    Very true. Floyd don't like fighting speedsters let alone anyone with blazing fast hand speed. That's why he cherry-picks all these bigger slow opponents all the time, because speed is his greatest asset and it's even more accentuated when he's facing these big lumbering stiffs.

    The size advantage most of his opponents hold over him, and that his insufferable fans never shut up about, isn't actually that advantageous for them at all. They're too slow to catch him clean or catch him clean often enough for it to work in their favour. You can't hurt what you can't hit.

    Don't forget the beating the quick fisted slickster Paul Spadaforda put on him during sparring either. Speed causes Floyd all sorts of problems, problems that he obviously doesn't feel comfortable dealing with.

    As much as I dislike Khan and I don't think he deserves the fight, he's
    right on about his speed giving Floyd problems. Floyd relies on his
    quickness in and out and doesn't make guys punch with him to get
    a KO shot, which is what Khan can't defend against. Floyd would
    likely get beat to the punch by the just as fast but rangier Khan,
    but the guile and class of mayweather would see him defeat the bratty
    brit. Keith Thurman however, in about 12-18 mo time will KO Floyd,
    if he gets the fight.

    Khan would land a lot on Void. Ward's article might have changed Void's mind about fighting Khan, after all, Ward said that Khan's speed, power would give Void problems, that made Void very afraid...............

    Exactly. So much speed and power that Garcia basically allowed one-braincell Khan to KO himself, so much speed and power Willie Limond KOd him, so much speed and power that Julio Diaz put him on his back. Bum.

    I disagree Khan in my opinion could out point Rios if fights smart and keeps it on the outside.

    Khan from the Maidana, Kotelnik, Judah and Malignaggi fights I would favour over Rios. But he hasn't really put on performances of those fights in recent years.
