Let's settle this once and for all: Who would have won? I got Floyd. Khan's chin is usually considered his biggest flaw, but it's actually his ring IQ. There's no nice way to say it: Khan was a DUMB fighter. There's a reason he came up short every time he fought someone who wasn't either past it or featherfisted, other than the Maidana fight. And Khan's footwork sucked. Maidana, who isn't known for his footwork, was able to catch up to him. Even Algieri, who couldn't escape from an aging Pacquiao, had no trouble catching up to Khan.
I don't know if you remember but Floyd said once I think while in England he would love to fight there for his British fans to see him live. Amir Khan immediately challenged Floyd to come to England & fight him or Amir would fight Floyd in Vegas. The fans said Yes we'd love to see that fight & voted that Khan be Floyd's next opponent. BUT reaction from Floyd? Silence !! Floyd did not relish fighting Khan, despite his supposed glass jaw, because he knew his feather fists would not stop Khan fast hands. Instead Floyd fought a shot Andre Berto & an MMA fighter making his pro boxing debut Wonder why ?????? LOL
Floyd has no problem with Khan. Floyd wins as he pleases. He's an all-time great and Khan was just a better than average fighter.
If this was true my friend then why didn't Floyd pick Khan like he cherry picked so many others??? It was the fight the fans wanted at the time. He wasn't sure he could handle Khans fast hands& he didn't have the power to stop Khan, he played it safe as usual I think
I see Floyd's biggest hater has already appeared lol That guy must have a bell that rings, anytime Canelo or Floyd is mentioned
To be honest, I have no idea why Floyd did that. Your surmising may or may not be correct. Perhaps, in retrospect, Floyd may now think Khan was no one he had to worry about but that would only be surmising, as well. I only know that Khan had no chance of winning that fight.

Khan would have beat him Style nightmare. Floyd knew it. Khan amateurish bumrush and win on points. Floyd made sure to stick with the Berto, Maidana, Ortiz & Guerrero's even though on paper Khan was the bigger sell by far It's like Wlad happy clinching, pushing and jabbing midgets to death then finally forced to fight Fury a bigger more agile man and he wet the bed didn't win a round.
This fight was a style nightmare for Floyd. A fight he quite clearly avoided. He told British fans, he would love to fight Khan and in England. He didn’t. Then he held a poll on who should he fight next. Khan won the poll and Floyd still chose Berto. Either Floyd knew himself, or someone close to him was in his ear that this fight was not the smart fight to make.
Oh yeah i did remember that it was far back then, just goes to show how the true world champions went anywhere anytime to fight their challengers with the very high chance of likely being screwed over in the process (see Pac/Horn) really makes it that much harder to defend your belts as opposed to always holding the cards, judges, venue, tue's, injections, refs, etc in your hands isn't it.
Not a hater at all Just a genuine boxing fan that knows who the peds abusers are & has no respect for them , Unlike you hero worshippers of the cheats ruining the sport
