    At one time these guys had the fastest hands in boxing.

    I disagree that khan has faster hands than pac he doesnt have power behind his shots like pac does when throwing in combination. Im sorry but throwing shoe shine punches fast while throwing combinations fast with power are not the same thing. You don't think for a second that if pac threw shoe shine combos he wouldnt look like one of the fastest fighters in boxing history?

    He was also quicker than Pacquiao with superior skills gave him an absolute boxing lesson. Jab was outstanding and kept catching him with the right cross through the pipe. Of course Mayweather was quicker and better.

    Khan ticks all the boxes in terms of attributes to trouble Floyd. Height, reach, range, hand speed, foot speed, good jab, also keeps his punches simple.

    I notice one of the Mayweather haters is claiming Floyd ducked Khan! Gave me one of the best laughs I have had in ages. There is no cure for stupidity.

    Pacquaio couldn’t find his range versus Mayweather. When boxers can’t find their range, speed and power go completely out the window

    Floyd has beaten much better fighters than a Khan with these your so called advantages. Let me educate you Khan is a straight up and down fighter with no special effects! I have noticed Khan never tries to avenge his losses does he?

    Perhaps he could not do what he wanted to because of Floyd’s superior skills and we know for a fact Pacquiao is 10 X a better fighter than Khan could ever be as is Canelo, Oscar De La Hoya and Shane Mosley.

    That logic doesn’t mean much. Castillo given Mayweather a good fight. Castillo wasn’t anything special

    Yes he was actually something special when he was the best Lightweight in the world and world champion. The fact Floyd beat him twice does not diminish his standing.

    I'm not a fan of Floyd's either, but I believe you to be 100% correct here.

    People always say this. When (Years) was JLC the best LW? After losing to Floyd, he went on a nice little run, has three good names. Was it at that point?

    Or after he was KO'd by Chico, and came in over weight to get "revenge" in the rematch?

    Or was it after that, when he beat no one of note, and got flattened by Hatton?
