    Pbf would have wiped his ass with either.

    Brook would a tougher fight than Khan because he is better but of course Floyd would beat him.

    Brook doesn’t have the single punch speed to trouble Mayweather. Brook has a really good jab, but its nothing that Mayweather hasn’t seen. He would get his timing down by round 3/4 and take over.

    Khan on the other hand, every big fight he got knocked out in he was dominating and winning clearly. Khan clearly has the speed in combinations to trouble Mayweather, and Floyd probably couldn’t stop Khan so would be very close.

    I still favour Floyd but who knows, if Canelo got a draw on one card by repeatedly getting punched in the face then anything is possible

    Khan just has too many flaws to beat Floyd. His chin, defense, ring IQ and footwork are all terrible.

    Khan was clearly a more difficult stylistic matchup for Floyd than Brook.

    I think a prime Khan would have the best chance but still not 100% he would get the W

    Who would you favor if Floyd and Khan fought?

    If it was a young Floyd fighting who took more chances and seeked KO's against an older Khan with a couples losses then Floyd would win with a stoppage.
    If it was a prime Khan fighting an older and more cautious Floyd then this would be a pure boxing match ending up going to the score cards, if fighting in Las Vegas Floyd gets the victory by split decision , if fighting across the pond Khan gets the victory also by split decision.
    If it was prime Floyd against Prime Khan thats hard to say but it definitely wouldn't go the distance.
    Just my opinion

    Gomez could punch.
