    Floyd's thing isn't just avoiding your punches - he stops you from throwing them in the first place also. Khan at this point would be out of his depth against Mayweather. In my opinion always would be against a close to prime Mayweather although if he manages to catch him on the way out he may be able to grab a win.

      This is a joke. Khan would lose his speed advantage - he's faster than Mayweather, but he wouldn't have the same huge advantage that he's used to - and as he'd eat pinpoint-accurate check hooks and straight rights all night. How long do you think he could take those? Three rounds? Four?

        khan would out box floyd for 4 rounds, during which floyd would have already figured out Freddie roaches gameplan. So from there on it will get ugly.

        Again for Khan to beat floyd, he would need to adapt in real time to changing situations. I believe he has partially shown this ability during the malignaggi fight.

        Floyd takes this, but khan would survive longer than hatton because khan is a defensively minded fighter and he would protect his china at all costs.

            You know, this is a fight I would love to see, Obviously Floyd would knock Khan out, but I would like to see if Khan's boxing ability would cause Mayweather any problems.

              Khan will win by UD over Floyd. Floyd's legs are gone. If Khan faces Pac, Khan will brutally hit canvas around round 7.

                Paulie and Floyd arelight years away and I don't see Khan being as effective or frustrating Floyd like that...

                  How did Pac get in this convo??? Still pac would end up through the ropes against khan...

                    It's just a very fast jab and the margin for error is very small. I wouldn't think it was worth it.

                    Floyd would find the easiest way to win the fight.

                      True His jab is fast and crisp but you can see it coming it's easy to time. Floyd would pick him apart at this stage in the game...
