A proposed matchup between pound for pound king Floyd Mayweather vs Amir Khan could become a reality, but prove a nightmare for Khan. Normally with a guy like Khan I would say that he is looking for at least one more big payday but I actually think Khan believes he can beat Mayweather. He believes that his speed and power will be enough to upset Mayweather, but how many other fighters thought that same thing? Khans defense has more holes than a kitchen strainer and a weak chin at that, speed and power is not going to get it done here. Mayweather is not Peterson or Prescott, both of whom beat Khan. Mayweather is not just a champion, or even just a multi-division champion, he is the greatest fighter of our generation, the pound for pound king. Khan is delusional if he honestly think that his amateur style has any hope of defeating Mayweather
What Should Happen
This is easy, Mayweather will do what he has done to opponents for years, he will beat Khans ass. Floyd will likely start out boxing Khan, letting Khan come to him, throw wild shots. Floyd will be getting his timing while Khan thinks that he is getting to Mayweather. Now, it all ends when Mayweather decides its going to end. Once he starts countering Khan it is only a matter of time before that trademark weak chin gets tagged and he awkwardly goes down, and gets up on spaghetti legs, dances around and eventually gets stopped.
Result: Mayweather KO
What Could Happen
Lots of things could happen, it is boxing, but one thing that will not happen is Khan winning this fight. He has no hope, even in the could section. But, for the sake of argument, lets say that Floyd has aged considerably by the time they fight, hasn't trained and has developed cataracts which enable him to see blurs of light. Maybe, just maybe then Amir Khan might have a slight edge in the fight, but would still likely lose the fight. But in the event that all those things happen before these two get in the ring, then I would say it would be a close decision for Khan.
Result: Khan UD (assuming Floyd has cataracts, has aged 50 years, hasn't trained)
What I Think Will Happen
Simply put, what should happen. Another spanking.
Result: Mayweather KO
