    Agreed.

    If May fights Khan instead of Pac I will just feel that he is a *****.

    Floyd gets a lot of criticism for his opposition. Sometimes justified, sometimes not.

    In this case, it would be totally justified.

    Not really. Khan throws quicker combos, but they're often arm punches. He either gets too excited or just has a tendency to leave himself off-balance after a shot in the combo, resulting in the next punch lacking leverage.

    Physically stronger? We've seen Mayweather more than hold his own in the clinches with Mosley.

    Smart? Khan's ring IQ isn't anything special, Floyd's ring IQ is up there with Hopkins as the best in recent years.

    Khan has mediocre footwork and no inside game. His defense is basically his legs, his parrying skills and head movement need a ton of work.

    It's a mismatch. Khan is getting by mostly on his speed and athleticism as his actual skills leave quite a bit to be desired. He should be fighting the winner of Bradley vs. Alexander.
