    Because by round 3 he starts walking Khan down and puts him on his backside at least once, Garcia, Algieri and Peterson adjusted to his speed and walked him down, Alexander doesn't walk anyone down to any effect, neither does Malignaggi and they can't really punch, Floyd has walked Mosley, Cotto, Pacquiao, Alvarez etc down and has a respectable punch.

    Floyd hasn't fought him and the reason must be that the OP is a fukin phaggot.

    Because he talks too much, is incredibly annoying and because his fans say he destroyed Barrera, Maidana and Judah.

    Amir is flaky. He is so inconsistent. Sometimes I think he has potential. Very fast hands, patient, thinking... And then other times he's just an idiot who puts himself in position to get knocked out by fighting like a school girl. Less a glass jaw more a glass ring IQ. Though his jaw is not the greatest either.

    I think if Amir fought his best it would be interesting with Floyd. But if he doesn't, floyd will have a field day with him. In amirs last fight his speed looked considerably diminshed. I think Floyd kills this version of Amir in embarassing fashion.

    I don't think Floyd is losing any sleep over a guy who struggled with Algieri.

    If Maidana can land AT WILL on Floyd, so can Amir.

    Tell James Toney that "timing beats speed". RJJ would laugh at him!

    Floyd can be hit. He isn't elusive as everyone makes out.

    Notice how Khan leaves himself off balance when he punches.

    Floyd is MUCH more elusive than Khan. Khan's defense is garbage.

    And please don't insult RJJ by comparing him to Khan. Prime RJJ makes Khan look like a glacier.

    Khan was getting timed by Diaz, Garcia, and Algieri.

    Oh I agree Mayweather can be hit but in Mayweather most recent fight Pacquiao struggled to land that effectively and I'd say he is rather quick, speed is one of greatest assets.

    I think if they were to fight, people would see just how big the gap in ring IQ between Floyd and Khan really is.

    Just because a person is faster than you don't mean that he is gonna be hitting you. Floyd best performances have been against tall fighters. Plus he has an inch in reach on Khan. He has a better boxing IQ than him and his trainer put together. He will beat Khan's ass. I suspect the reason he did not choose Khan is because Khan talks like a female. He just not a good person to do business with. He has a big mouth and don't know when to shut it.

    I like how he claims Floyd will have trouble hitting Khan at all, when Garcia, Diaz, and Algieri were able to hit Khan plenty.

    And if Khan tries that clinching ****, Floyd will rough him up on the inside.

    David Haye was faster than Wladnir Klitscko, we saw how that went.

    Haye looked fast against shot Ruiz and statue Valuev.

    He didn't look so fast against Wlad.
