    If Khan speed is so troubling ... why is he having problems with slow C-level opponents and losing to slow B-Level opponents.
    At the end of the day its all about stylistic contrast.

    By your logic Floyd should have battered Maidana because Alexander did. Khan actually made better work of Maidana than Floyd did.

      No it doesn't equate to contrast at all -- It relates to unsubstantiated claims.

      I never presented a specific comparison reference, I elevated the fact that Khan's supposedly extraordinary speed hasn't benefited him thus far. So why is it assumed to be a factor against the P4P best?

      What guys are stating is illogical ..... Basic deductive reasoning.

          What does Khan have other than speed? He's for sure not a better boxer than Floyd. Khan also can't adapt, as shown in the Garcia fight. Floyd is the master at adapting.

              I think Khan presents the same kind of dilemma that Pacquiao has to some extent. However, Khan isnt the fighter Pacquiao is obviously. They do however both have speed, power and movement, that extra 1 or 2 attributes missing from most of Floyd's opponents.

              Floyd is concerned about losing a decision to Pacquiao because the judges might favor his actviity and aggression. Even if boxing purists believe he indeed won a decision and got robbed, that "official" loss on his belt would be devastating to his legacy and ego.

              If Maidana and Cotto, capable yet limited fighters can win 4 or 5 rounds against Floyd, Pacquiao and Khan will win the same amount at the bare minimum.

              Again, even with different judges it poses the same risk. The fight could be close and Floyd is not interested in sweating out a decision.

                Hmm, Does Khan not realise that boxing includes timing and being caught with counter punches and knocked out and beaten on the inside?

                Garcia timed him and countered him and KO'd him. = part of boxing = Outboxed.

                Peterson beat him on the inside. Inside game = part of boxing = outboxed.

                Prescott set him up nicely for a right hand straight on the chin = part of boxing = outboxed.

                Being outboxed does not mean running around the ring throwing punches. You can be outboxed in many ways. Mr Khan, you have been outboxed and beaten 3 times, all in different ways.

                Dumb guy is Amir Khan. This is pro boxing. If you get KO'd with a shot thrown with purpose, you were outboxed. Simple as that.

                  Keep lying to yourself Khan, it doesn't take much to hurt Khan, timing and catching him with something he doesn't see coming will hurt him

Khan has had a speed advantage over everybody he has fought and that still hasn't stopped him from getting sparked out by lesser fighters. Floyd is a very versatile fighter. You really think Floyd can't walk this bum down? I watched Danny Garcia inch his way close to Khan and beat him down in 4 rounds. And Khan was light years faster than Danny. Give me a goddamn break already. Khan is a great talker. That's about it.
                    I'm not saying he shouldn't fight top level competition at 147. I'm saying he has plenty of time to do that, and if he can get the fight in the near future more power to him.

                    There are only so many names people are interested in seeing Mayweather fight. If he's not finding PAC or Cotto.

                    I have no problem seein Khan get a shot. We all know he's not fighting Thurman, and I doubt Garcia is anywhere in the near future.

                    If you can get the shot more power to him is all I'm saying.

                    I am a Maidana fan , what does beating and overrated Broner make him more
                    deserving when khan has a win over Maidana.

                    I'd like to see Khan fight Broner but Broner wants no part of that right now. I'd even like to see a Garcia rematch, but Garcia doesn't seem interested in that.

                    I saw a bunch of people making excuses for Bradley, when he ducked Khan, and he did duck him before he had the Pacquiao fight secured. It was considered a "smart business decision". Now that he's trying to do the same, it's different.

                      Also khan was easily outboxing Danny until he got caught with a powerful left hook. Power that Floyd does not have nor will he stand in the pocket long enough in the pocket like Danny did.

                      Look I'm not saying khan wins, I just think the matchup could be interesting. I don't want to see Floyd fight another slow flat-footed,plodding, pressure,come straight forward fighter with no movement.
