    I don't like Mayweather because he's safety first boring fighter, but I also think he's a great fighter and I don't see how khan could beat him. Can please Khan fans tell me what advantages does Khan hold over Mayweather.
    We all know Floyd is past his prime , but he still does everything better than Khan, he has better chin , better defence , better timing ,he's more accurate smarter fighter with higher ring IQ ,he's just more versatile.
    If guys like hatton and maidana could outwrestle and rough Floyd up ,khan doesn't have that style and toughness ,in other words I don't believe khan has a chance to win chess match against May.

    Speed - about the same
    Timing - Floyd
    Power - about the same
    Chin- Floyd
    Ring IQ - Floyd
    Balance - Floyd
    Defense - floyd
    Experience - floyd
    Accuracy - floyd
    Size and reach - about the same

    Floyd is a woman-beating, woman-imprisoning, back-peddling, cherrypickin' ho... this is not news.

    Wow, after Floyd calls out Manny, now people are saying "Fight Khan!". Same **** happened with Guerrero. Floyd said he was gonna fight Alexander and people said "Fight Guerrero!"

    Be careful what you wish for

    How do you even defend this sh!t? Floyd rigged the damn poll to cherrypick Khan (his poll was the ONLY poll that had Khan winning), but when the outrage was insane, he chose Maidana. This was after Khan looked like sh!t against Molina and Diaz.

    I don't disagree that Floyd beats Khan, but Khan looked VERY GOOD against Devon. Granted, Devon sucks, but still, he made Khan look VERY GOOD.

    who said "fight guerrero"?
    Floyd fighting guerrero was an attempt to legitimize a scandalous '5 time world champion' as a solid opponent

    he was anything but

    Nobody f*cking said "fight Guerrero" gtfoh. No one wanted that fight. That was the WORST opponent Floyd has had in a long time.

    you can find a thread about any fighter with a profile and Floyd's name will be associated it
    I don't think many people thought Floyd was going to make the canelo fight as fast as he did. I think that would be a better example

    3rd biggest name in boxing now, love him or HATE him just take a look back at this forum for the past 7 days and you will see thread after thread about "Khan will get KO'ed" "Devon is too much for Khan" to "Devon was a bum" "Khan's chin will be exposed" "Khan will beat FMJ" etc etc

    Love him or hate him he is now a massive name in the game and deserves a shot at FMJ just as much as Roberto Guerro,Oritiz or Maidana did in fact only an idiot would disagree any of those 3 deserved it as much as Khan does.
