    Floyd deserves an easy fight. Khan can be it. Or Garcia for his belts.

      No fighter that squares up is beating Mayweather, not even at 38. Don't care how many times I have to repeat myself when I say this, if and when it happens, expect a lot of the same looping right hands that had Cotto backing up. In this fight however it's gonna get around the guard so much easier.

        actually I did worse. I had done a video edit of all the clinches. I then added a clip from Larry Merchant from a Radio Raheem interview where he said ''fighters should be penalized for holding, particularly prize fighters.'' It was a week after the Khan bout. I want to believe he was insinuating Khan. Nonetheless no joke he did clinch and headlock for 78 times throughout 12 rounds which is about 6 holds a round, 95% all from Khan. You can see that bout Collazo was frustrated. Personally I think it was rigged but Collazo was too casual about it nor did he complain about nor did a post presser nor did he tweet about it. It was the most holding of 2014 for any bout. I'm wondering if Haymon had set it up...

          I wouldn't say he's a breeze but it's not as tough a match-up as some may think. Khan is susceptible to hooks and looping shots as seen in the Garcia and Maidana fights so I wouldn't be surprised if Floyd dropped him. But it's a better fight than Garcia who is more than a breeze for Floyd.

            Will you explain what squaring up in this context means and provide some examples.

              Virgil will keep him outside and tell him to hug inside.

              Floyd can easily pick Khan apart when he comes in.

              I could easily see Floyd putting Khan down at least once in a UD.
              Only problem with that is Floyd is longer than Khan is on the outside, while being a world's better fighter on the inside.

              Floyd picks him apart from range, throws that pull-counter whenever Khan tries to jab his way in, and when he reverts to the bad habits that he picked up earlier (when Plan A stops working), Floyd likely walks him into some ****.

                Lol I hope you're right but I don't see it.

Fighting inside and staying on him like Castillo. Sorry, Khan has no inside game and he doesn't have the guts to rough anyone up. He actually got roughed up by Peterson.
                  The key was Pac's hesitancy after the KO you dipsht.

Khan is just flash but no thump. Khan couldn't do anything to Collazo, and Floyd's defense supersedes Alexander by miles. Khan clinched, headlocked for a total of 78 times in the Collazo bout!!
                    Khan knocked Callazo down 3 times...
