    I've read some posts that last night's fight showed how a fight between Floyd and Khan would have gone, with Floyd being Haney, and Khan being Garcia. Do you agree?

    :lol: On his best day, Khan was half the puncher Garcia is.
    And Haney is not Mayweather.

    No Floyd would stop Khan. This is how Floyd vs Khan would look:

    Haney doesn't have 1/10th of Floyd's ability to adjust.

    He really doesn´t. We first saw this in the Linares fight. All he has is holding on for dear life until he is able to recover and regain his composure.
    Unlike Linares, Garcia was able to find the money punch on more than just one occasion.

    Absolutely not. Pbf is much better than Haney with better defense and chin. He would've schooled khan.

    Everyone in the world knew RyGa has a great left hook. Its literally the only thing great about him. Somehow Bill and Devin Haney spent 8 weeks in training camp preparing for everything other than a left hook. Clueless.

    Anyhow, Floyd was a master at preparation and was even better at tactics.

    Mosley hit and hurt Floyd twice with different punches in round 2. Floyd adjusted and was never hit w either punch rest of the way.

    Maidana hurt Floyd bad in rematch at end of round 3 or 4, never landed that punch again.

    Manny hurt Floyd in round 4 and 6 with different punches. Floyd adjusted and was never hit w either of those punches again.

    Judah clipped Floyd as did Corley and, after adjustments, Floyd was never hit clean again.

    Floyd was absolutely special and a rightful Top 20 ATG. Even in saying all that it is also true that Floyd shouldve lost JLC1 and drew in Maidana1...and that takes nothing away from Floyds place as a top 20 ATG.

    Haney somehow didnt prepare for a left hook - which was clear as day the only punch Ryan had - and repeatedly got hurt and KD by a left hook. Ridiculous.

    Nobody like a Khan would have ever troubled Floyd though.

    Did Bill not have Devin spar anyone with a good left hook?

    I haven't watched the fight, but it doesn't sound like this was Devin's fault. Bill just sucks as a trainer.

    Garcia has much more single punch power than Khan who flurries alot but doesn't punch with authority.

    And obviously Mayweather is leaps and bounds better than Haney in pretty much every way, theres no way Mayweather would've been getting hit with that many left hooks in a row.

    Mayweather walks down Khan after a slow start and stops him in the 2nd half of the fight.

    I dont know who Devin sparred but why was Ryan able to land so many left hooks? For anyone whose seen the Linares fight it was clear as day Devin does NOT like left hooks.

    Damn shame

    Floyd would have picked Khan apart with surgical precision. Only delusional Brits and Darni would suggest otherwise.

    Neither Khan nor Garcia have a particularly high ring IQ, but Khan does not hit anywhere near as hard as Garcia.

    Moreover, while Haney is a solid techinican, Floyd---whatever one thinks of him or his obsequious nut-hugger fans-- was a damn clinician in the ring.
