Paul McCloskey is saying it is a joke if Khan gets a Mayweather fight

[Spicoli]

I've got to disagree. Styles make fights and Amir has the speedster style that can be tricky for Mayweather.

A guy like Guerrero is tailor made for Mayweather's style because he's slow and doesn't really give Floyd a whole lot to process. Khan's hand speed, footspeed and jab would force Floyd out of his comfort zone and have him on his toes and thinking (same reason Pacquaio would have been an interesting matchup for Floyd).

I think Khan has much more of a chance to beat Mayweather than guys like Bradley, Garcia, Matthyse, and most of the other potential Floyd matchups.

Handspeed, footspeed and jab? So your saying Khan will have the advantage because he'll box Floyd? I dunno man, sounds like a kid bringing his Checker board to a Chess tournament right there. Khan gets shirt circuited and has a nasty habit of mentally seizing when he gets clipped, fighting the other guys fight. Floyd would have him on a leash like a trained poodle before top long.

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't think Khan beats Floyd. I just say that with his general speed (of hand and foot) he's giving Floyd a lot more to think about than a guy like Matthyse or Garcia, who would get boxed silly.

Khan has a china chin and has been on the skids lately, but when his head is on he's a superb boxing talent.
