... has anyone even considered Khan has a chance based on that?
Khan's losses came as a result of him getting bombed out of this atmosphere, but in the fight with Breidis Prescott we knew he was going to win on points if it went the distance.
The fight against Danny Garcia, he was winning it easily until he got bombed out and just could not recover.
Mayweather is by no means a bomber at this stage of his career. Mayweather can stun you, he can sure push you back and land shots, but he is not a bomber, one shot knock out kinda fighter.
I think it all depends on Khan and whether or not he wants this fight-wants it in terms of knowing and understanding that he can take a Mayweather punch and survive to land a few more shots of his own.
Khan has a chance. The chance is his accuracy. He is just as good as anyone in the division in terms of punch accuracy. His power is better than Mayweather's. His speed is slightly better than Mayweather's. Where Khan falls off is his chin and after the chin, his stamina and will to win erodes and he loses rounds and fights as a result.
Make no mistake: Khan has a chance. If Khan sticks to what Khan does best, Khan can win this fight.
If I were in the Khan camp, there are three things I would be working on: Speed, Accuracy AND mental fortitude on how to stay in the pocket when Mayweather stuns you with a shot you won't see coming. And, as we know Money Mayweather, he will tag you with shots you almost certainly won't see coming...
