    They think that because Khan outboxed Alexander, he could do the same to Floyd.

    This ignores the fact that Alexander isn't on the same planet as Floyd in terms of skill and ability.

    All great points.

    A well past it DLH gave Mayweather a tough time simply because of his height and reach. That DLH was nowhere as fast as Khan is now and there were a lot of people including myself who scored the Mayweather vs DLH fight close.

    That DLH was passed it, wasn't fast any longer, and he never had great footwork to begin with, yet size and the jab made it competitive.

    We're talking about Khan facing a diminished version of the Mayweather that faced DLH.

    Khan's jab is nowhere near as good as DLH's.

    Again, Khan is an inch taller AT MOST.

    Khan's footwork isn't great either.

    Agreed, Your missing the point. No one says khan beats the version of mayweather that faced DLH. I'm saying khan stylistically presents what could be s major challenge for 2015 version of mayweather.
