If not then he better hope he doesn't face Khan. Mayweather running may work against other boxers but Khan is far too quick and he'll knock him the f**k out. You read it here first.

Is it really most though? I get that people don't like the jujitsu part of it, it can be boring, however that is up to opinion like most things, but don't just make up stats if it ain't true.

I have participated in both and coached boxing for a long period .............................................I was cage fighting here 20 years ago when it was underground was mainly between minders doormen and members of clubs good way to make a bit of coin..................................I admit I do not watch much of it but it was then and for the most when it became mainstream mainly grappling that won majority of fights this may of changed? I don't watch it anymore I don't see much boxing either I am mearly stating what I experienced from the past.

Easy win for Mayweather. As I said previously Khan's chin is so frail that even Floyd has a good chance of stopping him; a few sharp straights and Amir will be on queer street.
This will not be competitive, people hark on about Khan's speed but everyone knows timing negates speed and Mayweather's timing is impeccable - he's like a metronome.
Floyd is the ultimate businessman though and from that perspective this fight makes sense, he knows all the Brits will get gassed and buy the PPV which means more money for him.
Easy fight + Big PPV numbers = winning on both counts
