    I understand your points but i think alot of people are choosing khan because he is the one guy that can offset Floyd's advantages like hand speed...

    If Khan can fight a super disciplined fight, he can cause trouble for floyd...

    i think thats what alot of people are thinking, because honestly i cant think of a super-quick fighter floyd has ever faced...
    Zab judah comes the closest and judah was winning early vs floyd until floyd made adjustments and zab isnt mentally the strongest...

      I would say Khan and Canelo. I think Canelo will trouble Floyd because of his youth and size more than anything. A younger Floyd would probably wipe the floor with Canelo.

      Khan's style would always be troublesome. Floyd has never fought anyone who's faster than him - arguably Judah. Mayweather tends to chose slow opponents with no movement and no jab.

      What does going 12 have to do with it? Yeah they'd go 12 and lose every round. What do these guys do that presents a more difficult challenge to Mayweather than Khan?

        Garcia and Matt's can think,and are not predictable with their combinations..Both have very underrated boxing I.Q.while Khan's is very overrated..Matt's would give Floyd loads of trouble,Khan not making it 12 is a lot to do with the point I'm trying to make..To easy to hit,and does not take punches well..Spells his chance is very slim to none at all bro..

            Boxing IQ? So Garcia and Matthysse are going to out-think Mayweather?

            Danny Garcia is slow and flat-footed. He has no defence. All he really has is a left hook and when Mayweather takes that away, it's a shut out.

            How exactly would Matthysse trouble Mayweather?

              Did I say they would out think Mayweather??Or is that you putting words in my mouth??

              I'm just pointing out that both have better I.Q. then Khan..Both would be stronger in the clinch(where May would beat dog **** out of Khan at)then Khan..Matt's put's his punches together very well,he also does a great job of cutting the ring off..Add in the guy hit's like a ****ing train,imo he has the best style for Mayweather at this point..Garcia is to flat footed,I agree..He is also unpredictable..Floyd would be far more cautions with a fighter like Garcia then he would be with Khan..A frill fighter willing to exchange with a fighter like Mayweather..Khan ends the fight looking up at the lights..

                  Doesn't matter if you think they have better IQ than Khan, none of these guys are close to Mayweather in that department so it's a moot point.

                  You need speed, you need athleticism and you need a good jab. Slow, flat footed brawlers/punchers are food and drink for Floyd Mayweather. I would have thought that much would obviously.

                  I guarantee you that Khan would win more rounds at least, in fact I'd be willing to bet Garcia and Mathysse wouldn't win a single round between them.

                    Idk if khan would win around he might not last a couple rounds.

                      I guarantee he would win some early rounds. Floyd would take a while to adjust to his superior speed. Mayweather doesn't knock many people out so I don't know where you get the idea he would ice Khan early, I assume you're trolling or being deliberately ******ed. A knockout is not out of the question but it'd probably come late if he were able to figure out Khan and start breaking him down.

                      Garcia would be the easiest fight. There would be nothing for Floyd to have to adjust to. It would be target practice from round 1.
