anything Khan can do, Floyd can nullify. Khan could possibly beat Floyd to the punch and match him for speed but he would have to also show he can pop @ 147 to make it interesting. I doubt that though. the only style to beat Floyd is an extremely aggressive pressure fighter with knockout power in each hand, that can box on the outside and cut off the ring and take away or shrug off Floyd's pot shots and force him to open up. basically, a Kovalev style fighter that can match Floyd's hand and foot speed. unfortunately that guy doesn't exist @ 147.

Pretty much what iv'e been saying and what the entire board was saying prior to Khan taking a few L's..this is BIZARRO world though, where everyone seems to think that Maidana poses more pugilistic problems for floyd than a guy like Khan, because he happened to just beat Broner.Comment

And he does do rematches. He rematched the one guy where the decision was actually in dispute and that was Castillo, and he rematched him immediately.Comment

My point exactly. Floyd has more chance of stopping Miadana than he does Khan. I just can't understand how people aren't looking at the style matchup. It's the same everytime, a fighter has a good win and they are KING KONG on bscene.Comment

A serious question then, to you and to everyone. What tool or tools does Miadana have that will give Floyd problems??
At least Khan is fast and uses his jab and tries to box and move. That might give a 36 year old Floyd some issues. Maidana will just walk himself into traps all night and get blown away when he gasses.Comment
