Thread: Khan's chances.

I agree with Mark. Khan looked very bad last time out. Mayweather couldn't stop a bus, but he would likely knock Khan out.

Even if you ignore Khan's last fight - everyone can have an off night plus Aligeri is a good fighter plus Floyd would never adopt the tactics he did - his lightening fast flurries wont have much of an affect on Floyd. He will probably end up looking silly as Floyd evades them. He wont be able to gauge the distance and will end up diving on to a million right hands.

Floyd isn't a powderpuff puncher. He wouldn't have been able to beat the guys he has if he was.

However, Khan still does bring something new to the table. There are worst opponents Floyd could choose.

Better than Mannys in my opinion. Still a fight I really want to see.

Agree Fenster

As much as I don't want him to get the fight his style is the best out there to cause Floyd problems and maybe put him behind on the score cards early and put him in a place we've not seen him before

Khan is the Sam I Am of getting rocked. He could be in any arena vs anybody and he can be wobbled. Floyd doesn't need huge power as accuracy and depth will rule the day. Khan gets enveloped in stress and over thinking a situation, bundle of nerves. Seriously, Floyd would eat that up.

Khan has a chance with his speed but only for 4 rounds whilst Thurman is less experienced than Khan but more dangerous for full 12 rounds.

I think Floyd beating Thurman will mean more to his legacy than Khan. Thurman will go on to bigger and better things as Canelo has.

Floyd is looking for big money not a legacy fight.

At 39 years of age, why would Floyd risk his health for a much smaller payday against a guy people are speculating may be a better fighter than Khan...? Thurman could end up being on the same level as Khan, or ever less highly regarded--you're only speculating that he'll be better.

Bless. Worried Floyd may get hurt in his old age against a young hungry strong poet punching fighter?

I would prefer Brooks against Floyd for the same reasons.

Khan brings less danger than Thurman and Brooks.

Khan brings the MONEY.
Thurman? Brooks? No money there... Bigger risk. No money.

I didn't know Thurman is also a poet. Tell me more...

Khan has speed, but not much else.

It's a joke that people think speed alone can beat Floyd.

All 3 names do absolutely nothing for floyds legacy so it doesn't really matter who out of the 3 he fights but IMO Thurman is the easiest fight for floyd

Keith One Time Thurman knocks out Mayweather and that's a cold fact!

I dont think theres a fighter from 136 to 154 from any era that would knock out Floyd Mayweather. Only way Floyd gets KOd is if he fights when he is too old and clearly shot.

Hmmm good point.
