Mayweather/Khan May 3rd looks like

[p4pking]

Not at all surprised, it's a mismatch but will be interesting to watch for a bit. Khan has as big a profile as anyone Floyd hasn't already beat below 160, Garcia could use another fight or two to build himself up and that's about all she wrote.

Not surprised either. Mismatch is a little strong my friend imo for this particular encounter if you consider the strong points of each guy. Sure Khan has a dodgy chin but so did Hearns and Ray never ran out there and tried to plug it and I dont see Floyd being overly aggressive either. I think it could resemble that fight a little over the first few rounds.

I agree that in theory it's a bad style for Floyd, but Khan is no Tommy Hearns. It doesn't look like he can take a punch from anyone these days, and he doesn't really fight smart enough to be effective for very long here imo. He's pretty inaccurate with the jab against sitting targets, Floyd will counter the hell out of him over it.

Lol I know. I just dont think its going to be the blow out that people view it as. I think Khan will have his moments. It would be funny or rather ironic if Khan because of styles gave Floyd more trouble then others did even though I see him stopped mid to late also.

I'll believe it when I see it. Floyd can't be this foolish as to think that this is an acceptable fight.

Khan would have no chance what so ever. NONE.

[Max Power]

Bum fight for Floyd. Khan has speed but nothing else.

Floyd by KO in total domination.

I cannot believe how gullible some fans are by making a case for this fight. It is a joke and boxing at its worst.

They are going to carry Khan in the ring and cover him in cotton wool before the first bell in case he falls over and hits his chin and knocks himself out and thereby losing millions of dollars to the teams and hanger ons

[Max Power]

And we agree on something Master! lol

So who do you think would do better under 154 that's not with top rank ?

Better than Khan?
Brooks, Alewxander, Cotto 2, Alvarez 2, Broner, Garcia,

Here's the kicker for me, you may of course tar and feather me out of the forum for saying this :P Khan is fast, fleet on his and throws a lot of straight punches. Floyd isn't packing TNT in his gloves either as far as the issue of khan's chin is concerned. I think Styles Make Fights and this one might be more difficult for Floyd than Cotto or Alveraz ever was due to the way Khan fights rather then those twos skills or lack there of.

That comment is what everyone who likes mayweather is worried about and theres truth in what you say, but i will counter that and mention khans last fight.

Plus, imagine khan against cotto.

Perhaps moving to 147 will be a turning point for khan and it was the low weight all along that proved to be his downfall in taking punches.

Perhaps he beats mayweather and goes on to be one of the greatest welterweights we have seen which would be great for boxing and the uk.

Perhaps virgil has toned down khan and hes not so gung ho anymore and perhaps he takes his time with his workrate.

I just still see his last fight. And even though i wish him all the sucess in the world im more annoyed that other fighters dont get the chance like bradley or garcia regardless of promoters..it stinks.

Floyd has usually fought fighters coming of wins but i think he will put his promotor hat on to fight khan as its bound to be the most money.

Either way, as a fan im hoping for garcia or bradley, and wont be impressed if its khan but i also realise khans speed is an issue for anyone...but his punch resistance is not.

The only guys Mayweather should be looking at at 147 are Bradley, Garcia, Broner (if he gets past Maidana), Pacquiao (if he gets past Rios), Thurman (if he gets past Soto Karass)

Then you have the likes of Alexander or Khan
