    the reason some people think khan has a good shot against mayweather is because khan has a lotta speed. mayweather has fought a buncha latinas in his last 6 fights or so, all known for their ruggedness and aggressive style, but none of which are great speedsters...so, the thinking is, fmj must be fighting these guys to avoid opponents with speed and slick boxing. but if you look at fmj's track record, he generally does very well against the fast, mobile classical boxer too...judah, corley, ssm, mitchell....floyd dominated them all. yeah, judah, ssm and corley had their moments against floyd...but then again, so did castillo and cotto and neither one of those guys is very fast. even though floyd fought castillo with one hand the point is, all those guys can fight. khan on the other hand, sucks...his record speaks to his mediocrity. his speed wouldn't help him anymore than ssm's speed helped him against forrest, winky and floyd. and in fact, his liabilities (soft chin, defensive lapses, tendency to flail) would all but guarantee he gets ktfo.

    The reason why "people don't realize that Khan will beat Matweather" is...

    that he won't.

    Floyd wins this one comfortably, the better question is:

    Amir Khan vs Keith Thurman

    Addidentally chose king khan. I think floyd would make khan look a lot slower than he actuLly is

    I don't think Floyd would have TOO much trouble with Khan.

    If Khan lets Alexander win 1 round against him then i'll give this vote to Floyd

    Mayweather won't fight Khan... and thats how we know Khan beats him

    I fully expect Floyd to continue feasting on slow, taco eating plodders and retire having ducked both Khan and Pacquiao

    Khan doesn't have the ring IQ to beat Floyd. You need more than speed to beat him.

    Comparing their fights with Maidana you'd be hard pressed to guess which one is globally considered p4p#1

    Yeah you need a punch. Khan ate Maidanas best shots and stayed vertical, Floyds aint troubling him with those feather dusters.

    Those are ban words right there, you are saying Maidana and Canelo Alvarez who are both Latino, are taco eaters? Maidana is from Argentina, he doesn't eat Tacos. Canelo Alvarez possibly eats tacos. You cant insult fighters and call them taco eaters based on their ethnicities, shame on you:nono

    Khan isn't some master boxer. He couldn't adapt to Garcia's hooks, and lost rounds against shot Julio Diaz.

    Khan poses some style problems but he's way too flawed to actually beat Floyd.
