    He clearly wanted nothing to do with Amir.

    Khan was a bad matchup for Mayweather. I wouldn't call it a duck but Mayweather is a business man and he takes least risk possible. So not surprised this fight didn't happen. Kahn deserved it over Berto that's for sure. But a rangy boxer with fast hands is not something Floyd wanted to fight. As for Canelo he has cement legs I would pick Floyd to beat him again.

    Mayweather may be the most underrated ATG in history. If DSG can figure out Khan and time him in a few rounds, Floyd will embarrass him and hurt him. Pac man would Hatton this dude. Khan has an impressive offense, mostly due to his hand speed. But, his defense is not top tier. If you can figure out the cadence in time, you can turn the fight around. I haven't seen the fight. I hear he did better than most expected. But, Canelo is a good counterpuncher. So, I expected him to catch Khan eventually. I like Khan. But, the guy is way overrated. I expect any one of the top WWs to stop him.

    It's obvious that Floyd wanted no part of Amir.

    The fact that Floyd beat Canelo means nothing here.

    He deserved a shot as much as guys like Maidana and Berto did.

    A faded Manny with an injury? No.

    Manny in the late 00's? Most definitely.

    The punch he got ko'd with was the same shot diaz dropped him with and the same one Algerie hurt him with. He never had a shot to beat floyd
