...stops him from repeatedly smashing his face in by quitting on his stool?

Nah your dreaming.
Khans defence is awful, and he can't stick to a gameplan, Broner would sucker him in and knock him out with solid, accurate counters.

Khan is better at running aimlessly around the ring yes.
Handspeed, i'll grant you that but he's nowhere near as effective with what he has, rather he just throws barrages with zero accuracy.

Khan's defence relies solely on using quick feet to get in and out or to move around the ring, Broner has next to zero movement of foot, if there's on fighter Khan's "defence" would actually be a benefit against it's Broner. Khan UD12 in Calzaghe-Lacy style imo. Unless teaming up with Hunter is all a big ploy to get him to rely on an inside game that will never work as he's not strong and has a glass jaw in order to sacrifice him to Broner of course

He's better at movement full stop, including but not limited to running round the ring :lol: He wont have to be accurate, people act like he hasnt been at world level, his physical gift of blistering speed and amateur in-out with combos style may be basic, but it works against certain fighters very well, Broner's style would not suit imo, styles make fights and if I was Khan I would push for this big time

WTF
I mean seriously.
Khan has never Lacy'd anyone and Broner is the more skilled fighter here.
If I see DRAMATIC improvements in Khan on saturday night, then i'll reconsider my stance, I don't hate the guy

Admittedly he could get caught with a Garcia style timed shot against someone whos planted their feet and just got a measure of him, but that could hapen against anyone, and I doubt Broner will be a big puncher at welter, so Khan may as well roll the dice here

Yeah, fighters that don't punch with him when he stops running for a few seconds and throws. That's not Broner.
If a stationary, slow Danny Garcia can spark Khan out, then Broner certainly can.

I was being dramatic there on purpose, but tbh he has a good chance of winning wide. Broner is a very good fighter, perhaps better, perhaps not, but he has very few advantages here, he's a stand still counter-puncher who is slow and has relied on size advantage to KO opponents. He could KO Khan Garcia style if he times him and Khan gets cocky and hasnt learnt his lesson (distinct possibility) but Khan's style to me would be favourable here (if he keeps his hands up), improving to a Hunter style will not help Khan, especially not against Broner who will like a worse, weaker, more fragile version of Andre Ward trying to maul on the inside with him. Khan would be better off throwing shitloads of combos whilst moving constantly or just follow DPDL's blueprint of "box and move"
Sure Khan could get knocked out, but he could against anyone, the risk is the same as ever but the reward is great if he wins, he should push for this

But if he moves Broners on a ten second delay to catch up with him, the risk is there sure, but he's been in with bigger punchers and got through, he may as well go for this fight.
Broner is more stationary than Garcia

I'll admit the risk reward is good for Khan, maybe he should take it.
I'm not writing him off completley, but I think he seriously needs 3-4 "easy" fights under hunter before going into a fight like that.

You don't need to be a big puncher to knock Khan out of his stride. Khan-Broner would lead to Amir's third loss, probably inside distance if you ask me. I realize that no one did, but I've said it now. I sort of like Khan, but he just isn't as good as he thinks he is, and is not good enough to trouble Broner. Khan would look flashily fast for a round or two, then Broner would make the necessary adjustments then make Khan look profoundly ordinary before stopping him.

Khans problem is he has speed and nothing else
He never developed an all round game to go with it, if he did he'd be a fantastic fighter.
