If Floyd had ever decided to fight Khan in the past Floyd would've been killed on this site for cherry picking. Khan still has not beaten a top WW.

Cherry picking? haha

Let's look at some of Floyd's former opponents, how badly was he killed on the site for cherry picking?

Fought Maidana - a guy Amir Khan already beat.
Fought Ortiz - a guy who was beat by Maidana.
Fought Guerrero whose previous 3 opponents were Berto, Aydin and Michael Katsidis!
Fought Marquez by making him come up 2 weight divisions in his first 147 fight.
Fought Canelo at a catchweight.
etc.etc..etc..

Floyd can be killed for cherry picking in all his fights. No matter who you pick at 147 - Brook? Thurman? Too inexperienced, not enough big title fight experience so Floyd = cherry picking.

Floyd's just that good, any fighter at 147 could be viewed as a cherry pick if you want them to be. But Khan is the biggest threat and that's why Floyd Sr thinks he'll beat Floyd.

Shine and get your dream fight.

What if Algieri just kicks him in the face and then retires! And Algieri says, "for me boxing scene.com fans."

LOL @ people saying Floyd's been avoiding Khan for years.

Where was Khan back in 2012? Getting KO'd by Garcia.

In 2013, he struggled with ancient Julio Diaz.

Khan went 12rds with Collazo on his 147 debut and clinched and headlocked an average of 6 times per round as he did a marvelous 78 total. He even got a point taken for holding...almost 2. It was a rigged fight as they're both Haymon. Try and find a post presser on tube. Collazo never once complained about it in press reports and Collazo is not even known to be a clincher. Luis is a seasoned 147... food for thought

I think Khan is a very good boxer. I've never seen him outboxed. I don't think he will beat Floyd (I think Khan will get Ko'ed), but i think he could pose some problems along the way.

The biggest indicator that Khan would cause Floyd some problems - is easy to see - it's that Floyd won't fight him. Use your brains people - he's been avoiding him for ages. Khan was even promised a fight and Floyd effectively pulled out which took Khan out of boxing for a year waiting around for it.

I actually think Khan was a big reason Floyd accepted the Manny fight. He had to pick one of the two. Floyd is a smart fighter but he picks his opponents and often handicaps them. (e.g. Canelo). And there's a reason the Pacquiao fight only happened 5 years on...

Does anyone remmeber the poll Floyd ran on Twitter for his fans to pick his next opponent out of Maidana and Khan? Well Khan won, and guess who Floyd chose - Maidana.

Khan may be delusional but don't be making Floyd's excuses for him.

So have you considered the reason Floyd hasnt fought him, is bcuz the level of opposition hes been facing? How can Khan be rated highly at 147 when he hasnt faced any top rated welters? More importantly, why is khan being rated higher than welters who have beaten better and higher rated welters than Khan has? Is it bcuz hes "fast"?

Sounds like some strange conspiracy theory, not sure what your point is with"food for thought"? Luis didn't complain about being clinched? Well he fought Ricky Hatton before so the number of clinches in the Khan fight were nothing compared to the Hatton fight. He was affectionately known as "The Hugman" (a play on his alias "The Hitman").

Khan had a gameplan he stuck to - fight in flurries and spoil Collazo's work if he gets too close by clinching if necessary. Klitschko does that all the time and never gets a single point taken off. Mayweather did that to Pacquiao repeatedly and didn't have a point taken. Porter clinched the hell out of Alexander. and vice versa at times - no points taken. Brook clinched Porter continuously and didn't have a point taken. And so on.. the examples are endless so why make a big deal out of Khan clinching Collazo?

Wait you said Floyd clinched Pac repeatedly? You are nuts to compare 78 clinches initiated by Khan vs Floyd's total of how many in the Pac fight? All boxers clinch even Pac.
