    His height, reach, range, good jab, fast hands, fast feet, fights on the back foot, throws only simple punches, good volume punching and intensity.

    I doubt very much Floyd in his mid 30’s to late 30’s would have the power knock Amir Khan out.

    Khan has completely outboxed some good boxers in career. Kotelnik, Devon Alexander, Paulie Malinaggie, Zab Judah.

    Khan deserved the fight against Floyd. Floyd chose Maidana but Khan had already beaten him. Khan deserved the fight in my opinion.

    I'm sorry but when it comes to Floyd vs Khan.... Put all theories and hypothesis to the side and concentrate on reality..... Floyd was miles better than Khan and there is only one winner.

    Mayweather Jnr.

    I rated and supported Khan as well.... case closed.

    You actually managed to not answer my question at all. What evidence do you have that Kahn's unintelligent offensive style would trouble Floyd at all. Floyd knocked out Hatton, that's my evidence that he would be able ko kahn. Where's your example of a fighter devoid of defense toughness and ring iq giving Floyd any trouble whatsoever

    Of course Hatton would say that he beat Kahn and was knocked out by Mayweather. Hatton was far sturdier than Kahn was so I see no reason to think Floyd couldnt put down glass chinned Kahn when he knocked hatton out who is not only tougher but was just flat out better than Kahn. Still don't see any evidence that kahns style would trouble floyd. Care to supply an example?

    Stupid... You really believe just because Hatton lost, he would say that? :lol: Not everyone is as childish as you are...

    Yeah there are certainly no examples of fighters giving more credit to the opponents they defeated than to the ones they lost to. None at all

    Floyd never accepted the fight.

    Lots of boxing pundits and former boxers have previously said Khan would have beaten him. Paulie Malinaggi, Ricky Hatton, Oscar Dela Hoya, Roy Jones Jr, Johnny Nelson etc

    2 of those guys lost to Floyd and 2 of them fought Kahn so not exactly unbiased opinions. We also have more knowledge now than they did then about Floyd ability. The others are notoriously horrible at picking fights. Who cares? At this point Floyd is a top 20 all time great and you are still clinging to the if he only fought amir Kahn pipe dream? Lmfao

    Of course you think that's the case every time now... critical or rational thinking isn't something you are accustomed to.

    This has nothing to do with critical thinking

    Oscar always picks everybody to beat Floyd before the fight then Floyd makes Him look a fool by beating them easy.

    No he did not because he subsequently got knocked out by Danny Garcia and lost to Peterson , was not even a world champion or beaten anyone of note then almost lost his life against Canelo. Please stop this crap.
