Thread: Khan's chances.

What are his chances against Floyd?

Worse than Manny's.

It's a shit fight and it better not happen!

Khan can't be counted on to cut the mustard.

Khan is a decent fighter, and seems to be as brave as they come. He has very fast hands and good technique.

On the downside, he has been fragile and I think he never has a Plan B because he is definitely not a thinker in the ring. He gets drawn away from his gameplay time after time.

The only threat he poses to Mayweather is if Floyd suddenly gets old during the fight.

Punch power, chin,experience, ring smarts and a winning attitude all belong to Floyd.

I don't really see what Floyd would want the fight, what's really in it for him? No title on the line, not a rival in the P4P stakes and not an opponent who is recognised worldwide. Floyd needs crossover fights at this stage of his career, and the Khan fight is strictly one for boxing fans.

As Don King regularly says "he's got 2 chances, slim and none.....and Slim's outta town right now!"
No way should this fight ever happen.

Yup. Even best case scenario and Floyd goes out and scores a sensational early KO, which would be so rare for Floyd. What does he gain? It's like "who cares, 140lb Danny Garcia knocked him out and 135lb Prescott."

Nothing to gain, not an interesting fight. Khan has a ton of speed and athletic ability but he doesn't have the ring IQ to go with it. Floyd has many gears, Khan has 1 gear.

I think it's a better fight than the Maidana rematch. That was totally pointless but people still bought it. I think he will want a relatively straight forward but lucrative opponent. Khan fits the bill.

Khan brings the illusion of hope along with a huge overseas fan base.

The fight will sell well and big money will be made.

That's all that matters at this point. Right?

So we end up with yet another shit Floyd fight so people can keep throwing shit on Floyd for picking the wrong opponent?
Yep..... sounds like a plan to me.

Khan isn't in Floyd's UNIVERSE as far as ring IQ.

Can't argue with that.

There isn't a better fighter for Floyd to fight actually
.

Khan currently is garbage, but he had great potential...
Based on his interviews, I'd say he is not his own man in boxing ...

I'd give Khan around a 40% chance of winning and that's about 39% more than anyone else at 147. I'm not sure if floyd can hurt Kahn and if he can't it could be a very interesting flight. I'm a floyd fan and hope he wins but if that fight happens I'll 100% be putting some money on Khan for the upset.

I give him 20%

Before their respective last fights I gave him 50%

No one penetrates Floyd's defence. Not even me
