    Khan won't be throwing all those rapid-fire punches like people think he will...his punch output will drop significantly when he gets hit with that first counter.

    Why do people act like Floyd's only weapon is the shoulder roll? He also uses the high guard. And he doesn't only use it against southpaws. He used it in the Cotto and Mosley fights.
     
  4. Because these novice never learn. The same was said about the Pac fight and he used it on him too. Amir is nothing special and those same words will be said if they fight and when he loses...AGAIN!!!:nono

    Probably because they've seen maybe 2 or 3 of Floyd's fights and think they know all about him.

    Khan fans are as bad as Pacquiao when it comes to knowing the sport of Boxing. Khan has nothing to trouble Mayweather. Khan gets picked apart and knocked out.

    Exactly, yes khan is fast but moves in straight lines in and out if mayweather just moves a little to the side his straight right will hit everytime it may not be real powerful but it has enough pop. Fmj biggest skill is adapting to any opponent and over coming it

    Floyd is not gonna fight Khan, not because he can't beat him but because it would be too much work for nothing. That's why he vacated the belts. It's not about money because he stands to make 60/70 million on his next fight regardless of who he fights. His legacy is intact so it don't make sense. If you think Khan presents a problem for Floyd then you should watch the Mayweather and Tony Pep fight. I don't think Floyd wants to chase that fool all night. I would like to see him close the show with Danny and if he decides to break Rocky's number then I would like to see him give a young fighter some exposure. Maybe Imir Imam or even Jermell Charlo.

    Didn't people say Pacquiao's work rate would trouble Floyd?

    Floyd made Pacquiao gunshy.
     
  11. Maidana hits like a truck ask Khan,who hugged him so much it looked like he was trying to get him pregnant. Floyd went toe to toe the first fight which no one thought he would do and still won.
    Khan was hit alot in the Alexander fight, and with Floyd accuracy he will get hit a lot that fight too, if it happens. Khan should quit being a QUEEN
    and build his own legacy.

    exactly he only does that stupid as ***** move when he's completely outmatching a fighter and knows he cant land. He wont use it under pressure but he always trys to get it in somehwhere. If he tries it with Khan hell have a face like a melted welly inside 2 or 3 rounds.

    Floyds trick of leaning forward to trick the opponent into thinking the range is closer will fail badly because he won't get away with doing something like that on somebody with equal range and much faster hands. He won't be able to pot shot to victory using his range and speed because he is coming across somebody else who also uses it really well but with quicker hands and higher output. Stylistically this is a nightmare for Floyd and It would be wise for Floyd to carry on ducking Khan and fight another flat footed latino and retire safely with his 0 intact.
