    Khan's work rate will drop.

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

    Floyd made Pacquiao gunshy.

    The reason it dropped because Floyd was so good at controlling range against a physically limited fighter with 5 inch reach disadvantage and 3 inch height disadvantage. Pac was extremely flat footed also and just couldn't get his jab going, he's never been technically that good anyway.

    Khans totally different, his jab is outstanding, his range control is second to none, his footwork is extremely fast, his speed is by far the best. He will outpoint floyd unless Floyd turns into the 130lb Floyd throwing combos.:deal

    Khan's range control isn't as good as Floyd's.

    Khan's jab is decent, nothing more.

    He means that people said the shoulder roll wouldn't work against Pacquiao.

    Pacquiao's work rate also didn't do him any good.

    pacqauio barely tried a leg, he is also way smaller slower and doesnt get combinations off aswell as Khan.

    Amir Khan lol.

    Khan would start quick as usual and then slow down. Ffs Peterson walked Khan down.

    Easy nights work for Floyd.

    Khan will outpoint Floyd he has so many more advantages at this stage of their respective careers. Foot speed, hand speed, jab, control of range. Floyd has better defense but his output is too little to outpoint a younger hungrier Khan.

    When was the last time Floyd fought a fighter that was faster than him, had equal reach, quicker feet, a great jab and height advantage all in one? Stylistically this is a nightmare for Floyd.

    Peterson was roiding, Khan was drained, the ref was a joke, the judges and that man in the hat all stunk the joint out. Even then I had Khan up by 1-2 pts.

    Do you see Peterson troubling Khan at 147 now? He would get stopped.

    Khans a lot faster than Floyd. If Khan fought patiently and disciplined as he has at times he could beat Floyd easily. I doubt Floyd would fight him. At a minimum, Khan will make him look very bad at times.
