    if Floyd could derail Canelo's confidence in a round, imagine what he'd do to Khan?

    Let that sink in.

    Close for maybe 3 rounds, Khan hits the deck and Mayweather pulls away winning a wide UD.

    I live extremely close to a former khan victim Mccloskey

    Look how that fight played out. Yes Amir won every round, but Paul's defensive strategy made him look very amateur at times. Paul hadn't the speed or offensive ability to capitalise, but Floyd would have no issue

    Amir might of had an off night due to overlooking his European level opponent, especially after having the best spell of his career. But no doubt after a tricky couple of rounds Floyd would time him and start to have his way.

    This is not a contest. The younger, aggressive Pretty Box KOs the glass-chinned Khan. The older, more defensively-minded Money wins an easy decision.

    Khan might be a little faster, but he doesn't have 1/10th of Floyd's ring IQ or defense.

    He cowardly cold cocked a totally defenceless Ortiz with his hardest combination Ortiz wasn't out he was up on his feet laughing in no time. Floyd was lucky he cannot punch he could have seriously injured or even killed Ortiz Cortez was at fault too he never gave the instruction box on

    Khan does great for a few rounds then Mayweather times him and knocks him out.

    So I’m sure you remember when Floyd did that poll on his twitter Khan won but people were saying his poll was rigged. Ring, ESPN and Max Boxing did the same exact poll and Maidana won by a landslide. He chose Maidana especially considering Khan stop progressing his career and only taking safe fights while waiting to be locked by Floyd or Pacquiao. It was his own fault.

    Floyd by close UD. His featherfist approach would not have even been able to crack Khan's eggchin. Paid off judges who wanted future jobs as judges gave him any close decision.

    Floyd had no reason to fight Khan. Khan had already been knocked out by Prescott and Garcia, wasn't a particularly big draw or had a particularly big fanbase (Twitter followers don't count), and didn't have a belt.

    Exactly which is why when he put the poll up on his twitter there was a plethora of people who said his poll was rigged to favor Khan. Maidana went on an exciting run and ended Broner’s hype for the WBC title. Meanwhile Khan had chose to fight once in the same span against a safe opponent in Julio Diaz. It was clear the person who deserved the fight most between the two was Maidana.

    Amir Khan stalled his own career because he believed he deserved a big fight against Floyd or Manny without laying the groundwork.

    Floyd starts to time him after 4 rounds and then it's game over from there on in

    Antonio never needed any illegal "HELP" to succeed he did it by being a FIGHTER!! & a MAN!!
    Not so your Feather fisted Floyd & his carbon copy the Ginger Nutt. They've had the State Commission, Vegas boxing & their wonderful judges & USADA to ensure they succeed. What is so great is that the boxing world KNOWS these facts too

    Before plaster MA was a beast. After he was caught, not a single KO.
