Khan has improved...he has. But I think and can invision Mayweather literally laughing out loud at Khan ring center and then schooling him badly.
I like Khan, but he has to get past Maidana, probably Ortiz & then whoever is on top after the Bradley/Alexander doubleheader. He's got serious talent & if he beats all that I'd give him a chance if Mayweather got past Pacquiao, but not a big one.
Mayweather might not KO everyone, but in his last 2 fights he's looked like he could've KO'd JMM but decided to get the rounds in & he had Shane Mosely staggered all over the place where Naazim was talking about stopping the fight. Those are two 1st ballot hall of famers, the 2nd of whom was a bigger fighter with a great chin. Amir Khan is missing on all those counts. Plus the Malignaggi fight showed that while he is talented & I see him causing Floyd trouble with his jab, he can be easily hit & if Mayweather lands those counters on him that he did on Mosley, I expect Khan to go. I reckon Mayweather in the 8th.
Ye Khan would see the final bell because he would have the confidence and experience by then to survive at the least as he would have had to unify the light welter division and Floyd would have to be on his last legs.
