No.

The only way he would have a realistic chance is if Floyd cashes in his pension in the next few months, which is possible as he is now in his 38th year.

If he retains most of his current skillset, then he beats Khan.

I didn't before this card. I suppose that's the danger of Floyd boxing below par and Khan very well, it seems closer now.
Whilst both have beaten Maidana, Floyd's was more consclusive as Khan just scaped it.

I still think Khan will get too excited against Floyd. Of course he kept it together for Luis and Virgil is to thank for that but if he thinks Floyd is there for the taking then he'll lose his head and go for it. Floyd will counter a la Hatton and it'll all be over.

What happens if Khan does keep his head?

I actually think he could do alright with this one. Mayweather is a rough fighter which Khan struggles against. He can do well in this one

Maidana , swamped Floyd , he just bullied forward , throwing punches from every angle not to concerned if they landed on the arms , back of the head,or the target,

Khan cannot fight inside , his long arms would'nt allow him to sit on Floyds chest , his chin or lack off , would'nt allow him to go toe to toe close range ,

Fighting on the outside , he gets drawn in and KNOCKED OUT . and i don't even like Floyd , Manny has the style to beat Floyd , but then again thats why its never happened and never will
