    You have no place here, get lost back to where you came from.

    Khan never adapted to the pros properly.
    His best game is in the first few rounds. He lays it all bare for all to see, no surprises, nothing. Just like Guerrero vs Thurman, Thurman just figured it out and Guerrero was just doing the same things.

    If he had adapted to professionals, he would have formulated gameplans over 12, incorporated traps rather than merely attempt to overwhelm.

    Not the slickest boxer on the planet. He was being a pretender. A mere con!

    Yes, I've been quite clear about it too. Peterson outboxed Khan.

    1. Lamont Peterson, arguably the best "boxer puncher" Khan faced, boxed on even terms with him....(nowhere near good a boxer as Floyd, although I also think Peterson would be Floyd's toughest fight ever, stylistically, that's another matter though). You guys keep saying Amir is faster than Floyd therefore would outbox him. Khan isn't really even a great boxer in the classical sense. He throws in combination then kinda spins outta the way (same move every time). This is the reason why even crude punchers eventually time and stop him. You really think Floyd couldn't, with his speed and timing. Floyd has the best timing of any fighter in this generation.

    2. Floyd hits far harder than you guys claim. Everyone (except Maidana) has admitted this already, every fighter he has fought says he hit harder than they thought he would. Floyd has more than enough power to keep anyone honest especially Khan.

    the fallacy that Khan can outbox Floyd needs to stop. When has Floyd ever been outboxed, stopped, dropped, pummeled? But a light hitter with sub par skills like Khan can? Give me a break.

    Floyd would definitely time Khan.

    If Floyd were as featherfisted as people say, his opponents would have just walked him down.

    Even if Floyd isn't a hard puncher, you still don't want to get hit by him.

    Khan was a good amateur, as a pro he still fights like amateur.
