If you lack punching power, you are going to have a very difficult time beating Amir Khan! (That is why stylistically, Amir Khan vs Floyd Mayweather was a very intriguing/exciting match up! Amir Khan is one of the very few fighters who possess the hand speed to actually land on Floyd Mayweather!)...
I think you're SERIOUSLY underestimating Mayweather's punching power...
I'm a Khan fan...but Floyd destroys him if he wants to...
Khan is fast, sure, even fast enough to bother Floyd...but if Floyd hit him with a right hand counter, it's probably lights out...Comment

This is true, Algieri showed some versatility in that fight and walked Khan down. I think that is the trick, if you stay at a distance with him you will get annihilated, or get lucky.
But the way to get on top of him was literally that, walk him down. He couldn't handle people invading his space and that was the way to get him disorganised.
I do agree with the theory that he was a stylistic nightmare for Floyd though. I consider myself a good reader of styles, and I think Floyd would have problems with Khan's speed, range, and ability to move in and out of distance quickly. That's not to say Floyd could or would not win, but I think he would have to take the Peterson or Algieri approach to do it, and I think he knew if Khan didn't slow down in the second half of the fight it was a potential banana skin.
Khan I think blew hot and cold throughout his career, but occasionally had these incredible nights where everything was on point, and he completely humiliated really good boxers, and it was funny coming on NSB, because no one quite knew how to take these performances. I think Judah, and Devon in particular stand out. Anyway I think on those nights he fought above himself, and it would have been interesting if he had one of those nights against Floyd, how that would have gone.Comment

Not a Canelo fan, I'm just calling it like it is. Khan wasn't hurting Canelo at all. Meanwhile the ginger was working Khans body so thoroughly a feint got him to completely drop his guard, allowing Canelo to land the right hand that ended the fight.Comment

he was amazing against kotelnik as well....This is true, Algieri showed some versatility in that fight and walked Khan down. I think that is the trick, if you stay at a distance with him you will get annihilated, or get lucky.

Mabuza and Judah fought for the vacant belt because Mabuza beat Kendall Holt who was a good fighter. He didn't have 15 losses then.
Of course Judah was still relevant, he had gone life and death with Matthysse the fight before the Mabuza fight and edged him out. He was IBF champ still had a lot in the tank, past his best for sure, but the fact that he pushed Danny Garcia hard 2 years later says a lot.Comment

At times it was downright disgraceful.
Especially since Khan didn't have to resort to those tactics.
Notice the difference between what Khan did here and what Canelo did to Golovkin.
Saul boxed, Khan ran.Comment
