    I can't believe people think he could beat Floyd.

    I'm skeptical of whether anyone seriously believes that for real. :eyebrow2:

    Khan vs. Brook would be a pick em (or I'd favor Brook), can't see how a serious argument can be made for him beating Mayweather.

    Speed? Blah. Judah was fast (as fast if not faster).

    Controlling with the jab? Nope. The jab is the least developed/used facet of PBF's game and he could still outjab Khan all day every day.

    Some People mistake khans amateur in and out rinse and repeat pitter patter fly in you're face bugging the fek out of you flurries as being something great, just like khan believes it...

    I suppose some just see him running about and throwing fast flurries for a few and think boy look at him go... lol

    Good to see plenty can see through the bull here though....

    I think Khan is even more tailor made for Brook than he would be for Mayweather.

    A bigger, stronger fighter, with a better jab, very good timing, very good power, and a good finisher would spell doom for Khan.

    I think he'd stop Khan even on Khan's best day quicker than Canelo did.

    I'd say all of that applies to Mayweather except perhaps "very good power (at welter)".

    With all the talk of him being a bad stylistic match up, Khan was probably the only top welterweight who Mayweather could beat by stoppage.

    Well, power is Khan's biggest Achilles heel

    ...could see PBF stopping Rose - and possibly also Collazo, and Ortiz legitimately in a rematch.

    Yeah, I meant guys like Thurman, Brook, Bradley, Garcia by top WWs.

    Ah, okay, not "top 40". I never considered Amir to be a real "top welter"..

    A fighter who after having suffered back to back losses to Peterson and Garcia decided to take on weak comp in hopes of a Mayweather payday. Scared to lose he avoided a real fight against Kell Brook along with the rest of the top fighters at WW and instead sold himself out to Canelo because he thought no one would be able to hold that loss against him. He now spends his days drooling into his bowl of curry while pitty patting his son Devon with those fast hands.
