    Floyd was developed further because he learnt more about inside fighting after being school bullied by castillo.
    Floyd showed his in fighting skills long before the Castillo fight. If that was the case then Castillo would have knocked him out or dominated him.

      but lacked the basics to beat a well rounded fighter like barrera
      well he was 50 -60% of Muhammad Ali at one thing. You know what that is.

      So I've got to give him props for that.

          Read my post carefully. I said "Developed further".

          Anyway Floyd is a God given talent. Much Much more than Khans talent. So of course he would have infighting skills already present.

          Khans talent from the very beginning was speed, not infighting.

          So whats the problem with him learning it from roach?

          IMO he will soak up the information like a sponge.

                  Well, Khan might as well take over after Pac/Floyd retires.
                  yea...a guy who was headlining major ppvs and filling venues is a "no name"

                  whatever.

                      Jones was only a boy of 24 when he beat Hopkins back in 93, one year older then Khan. Did he miss that "speed, power and movement of the complete professional?"
