    Khan didn't look that good on the back foot against Algieri.

    He also has no inside game.

    Khan is one-dimensional.

    No he isn't.

    I already said Khan has no inside game, and doesn't look comfortable on the back foot. He also has poor defense, no ring IQ, and is predictable.

    This is the COMPLETE truth:
    Floyd is avoiding Khan because Khan runs his mouth too much AND undoubtedly because Khan is both a very good pure boxer and a legit stylistic threat to Floyd.
    Amir beat Maidana much more convincingly than Mayweather did, and he dispatched of Judah within 5 rounds.

    People like to troll Khan because Khan is annoying out of the ring, and because he's a Muslim and of ****stani descent.

    Khan isn't a threat to Floyd.

    People don't like Khan because he's completely delusional about how good he is. He thinks he can be #1 P4P when he struggled against Algieri.

    Algieri and Danny Garcia were able to time Khan.

    Yes he is, for the reasons I mentioned. Sure, Khan has a terrible chin but he's a threat to anyone, hence why he's spoken of in the same tier as Thurman, Brook and Porter.

    Khan also has no ring IQ.

    He's only a decent pure boxer. He makes amateur mistakes.

    Floyd would turn Khans volume down and have him struggling to land even 1 shot let alone 4 or 5. Floyd can put Amir on the back foot and embarrass him

    It seems to me that Khan has managed to convince a bunch of gullible idiots that he's some great technician.

    His flaws are obvious to those of us who actually know about boxing.

    It is fear because why would a guy who fights for money fight Berto for way less $ than Khan $ if Khan is just as easy a victory for Mayweather.
    If people cant see by now that floyd only fights slow flat footed fighters and ducked prime pac for that reason waited until he looked like he was on the downturn of his speed and ability.Then i give up, have your false prophet I will never give fraud mayweather atg timing of when he fights people credit.

    Khan is fast, but that's about it.

    It wouldn't take long for Floyd to start timing him, since Khan is so predictable.

    I don't think that fear motivated Floyd's decision to fight Berto instead of Khan. I just think that he had a choice of who he wanted to bless with some money and he would rather see Berto with the cash than Khan. Khan got a big mouth and that's what cost him the fight, and the payday. This is Floyd's last fight and it's about closing out a brilliant career and not that macho shiiit. If that were the case, he could have fought Thurman or Brook.

    If Floyd fought and beat Khan, you people would just say that Floyd fought a guy who struggled against Algieri.

    With his pot-shotting? He doesn't even throw combos anymore.
