    Diaz dropped him. So are you saying diaz hits harder than floyd? People always claim he can't punch but no opponent throws caution to the wind and walks through him

    The only thing last night showed me was what I already knew, and its that Mayweather would have Khan's timing down by round 3, and would catch him with right hands all night.

    Khan can't beat Floyd in a fight. They're on completely different levels. Khan throws a lot of flurries, but most of his shots aren't that accurate or with purpose. It's punches in bunches. He also can take a punch a lot better than some people give him credit for, his issue is when he gets tagged with shots he doesn't see coming. That's what dropped him in the Prescott, Garcia and Diaz fights. That's also what got him hurt in the Algieri fight.

    Floyd doesn't have 1 punch KO power, but he has more than enough pop to hurt Khan. He's the best counterpuncher in the game, probably the best counterpuncher of the last 20+ years and he has ATG timing and accuracy to his shots. What handicaps Khan is there's a certain routine to his punches. He doesn't throw much variation on his shots, and that includes when he's throwing combos.

    As the poster mentioned above, Khan might look good for a few rounds, but once Floyd has figured out the perfect distance to fight him in and really gets his timing down with Khan, it's a wrap at that point. They're completely different fighters on different levels of professional boxing. Khan would probably go the distance, but he's lucky he didn't meet a younger version of FLoyd, say at 140 lbs. The Pretty boy version of Mayweather would definitely stop him the moment he got him hurt.

    Well I don't remember Floyd ever fighting anyone who was known for walking through punches.

    However they negotiated alvarez accepted it didn't come on top furthermore why should floyd give up thirty something lbs. Canelo should fight at his natural weight and 155 lbs isn't it. Fighters should be weighing in the morning of the fight instead of day before so that way fights are on more even

    With you DKSAB haters it's always about what "they" going to do to Floyd yet you conveniently overlook what Floyd is going to do to them. In y'all minds somehow Floyd is going to show up to the fight without his superior skills, technique, IQ, and talent! If someone of Khan's feeble skills could beat Floyd it would of happened already

    Pbf haters do that all the time it's always the best version of his opponents or best case scenarios for them and it's always the worst version of pbf and the worst case scenarios for him. Like I always say wishful thinking is all they have.

    Floyd would never KO Khan like that. He cant punch at all. In the last 9 years h's only had like 2 KO's
