Will Floyd continue to duck Khan to fight soft touches like Maid Anna and Shotquiao?

    The Maidana that Khan fought was a different version of Marcos compared to who he is now. He has a pretty good jab now, decent counterpunching ability, and he knows how to disguise his punches well as far as punch placement goes. It wasn't like Khan had a simple time against him either. If that was a 15 round fight, I think most people know how it would've ended.

    Anyway, Khan hasn't taken on anyone at WW yet. I don't see how he can bypass some of the better contenders like Keith Thurman and go straight to the top to fight the champion of the division.

    It's not like he's coming up in weight as the JWW kingpin. Since being knocked out by Garcia, he had a very tough fight with a washed up Julio Diaz, a win over an extremely washed up Collazo, and a JWW whose done nothing at all at WW in Alexander. Now he's fighting another JWW.

    He should rematch Maidana or Garcia, and than take on Thurman in an eliminator type of bout. Instead of running his mouth off incessantly, he should step up the level of his WW competition and actually EARN the right to fight FLoyd.

    Him running around and mouthing off with the weak WW resume he has makes him look really delusional. he needs to earn his keep at 147.

    I'll be surprised if Floyd fights such a risky young elite fast boxer in Khan. He's 38 why would he want to risk that 0 with only 1 fight left? Khans all wrong for Floyd hence why he picked Maidana.

    Yes, that's right, the P4P No.1 is ducking someone who's yet to prove he's the best welter in his own country.

    That's arguable. Prior to facing Khan, Maidana had a win over Ortiz and was Khan's WBA Mandatory. Prior to facing Mayweather, he had a win over Broner and was the WBA Champion aiming for unification against Mayweather's WBC title.

    Which position was more impressive?, it's rather obvious.

    Floyd has more skill in one finger than Khan in his whole body.
