    Khan is delusional, I can't wait to see this him get knocked off his high horse again.

    When did speed ever become the same as being a great boxer?
    He makes so many amateurish errors in defense, offense and overall ring generalship.

    Do you honestly believe he is a better boxer or even on par in skill to a Rigondeux, a Lamochenko, Mayweather, even a GGG with his amateur pedigree?

    Khan has some great physical gifts, i guess RJJ was a master boxer as well.

    OK, what errors did he make last night?

    From what I've heard, Khan STILL looked hittable last night.

    Not against a scared powder-puff puncher like Floyd.

    I know for a fact he's not better than Floyd. Floyd has more dimensions to his game than Khan.

    I don't feel that Alexander has any bearing on how a Floyd-Khan fight would go. Floyd is much, MUCH better than Alexander.

    I'm not sure about that. Naseem Hamed was loved in England when he went to America.

    Floyd, Rigo, and Lomachenko all have superior footwork. All three, moreover, are far more elusive defensively.

    Khan is faster than all three, but I consider him a level below each in terms of pure boxing ability.

    He can say what he wants but that won't help him get big fights, at least not now. Best he can do is fight Thurman/Brook or Bradley.

    Klitschko never has mouthed off about his abilities, yet he is always confident. So, not every fighter has to run their mouth....they just show it in the ring and let that speak for itself.

    Is it just me, or did Khan lunge a lot last night?

    Khan isn't the best boxer, but his height, range, and hand speed will give people trouble. Those pity pat outbursts win points if the opponent can only throw one punch at a time. He did what he was supposed to do last night against a limited guy, with no adaptation capabilities.

    Maybe:think The only other fighter who might be faster is Gary Russell Jr. for pure speed. However Russell has t-rex arms, so for Khan to reach people with that speed is outsanding.

    I agree, we all can be revisionists to suit our present temperaments, narratives, whatever.

    However, why do you feel sorry for Floyd?
    Is it because he's misunderstood? Or the media gangs up on him?
    People twist his words, and put words in his mouth? I think he's the best fighter in this current generation, Pac a close second.

    However I'm curious as to 'why' you feel sorry for Floyd mayweather?
