    Khan is tailor-made for pbf that's what you boxing novices fail to understand. :deal:Khan is an orthodox boxer puncher who can't fight on the inside is chinny and can't adjust. Pbfs whole defense is designed to shut down guys like this because they throw punches from predictable angles that pbf can see or anticipate defend and can counter. Khan is not outboxing a superior outboxer he gets outboxed beat up and stopped.

    And yet, he has a pretty darn good resume for someone who sucks and was easy to beat according to most here.

    Mayweather ducked him and Kahn is a very bad matchup for him stylistically. Look at the first 4 rounds vs Canelo.

    Plus. look at the first 4 of Floyd v Judah. If a space cadet like Judah could get to floyd early, would not surprise me one bit if Khan could do the same. He was a fast starter.

    Perfectly said, over zealous punch happy no IQ having fighter & agreed Khan isn't able to fight on the inside at all,

    While knowing how solid Floyd's chin is especially when facing someone like Khan,

    After Khan blows his load Floyd will pick him apart with sharp right hands & check hook's while targeting his body making him ripe for the picking, it would have made a entertaining fight though.

    Yeah then let's go back & watch those 4 Rounds you mentioned where Khan did jack all, it seems these type of statement's are just regurgitated after someone else said it first.

    Khan should have continued fighting guy's in his division by actually challenging himself by convincingly beating them & he should have focused more on his Career at hand instead of being a groupie begging Floyd & Pac for a fight while sitting back & virtually doing nothing in the meantime hoping he could by pass more contenders & finally be able to cash out on One of them,

    As deep down Khan has always known he was never as good as he claimed, though telling the truth would be a anomaly for Khan at any point in his life.

    I think Khan might give Mayweather a few issues early on, but once Mayweather figures him out and gets his speed/rhythm down. He would walk Khan down and beat him up and get a stoppage between 9-10.

    The article I posted said that Khan had the footwork to get in and out against Floyd.

    Has he actually watched a Khan fight? Khan's footwork is TERRIBLE. Crude slugger Maidana was able to catch up to him. ****ing Algieri, who couldn't escape from an aging Pacquiao, had no trouble catching up to him.

    Algieri and Maidana were able to chase Khan and find him, but Floyd wouldn't for some reason. I just don't understand boxing fans' logic sometimes.

    Mayweather ducked him. He did a poll on who he should fight Kahn or Maidana. The fans voted Kahn and he still fought Maidana.

    Mayweather didn't knock people out at that point. Would've been very unlikely
