Floyd Mayweather Jr. is going to have problem than anybody expect, if he decides to pick Great Britain welterweight champion Amir Khan as his next opponent for his May 3 showdown at MGM Grand Garden in Las Vegas, Nevada, according to Showtime Boxing analyst Steve Farhood.

In an interview with HustleBoss, Farhood said Khan will give Mayweather all kinds of troubles because his fighting style is similar to Oscar De La Hoya's approach when the Golden Boy Promotions top boss fought the Grand Rapids native in 2007.

"I think Khan has a style, being tall, being rangy, and being very fast, that could give Floyd a lot of trouble," Farhood said via hustleboss. "The blueprint for how to fight Floyd was created by Oscar De La Hoya years ago. Rangy, tall guy with a good jab. That's the way Khan will fight. I don't think Floyd's a big enough puncher anymore. I don't think it's as easy fight as many people think."

De La Hoya nearly defeated the universally recognized pound-for-pound king in that 12-round slugfest, but Money May escaped with a split decision victory in the action-packed WBC light middleweight showdown.

Standing at 5-foot-9, Khan certainly has the length and the range to fight Mayweather while throwing punches from a distance. The Briton also has quickness in both hands and feet, and agile enough to move side-to-side with ease.

However, the biggest question mark on Khan is his durability, particularly his fragile chin. He has been floored several times throughout his career (against Danny Garcia and Breidis Prescott), and it's obviously a big concern for promoters, who wants to give fans an entertaining competitive fight with Mayweather.

24 Boxing News analyst Scott Gilfoid even considered Farhood's comments laughable, stressing that Khan stands no chance to pull off an upset or even finish the 12-round fight against a boxer of Mayweather's caliber.

"I just can't imagine Khan staying on his feet after getting hit with a hook that he doesn't see coming from Mayweather. If former lightweight Julio Diaz was able to put Khan on the canvas, then you can bet that Mayweather will be able to do the same thing again and again and again until the referee chooses to stop the fight," Gilfoid said.

Gilfoid added that comparing Khan's boxing style to Oscar De La Hoya's performance against Money May few years ago does not make sense at all. It's all because Mayweather did not even give his full 100 percent as he opted to carry De La Hoya in the fight out of respect.
