowjob and a serious chance of outboxing Mayweather because he beat a nobody in Devon Alexander.

Y'all make me laugh.

="Batley18"]Khan was schooling Garcia before he got caught hard. In fact, it was embarrassing how easy Khan was hitting him. Pretty sure he was cut in the 2nd round. As for Peterson, he was down twice in the first (one judged a slip). What didn't take Khan to victories in those fight was poor tactics.

Mayweather is close to the end, has lost lot in the last 1 months, and I could see Khan winning that fight.

Nice blinders you have on. Not sure what Floyd has lost, he is still winning his fights with relative ease against fighters far younger, stronger and bigger than him.[/quote]

Keep listening to Freddie Roach telling us how Mayweather has lost his legs, and then when he shuts down his opponents it is called "running".

LOL, can't have it both ways, if Manny moves it's called boxing, if Mayweather does it, then it's called running; the typical boxing double standard I guess.

Contrary to PeDerson and Garcia, PBF has a history of hand problems.
Thus his potshot style.

Actually, that's not what happened at all. Khan started getting sloppy and started trading with Garcia and that's all she wrote. It had nothing to do with Garcia "timing" him like Garcia is some kind of skilled counter puncher.

Khan beats Mayweather.

Discuss and disagree till your hearts content. If the fight happens khan wins. Let's see.

Wish I had a nickel every time I heard that.

Really? I guess you didn't see him vs Shane or Canelo??

This. Floyd has walked cats down before. Its not that odd a thing to anticipate happening.

He walked them down alright, but for what ?

He always makes sure to let them escape at the last moment.

Guy always settles for a safety-first decision.
