    That hand speed, dayum! He destroyed Canelo for four straight rounds, took him to the Khan boxing school. Then the weight advantage took over. Got knocked out by the stronger man who weighed more, simple as that.

    But how would Floyd have dealt with that hand speed and the reach of Khan. It's plain and simple he ducked him. He even fought pacquaio just to duck Khan. Floyd ain't got the power to KO Khan so how on earth does he beat him when Khan has faster hands and much better combos and better reach.

    Floyd would pay a visit to the Khan boxing school if they ever fought.

    Floyd would KO him jsut the same, but later. Khan doesn't have the stamina or mental capacity to stay focussed so he will always be caught by a supreme boxer

    Yeah brought Alvarez down to 152 AND put in a rehydration clause. A bit different to what Amir khans just had to deal with.

    Khan is to easy to hit. He wouldn't win 4 rounds against Mayweather.

    People also claimed Pac would destroy Floyd with his speed and we saw who the faster guy really was.

    He's never had 'speed' just anxious amateur panic which leads to him getting flattened against elite fighters.

    You're right it was different, Canelo came to the ring 30 pound bigger than Mayweather and not aganist Khan.

    Like hell it is.

    Simple fact is Mayweather doesn't put the mus**** on his punches to lay Khan out like that.
    Khan's handspeed tonight was well faster than Mayweather's, especially today's version of Mayweather. That's the reason Mayweather avoided Khan like the plague
    Its the reason why Mayweather fought Maidana, despite Mayweather setting up a poll that told him they wanted to see him vs Khan.

    Khan's height and speed would have given Mayweather severe problems.
    I'm not saying Mayweather loses to Khan, but its a fight I think he needed to cement his legacy as far as I'm concerned.

    Personally, I needed to see what Mayweather's skillset did vs a quicker, faster, and younger fighter.
    We never saw that from Mayweather. In recent years we saw him fight nothing but fighter well below his speed level.

    Mayweather ducked Amir Khan, he was afraid to go up against height and speed, its plain to see!!!
