    What changes has he made really? He still leans in with his punches and judges distant poorly. Still cant fight on the inside. If people tink he can outbox floyd because he's "fast" (only fast with his hands as he gets tagged easily) they are sadly mistaken.

    Best wins: Kotelnik, Malignaggi, Collazo, Maidana

    Losses-- Garcia and Prescott by KO.. Peterson but very debatable

    He is flawed but he has beaten quality names. Thurman has the appeal but not the names. They should just fight each other and the winner fights Floyd.

    Not even a year ago I laughed the notion of Khan beating Floyd away and even expected the very rare occurrence that Floyd would win by a legitimate KO.

    Now, I'm not so sure he even beats him anymore.

    Floyd never cared much about who 'earned it' the most, only what opponent can he sell to the public for the least amount of risk.

    A Khan and PBF would be punch, clinch, rinse, repeat.

    Nothing at all.

    Once again I will say he's not had a win over a top 10 opponent since 2011 against Judah.

    He lost to Peterson and was demolished by Garcia and has been matched carefully ever since whilst harping on how he deserves and would beat Mayweather.

    I wish he'd **** off and fight his way to the title as opposed to talking his way like Haye.

    Nothing....he just has a style which interests people.


    D.Garcia has earned it the most...but do you care to see that fight? no not really because Floyd will destroy him to a UD without a doubt...worse than Herrera did.

    I can't see Khan being the one to beat Floyd.
    Sure he has hand-speed but he also has predictable offensive movement, combined with a lack of lateral movement and dull defensive reflexes.
    That's just a guy waiting to be timed.
