Yeah, maybe for a round or two Khan MAY have beaten Floyd to the punch but Floyd would have started to time him eventually.
Khan is a repeat-rhythm fighter; there is no variety to his work, it's very predictable.
Knowing what someone is going to do and being able to stop it are too different things
Mayweather fought Berto over Khan as well.
Mayweather didn't want to fight Khan, and Khan had the tool to cause Mayweather a lot of issues.

Maidana didn't time him too well.
Unless you think Khan got an iron chin or Maidana is feather fisted.
Maidana timed Mayweather better and landed far more on Floyd and caught him with bigger shots.
And this Maidana was every bit as good as the one that beat Broner and got robbed by Maywether.
Plus he wasn't force to wear pillows.
Mayweather likes an easy fight with big reward, the fact he never faced Khan tells you he didn't think it was an easy fight.
You really need to go back and watch that fight. Maidana landed loads of clean shots on Khan. That fight actually made me a Khan fan cause he showed so much heart.
Maidana was a far better fighter under Robert Garcia, that’s universally accepted.
Honestly bro you just sound like a hater... How can you say Mayweather likes easy fights.😂 He has one of the best resumes of the last 20 years. He consistently fought elite opponents. Don’t let your dislike of Mayweather cloud your judgement.
Khan doesn’t need him...
He got a big payday against Crawford and another good payday in Saudi Arabia. Khan’s name still has value, whilst Brooks doesn’t and never really has.
It’s relatively big fight over here (UK) but in the context of world boxing it’s pretty meaningless nowadays.
Brook needs to just move to 154 and try and reclaim a world title. He should fight Liam Smith IMO.
100% its only big in UK but Khan ain't getting anymore shots like that right now . They are both hungry for some money and they can give it to each other at home in a fight either guy could win at this point . The reason I say this is I dont think brook has it in him to beat anyone of note . I think he would go life and death with beefy even at this point but I'll reserve judgement until I see him fight deluca and give him the old eye ball test . But u are absolutely correct Khan has a much bigger name than brook but he needs a win or two even at domestic level .
He’s never been the same at 147. Prime Khan was 2009-11.
Even prime Khan is no match for Floyd. Look how easily a crude and very raw version of Maidana consistently timed him on the way out.
That was a tremendous fight but it wasn’t elite level stuff.
Mayweather has a very easy night with any version of Khan IMO.

And Khan has never been the same since Canelo, he cashed out then.
Do you think that was a Prime Khan, the guy that beat Maidana, was the same one Crawford fought?

Crawford is a counter puncher...
Prescott beat Khan...
If Crawford, Garcia, Canelo could time Khan, Floyd would do it easily. It’s about levels and as much as I don’t really like the guy Floyd was the elite of the elite. Khan was never on that level. Timing beats speed.

Floyd is a counter puncher. fast hands, a long jab, taller longer and a good engine.
Floyd didn't want to take the risk.
Khan offered Floyd more money than Maidana and Berto.
Berto was a B class fighter, even Ortiz beat him

I agree but it actually appears brook was ready to sign recently . These guys need each other imo at this point they need to stop blowing smoke and put the gloves on

Berto has as good a resume (if not better) at Welterweight as Khan. Khan was coming off a very average performance against Algieri and once again the demand for the fight wasn’t truly there.
I’m not saying Berto was the right choice but it was the last fight (real fight) of his HOF career, and it was more of a farewell fight/showcase.
Floyd would time Khan easily, look how easily Crawford timed him. It’s an easy W for Floyd. I never had that much interest in seeing it tbh, I’d honestly put it in the same category as Mayweather-Berto or Mayweather-Ortiz.

Ticked at Khan for ducking this guy. He is such a coward
Khan has fought Canelo, Crawford, Maidana, Garcia etc he ain’t ducking Brook he just doesn’t need him.

Because neither or gonna get a big name at this rate , so the money and an actual chance to win presents itself here for both fighters ....iam not even sure who I'd pick or if it even matters lol
