    I don't know where people get the idea that Khan can outbox Floyd.

    Khan might not be flat-footed, but his footwork is garbage.

    True, but his hand speed would give Floyd nightmares.

    Until Floyd times him, then it's over.

    I didn't realise Judah, Mosely and Pacqiauo had southern American ancestry.

    Only slow ass Danny Garcia is capable of that, not Floyd.

    Judah was pre-money
    Mosely was like 18 months past his best "Recent" performance
    Pac had a shoulder injury

    Also, Khan leaves himself WIDE open when he throws his little combos.

    Notice how people go on about Khan's speed, as if that makes up for his many flaws.

    Do you think Khan would win?

    Khan can't outbox Floyd.

    Except Floyd would hit Khan after his flurries.

    Khan's defense is terrible.

    It's a myth that you need to hit hard to trouble Khan. Algieri made him look average at points.

    What happens when Floyd counters Khan? Floyd may not hit hard, but it's foolish to keep doing something that gets you countered. Floyd would lower his work rate.

    Khan didn't even look that fast against Algieri. Maybe he's starting to slow down.
