    Floyd was terrified of a guy who was not well liked enough to make him worth fighting. No money in it.

    Floyd was smart enough to not waste his time on Amir "*****" khan.

    The Amir of the glass jaw!

    Waste of time.

      Don't recall the last time he fought a guy with Khan's intangibles ..

      Who was the fast set guy he ever fought ? A shot Judah ?

        Pacquiao was still quick.

        Floyd has the reach advantage.

          Pac? Wasn't he the guy people were saying had equally, if not faster hands? Don't give me that ****. You can have all the speed in the world, means nothing if you haven't got the timing or range.

            Pacquiao also lost because he can't cut off the ring to save his life.

              For real, because I am lost here.
              If Khan was no threat and was the bigger payday in a retirement bout that would have done double the amount of ppv buys that a fight with Berto produced, why choose Berto instead?

              Khan brings speed, workrate, reach and an awkward style. Maybe Floyd wasnt comfortable dealing with that. Khan is too brave for his own good. He would have shown up to bring it to Floyd or get KO'd trying.

                Khan brings a glass jaw, & ass clownage to the ring. Ramadan???

                Rama lama ding ding dong.

                He is nothing. Brings nothing. Ass clown.

                Allah does not want glass jaw representing him.


                No disrespect intended.

                  Again, Floyd has the longer reach.

                  If Garcia and Algieri can time Khan, Floyd can.

                    It wasn't his retirement bout. I think everyone knows he fighting again. Why did Khan fight Algieri and not Brook?

                      Yes but Khan has a longer reach than many of Floyd's past opponents and only a 1" reach shorter than Floyd with his chimp arms.

                      Floyd obviously saw something in Khan that he didnt like. Why else would you choose to make less money against a less marketable fighter?
