    I think Floyd can hurt him to the body but I see it as a chess match. I think the fighter to beat Floyd now at 37 is the Maidana type fighters. Big strong pressure fighters who can punch. The kind of fighters Floyd toyed with in his prime. I think that's the recipe now.

      If you think Maidana is awkward, I'm willing to bet Khan's lightning speed is lot more difficult to deal with. Floyd has never fought an opponent like that.

      Khan has faster handspeed, and footspeed. And if Floyd needs a hug, he can deliver that too.
      see Collazo bout?? you mean the way past prime Collazo?? who even still managed to hurt Khan? but keep hyping Khan..we dealt with the Maidana fans now i guess it is the Khan fans turn to make up **** after he loses

        As Floyd is slowing down I think someone with a stiff jab and good inside game would give him fits. That's not khan and I really can't think of anyone besides GGG and he's way too big to be a realistic opponent anyway. MANNY would still cause some trouble I think just because of the movement, punch output and straight lefts but he'd get countered with the right hand all night as well. Not many fights out there to test Floyd..

          It's a way past prime Floyd, people say the guy's prime was in 2005. He's not the fighter he once was and you know it.

          Mind you, Khan is probably a couple of years past his prime too but he's hungry.

            Neither, did Maidana, Canelo, Ortiz or any of Floyd's opponents.

            Lmao, Floyd walking down Khan.

He does not have a great jab nor does he commit to it...He has ineffective speed which means he throws sloppy combos with out any base to them. Khan is a counter punchers dream.. His timing sucks and he has no since of distance..all ya'll talk about is his speed which honestly is not all that
              Lol! That's why Floyd cherry picked him with his silly vote but due to public disapproval was forced to pick Maidana instead

                I like when Khan runs, it is called out, but when Mayweather sprints around, then it becomes footwork.

                  Mayweather and Collazo have never been in the same stratosphere...a 50 year old Floyd beats a prime Collazo by a wide ud

                    Khan is a big welterweight there is no way floyd is walking through him. If Maidana can land his jab so can can khan with better accuracy.
