    Well, you selectively left out the facts again.

    Barrera wasn't ranked anywhere when Khan fought him.

    Whereas both Pacquaio and Mosley were Top 5 at WW and Top 5 P4P.

    Marquez Top 5 at LW but not WW and Top 5 P4P.

    Come on, these are facts remember.

      Khan avoided getting knocked out by Maidana and was handling Canelo's power for the first 6 rounds before being flattened by the mother of all right hands. Therefore, I don't think it's a huge stretch to say that prime Khan (pre-Canelo/Crawford etc) could've taken Brook's best shots plus he had the speed advantage back then so wouldn't have been tagged as often as when they finally fought.

        Khan has a worse chin, squares up too much, can’t fight moving backwards, has clunky footwork, poor upper body coordination and throws all his punches at the same speed. He had zero for Floyd. Danny and Prescott stopped him, Floyd would’ve done so as well.

            Manny shamed himself having a Poll Khan won and then not fighting the winner .

              Who in the **** cares who brought in more fans. Amir Khan had nothing for Floyd at all. He couldn’t handle any of those elite boxers. Khan won like one poll out of several. I was out of school by 2014. I first got into high school back in 2001. So add it up

                It's crazy how this topic is brought up just because Khan is fast. Why do we act like Floyd has never dealt with speed? Pacquiao is fast, probably faster than Khan. Floyd beat him pretty easy.

                    Nobody knows who would win and Floyd could have made a fight with Khan, but Khan wasn't another slow short armed flat footed come forward fighter that will have the Floyd Boys googleeyed. He definitely had enough speed skill and heart to make it a long night for a powder puff punching ww like Mayweather.

                    Khan actually brought more money to the table so the reward was high but so was the risk above 40% you know Floyd don't take those type risks.
