Roger says that Alexander needs high work rate to beat Khan, then at the end of the video when asked about Floyd Khan, Roger seems to pretend not hear this.
Then he takes a moment and says Floyd too needs high work rate to beat Khan. Since Floyd is not a high work rate fighter at all, hasn't been in over a decade, and is too old to adopt this approach, does this mean Roger thinks Floyd would lose to Khan?
Paul Williams was right on the money. He knows the difference between a real great fighter and a fraud ass coward!
Floyd is the only one that can get whoever he wants but doesn't when he feels its too risky. Furthermore, Floyd is the only that has trouble getting risky fights no matter who the opponent's promoter is.
The excuse for Manny was that he is with TR but someone like P. Williams pointed out that Floyd ducked another Al Haymon fighter due to the risk of losing a fight.
Diaz and Garcia punched with Khan and threw bombs with their eyes closed and got hit a lot doing it, Floyd ain't doing that and Khan leaves himself open a lot less. Peterson just charged Khan head first with steroid super Human strength and stamina and still won 3 rounds max.
The guys who have boxed Khan on the outside and let him fight at his own pace which is Floyds style have lost every round.

A post so nice, he posted twice :pat:
Khan fixed those problems that allowed him to get hit. The little things.
Against Collazo and especially Alexander, he was blocking the shots with his gloves, keeping his hands up.
Floyd will figure Khan out after two rounds or so. Khan uses the same type of attack 75% of the time but he is fast enough to pull it off. Floyd will get the distance right and counter him with the left hook as Khan comes in with the jab. When Khan tries to switch it up and lead with the right, Floyd will use the pull counter and tag him with the right.
I don't care for Floyd much at all but you aren't going to outbox him and Khan is sloppy when he attacks, he will get caught.
cotto,pacquiao and mosley didn't fight Williams either. everybody act like they did though
According to P. Williams. it was easier for Floyd to make it happen.
P Williams: "I don't think Floyd Mayweather will fight me anytime," Williams said. "Manny Pacquiao, he might do it, he might step up but not Floyd.
"I guess Floyd won't fight me because I don't have a vagina."
"If Floyd went to Al Haymon and said, "Hey, I want to fight Paul Williams, what can Al do? But Floyd is not going to ever say that. Pacquiao, he fights bigger guys, he's different than Mayweather so maybe I will get to fight him."
"Floyd ranks himself with Ray Robinson, with Joe Louis, all these guys..but all those great guys, they all lost sometime. Mayweather won't take a hard fight, he won't take the chance of losing."
"I can make 147 lbs ...."

NSB.....Last month everyone was saying Floyd would KO KHAN....it would be his 1st KO in a decade......NOW ALL OF SUDDEN "FLOYD IS DUCKING KHAN"
Floyd ducked khan last year when he won Floyds own poll.
To beat Khan you have to have power and punch with him, but this was the weight drained khan who had to lose 13lbs day before the weighin. At 147 where he only has to lose 2lbs day before the weighinn he looks unbeatable. Floyd has no power and he wouldn't do anything even if he decided to punch with khan. Khan would beat Floyd and there is nothing Floyd can do about it.
Khan is a good fighter but look at all his bouts with guys who could actually box. Like grandpa said he BARELY beat Diaz. Garcia exposed him and peterson worked him IMO. Floyd is too accurate with his shots. Alexander was cleanly landing counter shots when Khan threw. Granted Alexander was a bust all together.
I don't see this being as good of a fight for Khan as everyone else does.

Its funny to see people say Floyd will knock Khan out
You dont see them talking about what happens if the fight goes the full 12 and Khan doesnt get knocked out
Its a sad day when Floyds only shot at beating Khan is a knockout.. Is that what ur pinning ur hopes on?
Khan has only been knocked out twice, forget all the knockdown, fact is most of his fights go the distance and he wins big, unless it's against a drugged out cheat who has someone fixing the judges card.
Pinning ur hopes on Floyd having to knock Khan out to beat him tells me Khan is a serious danger to Mr Floydie.
Floyd has had problems with his hands, there is a high probability he cant hurt Khan..with Hunter in Khans corner, the gameplan will be solid
floyd never had power. please name me a fight where he wrecked someone at 130. sorry corner stoppages don't count.
guess Diego Corralles no longer counts here, lol
The thing is, all that needs to be acknowledged is that Khan doesn't get under punches, too squared up. Mayweather can use the same right hook that made Guerrero and Cotto freeze up. Activity won't be much of a problem at all.
did you watch the alexander fight? he was pretty mobile upstairs, it was suprising
but he had an easy time as he did because alexander was just waiting to counter-punch and rarely got off first
You have to stand in the pocket and punch with Khan. I can see Khan jumping out to a 3-0 lead before Floyd gets his timing down and starts clipping him all night.
He can either KO Khan or outwork him. And I believe Mayweather can do both, Even doe I see Mayweather slowing down I can still see him increasing his combo rate, this is the area that we haven't see Mayweather effectively over the last 3/4 fights. I think against Khan he would be able to see the Chavez or Corley Mayweather who was throwing punches in bunches without worrying too much about what is coming back to hit him.
