    Danny Garcia does not have Khans speed, agility, height or reach which makes a boxing match difficult but Khan does not have any of Garcias boxing ability. If Khan could mix defence/offence like Garcia he'd be knocking on the door of elite fighters like Pac and Floyd. Khan doesn't have the patience, confidence or sense of timing and distance to be able to fight like Garcia.

    Garcia executed his style from round one.

    I mean in the ring not on paper. He was en route to a big fight but the realtiy is he then lost 2 to good/decent fighters but not show stoppers.

    If he was better technically he'd actually be able to compete with a Pac or Floyd in the ring, not on paper. Pac knocks out Khan inside 3, Floyd dominates him but not because of talent but technique.

    One dummy doesn't have the power to affect this sport. Quite frankly, I've never heard of him.

    That is indeed the reality but hindsight is brilliant isn't it. Fact is Khan was a unified champion at the weight below and a fight with the #1/2 Bradley couldn't be made so he was very much in the mix for a Floyd fight and it was down to his ring achievements. What was different between him and Hatton, very little in terms of achievements.
