    no one is beating floyd so you basically have to find boxers that might win a few rounds against him.

        I've been saying that Khan's lack of ring IQ, more than his lack of punch resistance, has been his downfall.

        He doesn't use/know multiple feints, when to feint, or feint often enough... He barely understands when to reset because he's being setup/timed for counters... He doesn't know how or when to clinch... And, at times, he lacks technique. Khan has lightning speed/quickness, but like Major League hitters can get to a 100 MPH Fastball, fighters can get to Khan. He has no changeup, curve, slider, etc. to throw off other fighters. It's one speed...

        Against the fighter that has the best timing and accuracy in boxing, he's going to be target practice... eventually. If he had deceptiveness or a higher ring IQ, he'd have a good chance at an upset, but he doesn't.

        I'd still be more interested in Mayweather-Khan (if he can beat Alexander) than any other fight involving Mayweather at 147 (sans Pacquiao). He's rarely in a boring fight and his speed and style is still more intriguing than any other fighter (sans Thurman).
