The topic about this fight didn't get replys back when I offered it last December. Maybe, it'll interest people after past Saturday's fight. I think, it's a fascinating match-up, folks. Both are having a path to victory.
Khan could've outpointed and outmaneuvered a lot of people. He could also get clipped and stopped. I can see Amir being able to outpoint a still-flawed Ryan by a considerable margin (if he avoids disaster). And I can see him being flattened by Ryan's left hook.
Also, Ryan is one of those few who could've matched Khan in handspeed department.
So, let's imagine that Golden Boy Promotions (who used to promote Khan in his heyday) makes this in-house fight.
How it goes?

I can't see Khan surviving in this one-Garcia stops him.

Re: Amir Khan (prime) vs Ryan Garcia
I hear you. And Khan was most vulnerable exactly for the left hook - Ryan's money punch. On top of that, Ryan's hands are almost just as fast as Khan's.
That said, Khan somehow survived Maidana and took some flush shots from Peterson. Not that his chin was completely glass. But with Ryan - yeah, I'm kinda leaning towards your prediction.
