    Meldrick would slice him up.

    Too much speed.

    Khan is stretchered out for emergency medical assistance in about four rounds. You really don't like Amir, huh X?

    Very simple way of looking at it: how does Khan do with the guys Meldrick fought?

    Thinking about Chavez/Khan makes me hurt all over.

    Even though Khan wasn't quite as good a puncher as Chavez, he would catch Taylor much more with his speed and probably force a stoppage in about ten rounds. Khan was nearly as quick but with better reach and since Taylor wasn't a puncher, weakness of Khan's chin wouldn't come to play

    The problem with Khan is he doesn't understand how counterpunching works.

    Taylor was ultra fast...he'd counter Khan into "bolivian."

    You know the saying..it's usually the punch you don't see that hurts you the most. In Khan's case it's the punches he does and doesn't see that hurts him the most.

    If Khan had a CHIN and at least average boxing IQ you might have a point.

    Taylor by KO 5-6....Taylor might not have been a puncher, but he certainly punches harder than Danny Garcia...

    Speed is power.

    Taylor had oodles of speed.

    Unfortunately for Khan it doesn't take speed nor power to knock him out.

    Ugo's recent transition into trolling is a development I watch with interest :popcorn::partie:

    Ugo isn't being serious.

    And I agree that Mel stops Khan within 6.

    Amir would be competitive in the first round. After that, it'd be ALLLLL Mel.

    Taylor would beat the fuck out of that boy. Probably the most underrated fighter of the least 20-30 years
