    Only idiots think Amir Queen Khan like Kell Brook calls him could beat Floyd. This Khan is the same person who accused his wife and AJ of having an affair with no proof.

    You're not wrong that Khan had all the right tools. However, we have his entire career to inform us that he would apply those tools stupidly (or at least inconsistently) and allow himself to be easily countered by one of the best counter-punchers of this generation, who has more tools at his disposal and hits harder than given credit for.

    His speed keeps him in the fight for the first couple rounds. After that...:boxing1

    Mayweather would have destroyed Khan, knocked him out cold earlier and more brutally than he did Ricky Hatton.

    If you watch the fight you'll see Floyd doesnt actually knock Hatton out. Hatton was rushing in Floyd threw a punch that steered Hatton into the corner pad You can see his neck flex it could easily have broken his neck. Colliding with the pad Ko'd Hatton. If you want to see Ricky really Ko'd watch the Pacquaio KO

    Early negotiations with the Maywether camp Khan revealed he instructed his camp “let the Mayweather camp give us whatever they want to give us. Don’t make the negotiations any difficult for the Mayweather camp.” He later on got so desperate for the fight he revealed he offered to fight Floyd for free. Don’t think Khan was motivated by the money. He genuinely believed he had a good chance of beating Floyd

    khans footwork better than floyds lofl

    khans footwork is repetative
    easy to time
    uses far to much energy using to much ring as he as no defence well a basic robotic defence
    his punch repition is to predictable
    and his balance aint great
    along with real low ring iq

    floyd
    great defence
    great footwork
    great punch variation
    great balance
    great iq
    great at adapting
    lofl at theses newbies

    You really believe saying don’t make the negotiations difficult means he was prepared to fight for free. 50 fighters thought they had a good chance and they all failed including much better fighters than Khan. This is a highly disrespectful thread to Mayweather as Khan is not on the same planet as a fighter.

    He is still running scared of Special K Brook. He also quit against Terence Crawford!

    he won the poll
    which one because i seen three
    and khan lost on two of them

    told all his followers to go to one said poll
    low iq right there
    instead of telling his followers about all polls across the web
    straws and clutching
    are hard in this thread

    Styles makes fights. Every fight is completely different. That’s the beauty of boxing.
    I do agree that Mayweather is the more complete fighter and the much more skilled boxer but I genuinely believe Khan had the boxing style and attributes to trouble Mayweather. It would have been a good fight and it should have happened. There’s lots of boxing fans, pundits and former boxers that have the same opinion. So I don’t think it’s a crazy opinion. If Khan did ever beat Floyd I would be the first person to say that Floyd is still the much more skilled and complete boxer, but I genuinely believe that Khan had the boxing style and attributes to give him huge problems. I don’t believe that Floyd in his mid 30’s to late 30’s had enough power to knock Khan out. Khan also had the age advantage of being 10 to 9 years younger. Can everyone just calm down as it’s my opinion and it’s also the opinion of many boxing fans, pundits and former boxers
