    I've heard that Khan's jab would have troubled Floyd.

    Is Khan really known for having a particularly good jab? Granted, I've only watched parts of highlights of Khan's fights, but I've never watched Khan and say, "Wow, he has a great jab!".

    Sure, Khan's jab is fast, but a fast jab isn't the same as a good jab.

      I say Floyd, and comfortably. Khan's not the master boxer people seem to think he is. He might have fast hands, but his defense and footwork are terrible, and he can't fight on the inside or adjust.
      Is this a 15 year old post? Cause that’s when it would of been interesting.

        Mayweather. 100 out of 100 times.

        Could see Khans speed and jab being effective early, Floyd gets his timing and space down, and it's a wrap. Counters, lead rights, sneaky shots around the guard, Khan gets frustrated, eats something he didn't see.

        Levels.

          Also, Khan's defense is TERRIBLE. Even in the fights where he was supposedly "putting on a masterclass" like Kotelnik and Malignaggi, he still got hit by shots he shouldn't have been hit by. You'd think a fighter with a chin as bad as Khan's would be more defensively responsible.

              Well Khan wasn't a slow flat footed come forward fighter. He threw some nice combos in succession. He probably would have landed on Floyd more than the Ortiz's and Madonnas of the world but again Floyd made sure we didn't see it.

              All these guys in the welterweight division Floyd's division and he didn't fight them. Name a guy and you get a excuse. That don't bother anybody.

                Khan's not flat-footed, but I wouldn't call him fleet-footed, either. To me, a fleet-footed fighter has to be fast AND have good footwork, and Khan's footwork is really bad.

                Khan's footwork really isn't that much better than Maidana's or Canelo's. There's a difference between fast footwork and good footwork.

                  Timing is speeds worst Enemy and Mayweather Timing is one of if the not greatest this sport ever seen on top of Khan being a Front Running and Crash and Burn by the 4th-5th, Mayweather gets better and Sharper as he is masterful at making adjustments

                  No Version of Khan beats Mayweather, it is a Fantasy and Delusion from Khan and some of his Fans that "Khan Would've Beat Mayweather" lol

                      I doubt. How many welterweights did Floyd ko. Ortiz with his hands down? Hatton was a Junior welterweight. A faded Sharmba Mitchell.
