He stuggled massively against Maidana and was very close to being stopped. As hard as Maidana hits, he is basically a fairly limited slugger who was catching Khan cleanly on multiple occasions throughout the fight.
Mayweather is arguably the most accurate puncher in boxing today, lightening fast, has unbelievable skill levels and defence and has never shown any vulnerabilities as regards his chin. I just don't see how Khan can win the fight. He may have some early success but he'll be worked out within a few rounds like all the others are and then get stopped late.
Khan improves vastly between fights, people were saying Judah would have khans number and he got absolutely taken apart. khan would be an underdog but i cant see floyd having an easy time with him, even if PBF ko'd khan in the mid to late rounds the rounds up until then will be tough. People talk about khan not having PBF's boxing brain let me ask this - does Roach have a boxing brain?
He can improve as much as he likes but he isn't beating Mayweather. Judah is well past his prime and that fight was never going to be competitive. Mayweather is an all time great who is still in his prime and that will be the difference.
PBF isnt in his prime

If he's not in his prime then he is very near to it and for me he'd have to have deteriorated beyond all recognition to lose to Khan. The Mayweather that fought Ortiz last Saturday would dominate Khan.

There's no doubt that Mayweather will avoid Khan.
He'll avoid him in the first round, in the second round...for the full twelve rounds if he lets it go that far.
I'll be cheering Amir on though and hope he gets his chance.
