    Maidana didn't really throw combos as in stringing punches together.. He smothered Floyd.. You act like he was at mid range letting his hands go...

    You seem to be neglecting Floyd's positives and hyping everything Khan don't suck at.. The same thing they did with Pac and everyone else that's good at something...

    It's my opinion that people confuse speed for skill.

    Khan's footwork is poor, ESPECIALLY compared to Floyd's.

    I know people like the saying, "Styles make fights", but there's another saying that's relevant in this case: "There are levels to this ****". And Khan is nowhere near Floyd's level.

    Khan's footwork is SH...T. People think that good footwork means to be able to move around. Wft, I'm able to move around, and that doesnt mean sh...t. Good footwork also implies to be always on balance, and a-mere-con is absolutely off-balance as soon as he moves a foot. He has improved a bit, i'd say good job by hunter, but he still sucks sooo hard. There is no material for a good boxer in khan, nobody would have said that after his olimpic achievements, but that's the truth.

    Now he doesnt do it so often, but it's so funny when he tries to hit with his right hand and his right leg starts to fly all over the ring. HE SUCKS. There's no single chance in hell he can win to mayweather.

    I think Floyd would be walking Khan down after about 5 rds.

    Khan doesn't move him up 1 notch on the ATG list. I don't see why people want this one so bad. If slow a$$ DSG can touch Khan up it would be like target practice for Floyd. And that little underdeveloped clinch game Khan has would allow Floyd to work him on the inside.

    You will see when/if he gets in there Manny that he is not on that level.

    Yep. Mayweather wins UD by 8-4 at the very worst.

    Khan needs to take some big fights in his division. Thurman, Brook, Bradley, Garcia Etc. Hes wasting time.

    No chance. Especially with the point deduction & knockdown. That is an unquestionable Khan win.

    Did it give Prescott, Garcia and Peterson nightmares? Or Diaz and Algieri?

    The list could be longer, so all those fighters didn't struggle badly with Khan's handspeed but the P4P number 1 will?

    Timing beats a Khan and which fighter has exceptional timing? Mayweather, it is one of his greatest assets of not his best.

    Khan needs to stop getting ko'ed by slow, flat-footed plodder hispanic/south american boxers.
