    The win over Canelo elevated him high into the upper stratosphere of some posters ATG pound for pound list. So where would a win over Pak1stani's finest see him ascend to? Top 10? Top 5?

    Who knows, but it would make a nice addition to his resume. Another champion defeated, and other title belt on his resume.

    Khan is a good fighter, but this fight for floyd is for financial reasons not legacy boosting... It would need to be a one sided beatdown which leads to a KO win for it to really have a noticible effect on his atg standing

    Wonder where the win for Bresidis Prescott is all time after he knocked out Khan first :think I beleive it elevated him in the top 20 all time i'm sure Floyd beating him moves him right behind Srr..

    It would make a real strong case for him being #1 all time.

    It'd be a good win. Khan being KOed twice... just shut himself back far. Needs a couple wins first.

    Fighting Khon would bring Floyd's ranking down.

    he drops a few notches -as he did with ORtiz- for fighting a mismatch and trying to sell it as something special

    It wouldn't affect his standing at all, Khan is not a deserving opponent. To enhance his legacy he needs to fight Bradley, Pac, Broner, Garcia or a decent MW. I rate him highly as it is though.

    If he can even get past 12 rounds with Khan, I think we will have to crown him the GOAT

    A win over Khan would be similar to Ortiz and Guerrero, maybe even worse. Cut the desperate trolling.

    Hard to say since he retired and came back when the task of cleaning up ww n Jr ww was easier.
