1.) he WILL prob. clock Maidana w/ that right-hand repeatedly, just blinding Maidana w/ overall speed and dexterity to where he is so puzzled that all he can do is just cover up in a shell like somebody who is just trying to not get hit by any more fire.
2.) he WILL prob. dominate Khan (after some fast/competitive rounds) to the point where Khan gets hit w/ huge shots and spends himself early in the fight (similar to how hatton did) - setting up a brutal KO
3.) he WILL prob. just out-box, and bully the smaller Pacquiao to where he subdues him like he did Judah, after some early moments of adversity, and ends up just keeping lil Pac-man at the end of his jab en route to a rather technically/physically dominant UD over him.
not just trill, but realism. gotta Salute it.

I expect 3-4 rounds of some of the best footwork and handspeed we've seen in a fight in some time. Good Amir Khan rounds are some of the best displays of skill in boxing.
Bad Amir Khan rounds are him going nighty night.

in that fight and also in the fights after. He has the skill...you can tell he's dedicated to his craft. Unfortunately you can't teach a chin and he damn sure don't got it.
But i respect the fact that he's not afraid to mix it up but he gotta stay away from brawling. Definitely a fun fighter to watch.

>i don't know about bullied by bigger fighters though
true indeed - he hasn't really ever been bullied by bigger guys (save for 2 minute of his fight w/ Margarito).. and that's remarkable because he's consistently fought bigger guys in virtually every fight for the past few years.
Against Mayweather though - I see size playing a significant factor in how well Floyd will be able to handle Pac's power and ultimately walk him down late in the fight. Just my opinion.

26. "I agree that size will be a clear advantage for floyd b/c he's the faste..." In response to Reply # 25
Pac has fought bigger fighters but his speed negated that. With floyd having both the size, speed and defensive advantage that will make Pac a moving (but still sitting duck) every second of the fight.
And yeah I think it ends like all floyd fights: Floyd picking Pac apart by round 5-6 and Pac getting pot shotted at will. His offense is his best weapon but it plays into Floyd's lair.
27. "naw it's been years since we've seen floyd deal with hand speed" In response to Reply # 26
not going to make any assumptions about floyd being faster or being able to handle mannys speed at this point he struggled like shit in the first half of that zab fight mainly because he was facing some one with comparable hand speed he's been fighting fighters with average to below avg. hand speed every since that's why the khan fight is kind of intriguing (only reason actually)
28. "Khan/Floyd would end up like Prince/Barrera " In response to Reply # 27
Amir always seemingly wins the early rounds w/ his boxing skills(sans the Prescott bout) but he can't take a shot & gets picked apart once the opponent figures him out. I could see Floyd feeling him out for about 4 rounds then picking him apart and eventually TKO'ing him.
I can see Pacquiao going out like Mosley or Hearns....basically come out for the kill from the bell & hurt Floyd but then get KO'd in the early rounds or shut out the rest of the way.
Maidana would get his ass handed to him just like Robert Guerrero......remember when folks thought he had a chance because he beat another over-hyped fighter who was suppose to challenge Floyd....yeah, wack ass Berto!
19. "I actually don't think it's all business" In response to Reply # 16
not as much as he portrays it to be.
If it is all business then he would have made the pacquiao fight by now - since that would clearly generate the biggest numbers/$ - and likely break all records earning Floyd his biggest payday yet.
So there are some things that aren't all business when it comes to Floyd.

14. "excellent promotional move" In response to Reply # 0
those could be 3 potential opponents for his next fight we all know it'll probably be khan but could you imagine a floyd vs. maidana fight? that could do 1.5MM buys imo, probably more (1.7?) i'm hoping that's the next fight
22. "this is why floyd should take it, lol" In response to Reply # 17
like when canelo got exposed by trout and floyd popped up out of no where wanting that fight suddenly after canelo had been begging for it for a year smart. make a fight while the opponent is most hyped and risk is minimal

-The Knicks’ coaching search still includes a lone frontrunner, Kurt Rambis, whose qualifications for the position include a strong relationship with Jackson and a willingness to take the job.
