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

    Its always been quite evident to me at least that Floyd isn't great at cutting the ring off
    All out pressure fighters, were the fighters who did best against Mayweather.

    Any fighter who decides to stay on the outside, box him, move, use long range attacks? Never did so well, not many anyway.

    Miguel Cotto was a good mover, he could of played that game 'But he understood that, this was not his best tactic'.

    Floyd Mayweather as Champion pretty much face every single style, so I have no idea why? You are trying to make out like he was not tested.

    Mayweather has shown that he can fight in every single area 'At elite level'.

      Brook dared fight ggg. Something floyd daren't do. People wanted floyd to fight brook but floyd never showed any urgency to fight who you wanted him to fight. No trouble making the guerrero, ortiz, bert o fights which nobody asked for?
      floyd fights who he wants to

        He just plods forward following his opponent with a high held guard. He can't cut a ring off at all and that should be evident to anyone with a pair of eyes.

          Tremendous boxer and a great on the backfoot but he wasn't no way near as good on the front and literally can't cut a ring off and its more obvious than ever in these exhibitions and with his new frontfoot heavy style he's adopted.

          To a degree sure he carried Conor but he also simply just can't cut a ring off and its clear for all to see.
          All the evidence you need is right there on Youtube. Its no sleight on him he won every fight he ever had but like every fighter that came before or after he has his limitations and weaknesses.
          If anyone thinks he is good at cutting a ring off idk what too tell them or what they're watching

            I think Floyd takes a few rounds to adjust to (prime) Khan much like he did Zab, and then he would take over and dominate Khan. Brook I think keeps the rounds closer throughout but likely won’t win as many as Khan manages to in the early rounds.
