The difference between Khan and Floyd.......

[Roksan]

While I believe Floyd would beat Khan, your example there doesn't matter. Who cares what Khan looked like? Look at Pacquiao after his fights. Is the difference between Mayweather and Pacquiao huge? No. Look at Ali after Frazier with his jaw destroyed. Does that mean Floyd is miles ahead of Ali? No. There's better ways to point out why Floyd is better than Khan. Khan would pose some problems, but I think Floyd beats him.

But Khan was facing a limited slugger. Roach said before the fight that Khan wouldn't lose a round. Roach also said before the fight that Khan was ready for Mayweather NOW!

Again boxing fans cant tell the difference between offensive and defensive fighters

Khan just took a right bigger then any floyd has taken in recent memory

Very true and Khan took on a young in his prime Maidana. Floyd has never done this!!!!! This was a risky tough fight and Khan did enough to win. You have to give him props, for having the balls to take a fight he had a legitimate shot at losing.

Floyd could take notes from this. Also Floyd is content to throw one punch at a time and not cruise to a decision. When was the last time you saw Floyd put anyone down from a vicious body shot or throw with any conviction period. Props to Maidana for getting up and recovering.

I'm not saying Khan is better at this point but Floyd has cheated the boxing fans out of many fights they wanted due to the risk factor. Gotta give Khan props for taking this fight.

So are you saying Maidana's right was harder (or even faster) than Shane Mosely's right hand that connected on Floyd?

Mosely's right hand that hit Floyd would have ktfo of Khan.

Mosley landed one good shot. Floyd wasn't in there fighting a young Mosley in his prime at the peak of his career the way Khan did with Maidana.

Look,if you want to ride the Khan express,be my guest.Floyd has taken risks throughout his career and fought top level fighters.

Mosely landed 2 shots in that round that would have stopped a lot of people-let alone Khan.They were fast shots that nobody seen coming,whereas Maidana landed that one slow,but clean punch on Khan.

True,it wasn't a prime Mosely,but then again Floyd tried to fight an undefeated Shane-do you remember the excuses that Shane came up with???!!! Would you even say that Floyd himself is currently in his prime? He is a guy who is just as inactive as Shane,perhaps more because he fights once a year and has done this for quite a while.

At the end of the day,Floyd fought Shane who was highly regarded as the best in his division at the time-nobody knew Shane would gas out after he expended his energy in the second round.Khan finally "manned up" and fought Maidana thinking it would be easier than it was because he looked to have stamina issues and looked like crap against an old and recently ko'd Demarcus Corley!

If and when Floyd fights Khan,he will get no credit anyways-you will hear excuses that Khan was either "too green" or "he had to move up in weight", etc

God damn you're an idiot. Either that or an Alzheimer's patient.

You also need to realize that Floyd and Khan are very different with styles.... Floyd has brilliant defense and is getting criticized by yourself for not taking too many shots....isn't the name of the game to hit and not be hit?

To compare the stage of Floyd's career (he is at the tail end of his) with Khan (who still has a lot to prove and is early in his career) makes little to no sense.

When Castillo gave Floyd hell,he immediately gave him a rematch-would Khan do the same for Maidana???

I agree Khan will not do nearly as well as Floyd.
As for the rematch many people thought Floyd lost a close but clear decision. Khan on the other hand won a close but clear decision.

khan never said he has better defence then floyd and at least he's trying to fight the best out there unlike mayweather

Is that meant to be some sort of accomplishment? I'm sure everyone would rather not take the shots in the face.

The similarity is there was controversy in both Floyd's fight and Khan's (would you wager your life savings that the ref did not have anything to do with the outcome-even on a decision????).

The difference is, Floyd (who claimed to have had an injury in the first fight) had ended the controversy and gave Castillo an immediate rematch.

You are "trigger happy" in glorifying one guy's career (Khan) over another without looking at the facts and instead choose to do this over opinion probably due to current popularity-a ridiculous way to use logic.
