    imo floyds style is terrible for khan.

    Khan doing his bumrush, two fisted, off balance attacks is laughable. Personally i see the fight as a complete shut out. A lesson for khan and a late knockout.

    Against pac i think khan would land more than against floyd but ultimately get brutally kod.

    Hopefully bradley spares us all and batters him.

    Every fighter is different. I completely agree that Floyd had only shown decreased mobility. You watch some of his fights in earlier years, particularly at 130 the way he was SO fast on his legs and feet against guys like Corrales, Gerena, Vargas, etc...There were certain instances where he'd be moving in and out of position, and then back in, and his leg and footspeed was just remarkable. I don't think he has that anymore, but his legs are still sturdy. It they weren't, he would've been dropped by Mosley in that 2nd round.

    I don't think Whitaker's legs really started declining until his early 30s though, not his late 20s.

    Camacho was such a ****ing waste. You watch him against Ramirez and he just looks ****ing amazing. He's not just blazing fast (and had decent pop) with his hands and feet, but was fluid and comfortable in his movements. Seemed more of a "natural" fighter, he just flowed smoothly.
