Hot take: Brook would been a harder fight for Floyd than Khan.

    i always wanted to see him vs a really good mover that would force him to lead and not care about stinking up the joint I.E Erislandy Lara
    Its always been quite evident to me at least that Floyd isn't great at cutting the ring off

      Would have been a clinic by Floyd.. as for Khan well Mayweather after 4 rounds would have the time down perfectly and start hitting that wet weetabix chin with laser accuracy and stopped him
      Same here. I don't say what i said in my post because I'm a "hater"

      Im a fan of Brook.

        I think they both (Brook and Khan) both start brilliantly vs Floyd for different reasons but they both do about the same only Brook finishes on his feet.
        As good as Brook is fundamentally he's always been a bit one-paced and can't adjust, at all.
        As for Khan he's just always been a horrible fighter, he'd bug Floyd early with his speed and silly flurries but he'd get timed and picked apart. He's never looked good after 3-4 rounds in any fight.
        He just had blinding handspeed which allowed him to get away with all sorts and after 3-4 rounds he slowed considerably and would start getting tagged by fighters of all levels nevermind someone with Floyds speed, precision and counterpunching ability.

          Lmao do you even watch boxing? Floyd isn't good at cutting off the ring? Lara? I've seen a lot of dumb Floyd takes, but what you just said is ret@rded.

            Floyd is great at everything, cutting the ring off is basic stuff. I disagree with OP, Brooke was a B+ level fighter, Khan was A- level fighter and what Khan brought to the table would have made Floyd look bad, especially at the age Floyd was. I believe Floyd was shot at that time, I believe Floyd beats Khan, but it would have been very difficult.

                2014 Brook was hell of a textbook fighter. He could steal 3-4 rounds from Fluid.

                  Any chance Floyd takes Khan for an exhibition match?

                      I know.

                      Khan mirrors nobody.

                      Mirroring usually happens between extremely skillful fighters who are over analytical.

                      But the fighter who is slightly more skillful or just in the general the better fighter will always win.

                      If Marcus Maidana mirrored Mayweather, he would of lost to him 12-0 etc.
