Amir Khan Vs Floyd Mayweather Jnr

I’m just starting to wonder if Khans (possibly) superior Speed and developing ring general ship would be enough to keep him in good stead against Floyd Mayweather..?

Now I know that upon 1st thought this may seem absurd but just give it a little more thought... :)

I’m not saying Khan could beat Mayweather but what I'm trying to fathom is just how good/bad would Khan really look against The Pretty Boy? You've gotta admit, Khan would be the fastest, best mover put in front of Floyd.

I think Khan would put up a pretty respectable show ;)

I think he'd do ok for the first half, Floyd isn't a huge puncher but he has pretty decent power to get him by, ask Hatton. Khan's defence is a bit better than Ricky's so I think he'll do ok for the first half, maybe even win some of the rounds.. we've all seen Floyd struggle to cope with speed before, but I think floyd would slowly wear him down and inevitably end it with a TKO.

Khan tries to outspeed Floyd, gets caught with two lead rights buckles and is stopped by the end of the first after a brutal upper cut, left hook combo

If he did bother him for a bit, which is very debatable, I still think Floyd would adjust and handle him. Probably would pressure him with a high guard, lead rights.

this fight will never happen as floyd will duck khan ;D
but if it did then khan will probably last for about 6-8 rounds before floyd KOs him.

and another idiot appears, way to contradict yourself buddy, Floy will duck Khan, but then KO him?!?! if Khan wins against Kotelnik, he gets beaten by Torres, Holt, Witter, Hatton, Urango, Pacquiao, and Bradley at 140, IMO Prescott ko's him again

you're the idiot if you didnt notice the smiley and couldn't get sarcasm.

Khan has the speed to trouble Floyd but that is it.I think Floyd wins by tko,i carnt see him sitting there trying to counter Khan imo he will beat Khan to the punch ,using his jab to unsetle Khan and step in with the straight right hand and he will wear Khan down for a mid way tko.

is this a joke mayeather would ko him in the 1st or else play about with him for a few rounds then ko him and ad say meyweather is faster than khan

Mayweathers most underrated asset is his power, he will be too much for Khan and I dont see it going past the first 3 rounds if that.

Mayweather is a little faster than Khan who is very fast, but MAyweather would beat him to the punch, and even though MAyweather isn't a huge puncher, he's a bigger puncher than Barrera who hurt Khan when he landed that left hook, and Mayweather would land for sure on Khan.

Mayweather plays it easy for the first two rounds checking Khan's style, then starts on him in the 3rd & I think takes him out in the 5th or 6th round.

Khan wouldn't win a round. IMO he wouldn't beat Katsidis either!

Floyd would break his heart, dominate him for a few rounds and finish him off round 5 or 6. Can I just add that Floyd is not as fast as he used to be, I would say Khan is just as fast.

Mayweather doesn't show his speed as much anymore, but besides footspeed with declines for everything, he is close enough to his old speed to still be faster than Khan, if he was in his prime or even when he was at 135 or 140 he was significantly faster than Khan. I just don't feel that he commits to punches like he used because he doesn't want to get hit as much against bigger guys.
