    Let see Pac dominated Chris Algieri and Yet Khan went life and death with Chris to win decision.

    Floyd Dominated and out boxed Carnelo and yet Carnelo just knocked Kahn flatter then 2 day old beer!

    Khan simply didn't deserve a shot. And yes he would have given Mayeather a few tricky rounds as he adapts to the speed of Khan, but no way on earth he ever beats Mayweather. When you have the best counter puncher in the game against a fighter who has now been KO'ed by being countered on 3 occasions then the outcome is inevitable.

    Does the terms Styles Makes Fights and Triangle theories don't work in boxing, mean anything to you.

    And YES they ducked Kahn. Both Pac and FLoyd's PPV history went out with a whimper when they could have easily hit the 1 million mark in their last fight facing Kahn instead of Berto and Bradley.:deal

    Yeah Because Floyd doesn't use distance or have body movement. Nope he would just be a sitting target for Khan's speed. Please.

    Mayweather would make Khan miss like he does with everyone.

    Exactly!! I'm not saying Khan will win but, there is a chance you would see Floyd chase Khan for a late round KO. Speed vs speed is always a good fight.

    Pacquiao was supposed to have the speed.

    Speed isn't enough. Floyd would work Khan out within 3 rounds and then comfortably beat him.

    Those quick patter punches Khan throws do no damage.

    Exactly!! Speed vs speed. And Mayweather at WW is not a puncher.

    Yeah it shows just how in denial they are. It’s one thing to believe Floyd can beat Khan, but it’s another to think that Khan poses no threat to Floyd.

    Khan clearly has the speed and skills to trouble Floyd, and unlike Canelo, at this age Floyd doesn’t really have that much KO power so chances are he’s not knocking Khan out like Canelo just did. As we know Floyd is content to just go the distance and win a decision. That’s hard to do vs Khan because Khan has the reach and the speed to win rounds. (vs anybody) It’s obvious that at the very least Khan would give Floyd trouble. How much trouble is debatable, but certainly Khan would NOT be an easy fight for Floyd.

    It’s undeniably a great stylistic matchup. It would be very fun to watch Floyd try to handle Khan.

    Yes, and does the term NOT enough skill mean anything to you!?
    The fact the Pac, and Floyd worked out with fighters that Damn near killed Khan tell me every thing I need to know.

    All Khan brings to the Table is Speed and thats it! His only defense his movement and that become severely compromised once he stops moving ! Khan has looked Average at best against B level fighters ! I mean really!! Julio Diaz almost took him out and he is no where near the speed and Skill of Floyd or Pac!
