    What about the gap in technical skills and ring IQ?

    Lets be real Mayweather DOES NOT have the power to KO Khan at 147..

    Khan has a great chance over 12 rounds to win..

    Khan showed great handspeed even at 155..

    Khan still has bad defense.

    No he doesn't he gets outboxed and beaten up over 12 if anything. Khan has nothing for pbf.

    That's an opinion written on paper, the greats prove it in the ring.
    Mayweather needed to fight an available contender that had a height and speed advantage on him. Like Leonard fought Hearns.
    Leonard proved in the ring he could summon that "it" inside him when the going got rough and the physical advantages were not in his favor.

    Khan is no Hearn, but he was the only available fighter with physical advantages to summon every aspect of Mayweather boxing skill level.
    Mayweather regected that challenge and has always chosen the easier routes.
    Don't give me this **** saying otherwise, Mayweather himself has admitted to it. He fights and does whats good for himself and the fans don't have a say in any of it.
    Mayweather is even on record advising Canelo he doesn't need GGG!

    Class dismissed!

    How did you score Pea-DLH?

    Hurtado schooled Whitaker, absolutely embarrassed Whitaker using foot and handspeed.

    If you want to blame crack do it, but that same Whitaker on "crack" then goes on in his next fight and according to many outboxed a prime Delahoya!
    Hurtado embarrassed the same Whitaker DLH fought with the only advantage Hurtado had was speed. Boxistically, Whitaker was much more skilled, yet he got embarrassed by the speed factor!
    Style make fights! :deal

    Yea why don't you Floyd fans tell us why Floyd never fought Amir khan? That would've been a very lucrative fight. It would've done better on ppv than berto, Ortiz, Guerrero, maidana 1, maidana 2, am I missing anymore?

    You're wasting your time.

    List Floyd's opponents in order of ability.

    List Floyd's toughest opponents.

    Where would Marcos Maidana feature on both of those lists?

    He'd be way down on the first one, but high on the second one.

    Haven't seen pea-oscar in years don't remember even still he was cracked up in both fights. Yeah hurtado gave a cracked up faded pea trouble but you left out one thing. He still lost. Khan isn't that good to be honest I have no idea why you think he's some sort of measuring stick to greatness. Pbf fought and beat Judah who unlike khan had the ability to beat pbf to the punch on top of that he was a southpaw and more of a natural counter puncher than khan he also hit harder. Zab stylistically was a much harder fight for pbf than khan would be.

    He didn't deserve it. He just got knocked out by Garcia then went life and death with diaz ffs. Maidana was far more deserving after beating broner.
