and thats amir khan! To be honest I cant believe im saying this as I dont really rate him due to no matter how much he dominates a boxer he ends up on his harris due to his glass chin BUT with floyd not really having the one punch to worry khan, I can see him giving him all kinds of trouble and dare I say it, could make him look old!
Against garcia for example he made the guy look like a journey man before he walked onto one (story of khans career) dont see it in this fight if it happens, it would be made for khan!
Lets be honest alvarez was overated, struggling past ryan rhodes and mattew hatton along the way in his padded out unbeaten run! He was never going to give floyd a fight, to slow and to negative, it was always going to be a rubbish fight the total opposite to if khan gets a shot!
Lets just hope he gets past devon first!
Theres one guy who will beat floyd.....

Khan wouldn't even be able to beat Brook. Khan just doesn't impress me at all, even in the few decent fights he has won he's been lucky at times to hang on etc. Even vs McCloskey, McCloskey yes McCloskey was starting to cause him all sorts of problems before the doctor ridiculously stopped it

Nah Khan aint the guy to beat FMJ, tbh he strikes me as the perfect opponent for Mayweather to knock out, which is saying something................he may be quicker than Mayweather but also lacks a big punch, Mayweather is all about going backwards and he has a very good defence the moment he gets hurt/has the slightest chance of getting hurt.
Someone who will give Mayweather problems is a dirty boxer who likes to fight on the inside and get Mayweather to the ropes and unload...........i have no idea who the boxer is but it isnt Khan

I think that's a bit harsh. Khan has decent power, not concussive perhaps but good enough. As far as I can see Khan has one problem and that's punch resistance. Don't get me wrong, it's a pretty massive issue to have but I think people get carried away negatively with Amir.
That said, can't argue with the view that he'd lose to FMJ. Just think it might be closer than some think, I'd guess at a 3-4 round margin UD.

Sterling i may not have fully explained my point - re reading it now doesnt quite as much sense as i remember. What i was saying is i Khan doesnt have the 1 shot stopping power which i think is very important for stopping FMJ, as the moment Mayweather feels threatened he does his best turtle impression goes full defensive and backs up and sticks out the jab.

That's fair, Khan is very unlikely land one punch that rocks FMJ enough to stop him putting up effective defences.

I think the type of fighter who would have a chance of beating Mayweather must be quick handed and be able to throw a lot of punches.
Khan has these qualities so I can see where the OP is coming from. However, what he is overlooking is Khan's porous defence and chinnyness.
Mayweather, would undoubtedly land some flush right hand counters and Amir would soon be doing the chicken legs dance.
Offensively though he could give Floyd something to think about in terms of his ability to throw very fast combinations.

A Tommy Hearns kind of talent can beat Mayweather. Someone tall with a long reach who has one punch KO power and a great jab. The Mayweather's said it themselves that you need a excellent jab to have a chance.
