    Would like to see how Floyd would figure out Khans height, reach and speed advantages.

    How many opponents did he fight with greater reach than him?

    He'd figure Khan out. If Garcia could time Khan at 140, Floyd would.

    And Floyd has the longer reach.

    Not many, and your lazy a $$ looked at anything, you know khan and floyd have the same reach and at lww Floyd has faster usable speed.

    You're probably wondering what usable speed is,
    No ?

    I think Floyd outboxes Khan at 140.

    The same way lesser fights have done.

    There is no rubix cube with trying to figure out Amir Khan.

    Easily Floyds biggest test at 140. A 60 / 40 fight.

    It would have been very interesting.

    I think if Khan came in good and fought his best he has a good shot.
    But if the khan that showed up in his last fight came, he is getting smoked.

    For Mayweather, solving Khan would be like playing a rubix cube with one color.

    Khan shows again and again and again how limited he is beyond his speed, how far less fast fighters have beaten him or given him hell, how sloppy and devoid of ring smarts he is, and people still think he's some real top fighter because he's fast.

    It took Danny Garcia 8 minutes to time Khan and turns his legs into jelly. Even before that, he landed some looping right hands and a couple of other punches, because Khan makes so many defensive flaws. It won't take long for a fighter the caliber of Mayweather to time Khan and start landing with consistency. And once Mayweather makes those adjustments and starts landing, what is Khan going to do? Re-adjust? He'll have nothing left.

    It's a joke that people think any version of Khan beats Floyd, let alone Floyd at 140.

    Garcia was able to time Khan at 140. At 140, Floyd would have Khan figured out by the 3rd round.

    People mistake Khan's speed for skills. If you actually look at Khan, he makes numerous amateur mistakes.

    And Floyd has many, MANY more tools than Garcia. He's faster, has a longer reach, a better ****nal of punches, and a higher ring IQ.
