    Khan didn't have much upstairs to begin with.

    Floyd ducked Khan clear as day like he ducked Pac.

    Khan's chin is glass, so I feel like Floyd might have did him even with brittle hands.

    Seriously.

    Khan was gaining a ton of traction in terms of popularity and he was tied to Pac (Roach) and he was with Gaymon. Easiest fight to put together in house.

    Again taken out of context.

    All he basically said is that he thinks stylistically with his speed he'd have caused Mayweather problems and that you always have to back yourself so yeah of course he thinks he could win.

    So why are people upset at what he said?
    Floyd "no risk" Mayweather didnt want anything to do with him for a reason.

    He had the speed to trouble Floyd early on, but his chin would never hold up. Floyd would break him down with clean straigh rights and lead left hooks. Floyd by TKO

    Kahn is just one of those guys who showed pretty good potential that one time that better boxers used to knockout to pad their records a little bit.

    That's all.

    Floyd had nothing to gain from beating Kahn.

    TBH, I never thought Khan was anything special. He gets wildly overrated because of his speed.

    yea, even when he was getting hype i didnt see the big deal. Only fight I ever remember pulling for Kahn in was against Judah
