I started to think that it's kind of unfair dismissing Mayweather's opponents because he should easily beat them. Like WHO are these people, you know what I mean?

Also, you can't say Khan's a "match made in hell". The smart money is on a Mayweather KO. Khan won't see his angles and will be caught by counters several times. I just think that Khan, specifically early in the fight, will be able to take rounds with his ridiculous hand speed where Mayweather calms down at times. Khan's also in fantastic condition and will easily go the distance.

Also, I'm REALLY surprised that you mentioned Virgil. I and most people think he's been a terrible match for Khan. He's still completely "that offensive fighter who is open to shots". A big puncher is always going to be a MAJOR threat to Khan cause he leaves himself opened too much. If Khan could get his defence down, he'd maybe be the best fighter out there cause his offence is amazing. He needs to sign with an experienced trainer who knows how to help him defend though. When you look at Ward then Khan, you can tell Ward's just a special guy to defend like that. Then again, I wouldn't be as massive a Khan fan if he stopped fighting like he does so forget all of this haha.
