    Khan has poor defense, and Floyd is accurate.

    He has 4 Ls, 3 of them KOs in which he was up on points before the knockout and he was robbed in the alexander fight. Despite of what you think of his skills, he has never been outboxed in 35 pro fights against elite/world class opposition. He would have given Floyd trouble to say the least

    But he has a low ring IQ.

    He couldn't outbox Floyd.

    Their common opponent in Canelo shows the difference in ring IQ. Khan was getting timed.

    Not a fair comparison imo. The Canelo Khan faced was a different beast from the version Floyd faced. His was significantly bigger and better skilled

    LMFAO, UH NO.

    Better skilled? He would get 12-0'd like he did a couple years back. There's levels to this and the fact is Floyd just wins, that's all he does.

    That Canelo Alvarez would have laid Pacman out with 1 punch

    Low ring I.Q, predictable style, weak chin, bad timing, sucker for a counter right. Khan is no stylistic threat to Floyd, he's probably the only top WW who Floyd could beat by stoppage.

    That's merely an assumption. It is fact Canelo was better skilled and bigger for Khan than Floyd end of story.

    Khan is predictable because he doesn't change the speed of his punches. It's why he got timed by Garcia and Canelo.

    ROFL You believe Floyd can walk on water don't you ??? In my opinion Floyd was a very talented boxer who sadly did not have the courage & cojones to match. Sad part is he had the skills to really be one of TBE, He needn't have done the ducking, cherry picking & cheating. Basically he tarnished his own legacy. He will never live IV gate down he'll be remembered for that

    Absolute bull feces !! Watch the video on U tube. Look at Mayweathers eyes he is TERRIFIED of Margarito Oh & BTW he really did soil his underwear. Margarito would have laughed at his pitty pats Not even Cortez & Bayless in ring together could save Floyd
