    Khan does not have a chance!
    You can get excited, fantasize up a storm, lick your chops, and Khan will still lose. Khan is not on the same level.

    Speed doesn't matter much hen guys know how to fight- floyd won't care much about speed.
    Why do you think Khan is an accurate puncher? Why do you say that?

    Khan is alright but honestly I think Broner would punch out Khan, let alone Mayweather!

    Khan has loads of raw speed, but he's not really an accurate puncher at all, at least in the context of a competitive fight he isn't. If anything given how naturally talented he is his accuracy is quite poor, along with his balance. If you listen to some people he's this masterful boxer whose only downfall is his chin, as if dropping a decision to Lamont Peterson doesn't refute that slightly. He's lost his fights because he gets caught with big punches he doesn't see repeatedly and then keeps fighting the same way, great boxers don't tend to do that.

    Now granted his chin is poor and seems to have gotten even worse; but that aside, he fights so tense, reaches with his jab, backs straight up with his hands down, panics as soon as he's felt a punch and tries to brawl his way out of it every time. There are so many things he does which would get him killed against Mayweather it's frankly hilarious that people consider him the biggest threat because he's fast.

    Khan is world class when on the attack but his defence is terrible. Khan might look like he's in the fight for 4 or 5 rounds because he'll likely be beating Floyd on activity early on but then Floyd will catch him and stop him. Khan always starts fast and fades later. The Maidana & Peterson fights in particular are evidence of this. Floyd generally lets fighters like this have a couple of rounds before he starts picking them off. No way does Khan win this fight.

    I'd say the most accurate thing I've seen Khan do was throw a left and right hook to the body against Maidana. The majority of the time for me, Khan just "throws" quick combinations, without the ability to set punches up. He throws those quick combinations whether there is an opening for the punch to land or not. Thats why for me Khan hits a hell of a lot of Glove. He's not smart enough to be accurate like mayweather. Mayweather sets everything up like a Magician, and is almost certain each punch is going to land well. On fight night, we'll see how accurate Khan is. Thats if they actually fight. I'll bet the there is no contest what so ever regarding punch accuracy when the stats roll out round by round.
