    Floyd is on another level than Alexander.

      No doubt but Khan has never struggled against a pure boxer in his pro career. The last time he did was in the Olympic finals against a world reknowned Cuban when he was ONLY 17!!!!

      And funny you mention Alexander, he done a much better job on Maidana then both Floyd and Khan.

        I just don't think Khan can outthink Floyd.

        It'd be like chess vs. checkers.

        The thing is that even if your opponent isn't a hard puncher, it's still not a good idea to keep getting hit. Khan has no head movement.

          Is it just me, or is Khan's 1-2 sloppy as hell?

            Unless you're Hopkins or Rigondeaux you're not outthinking Floyd. But what would make it interesting is Khans blazing handspeed and if he can land on Mayweather.

            The only reason this fight is interesting is because I believe khan can land on Mayweather, I'm not saying he'll beat him but just watching a guy who can hit Floyd for a change would be good.

              I'd favor Floyd.

                Neither does Floyd

                Unfortunately for Amir, Floyd is better than him at boxing

                  Amir will have no answer once his jab gets neutralized by Floyd outjabbing him

                    I've heard people talk about Khan's jab, but I don't think it's anything special.

                    I think people confuse a quick jab with a good one.

                      That's one thing I'm not sure Floyd can do.
