Floyd is a ''Stylistic Cherry Picker'' who believes that?

This dude is so dumb that he does not see when they are setting him up for a counter, dude is so dumb he can't follow the plan he gets hurt. And don't let Floyds "brittle" hands fool you, he does have a good punch much better then Diaz had. All Khan brings is speed, something he doesn't even know how to use properly to his advantage and you are telling me that his going to trouble an A level fighter like Floyd?
    First, I think Floyd would easily defeat Khan. However, aside from speed, Khan's variety of angles gave Paulie a ton of problems and the variety of angles Khan fed Paulie had absolutely nothing to do with lateral movement.

    The most vulnerable Floyd has looked in the past 5 years was against Mosley in round 2 and that had nothing to do with lateral movement, but more to with with Mosley's ability to vary his shot selection combined with speed which resulted in Floyd getting rocked to the point of concern.

    Khan simply exists to Floyd as nothing more than an opponent who requires more effort to defeat. Floyd has no interest in opponents like that. He wants the easiest payday he can find that takes the minimal effort but gives him maximum results.

      Yet if they where to fight Floyd would probably counter and knockdown Khan under five rounds

      That slow plodder gave Floyd a good fight something Khan would never be able to do. Deal with it

        Yes Mosley who actually knows how to place his shots and is an actual puncher. Khan doesn't have that in his toolbox. His fast that cannot be denied but at the same time he does not know how to set up his punches or where to place those shots. He throws his punches so wild that it kinda defeats the purpose of having fast hands.

        No Khan exist only for Floyd to get another big easy payday let's not kid ourselves.

          Floyd might even be able to knock Khan out, a feat Floyd hasn't been able to perform legitimately since Hatton. But the facts remain, Khan takes too much effort and Floyd wants the easiest opponents he can get so he can purchase more luxury yachts at your expense.

            Sorry friend. But the combinations Khan used to overwhelm Malignaggi were superior in every way (aside from power) to whatever Mosley successfully against Mayweather.

            And I am glad we are both in agreement that Khan is just another easy pay day for Floyd.

            Therefore, you surely must agree that Floyd selected Maidana rather than Khan on the simple notion that Maidana was cherry picked as a stylistically easier opponent.

              Khan is just an easier bigger payday then Maidana. That I can agree with you

                The ortiz fight i liked and i thought he would give floyd a lot of trouble but i forgot how much of a mental midget victor was..not floyd's fault..

                The maidana fight was another one coz good pressure fighter is one of his weaknesses to look good againts( thus the jlc1 fight, chavez fight)..reason why hoya utilized such approach and somehow successful.....this to me proves sweetpea whitaker is levels above floyd in every department but defense...floyd cuts his opponents offensive workrate in half but keeps his offense minimal...sweetpea does it while keeping his offense and more....floyd adapts, sweetpea beats you at your own game..sweetpea's inside figting was superb...he wouldve made maidana look like a clown regardless of the referee(ref. Chavez fight)..what killed the maidana fight for me was the gloves and the referee style..

                Floyd fought at full 154 already so the 152 cw was definitely a ***** move but nobody thought canelo had a chance anyways..guerrero was a garbage fight, i think its worse than pac's algieri fight...imo

                  I respectfully disagree. Khan's speed, variety of attack and even his wild movements make his the more difficult payday.

                  Maidana had success with Floyd in the first fight because he was able to take advantage of his 165 pound weight. In the rematch, Maidana was 157? Whatever his weight was definitely did not give him the speed or agility of Amir Khan

                      He threw more combinations if that's what you mean. Mosley only had 3 rounds of fight left in him during that night and that was his last hurrah in his long and illustrious career. Don't get me wrong if Floyd ends up fighting Khan my family and I would buy that pay per view. We buy most ppv event's but I rather see Floyd fight someone more credible then Khan and of course Manny for his last two fights. But then yet again we are talking about "Health comes first" Maywether so you guys might get your wish and Floyd cherry picks Khan
