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?Comment

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.Comment

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

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...Comment
