    I feel like Khan was being so annoying Floyd didn't want anything to do with him tbh. Which is downright hilarious

      Floyd would have walked Khan down. It would have been a mirror image of the McGregor fight, because Khan would have fought a similar way, just faster.

          Prime Khan had all the tools to beat Floyd, and Floyd knew it that’s why he ducked.
          Khan was better than Guerrero and Ortiz and Maidana.
          Truth hurts kid, I know.
          What tools are those?

            Khan would have given Floyd problems. His hand speed and length would have been able to keep Floyd at bay.
            Now would Floyd have adjusted and eventually gotten inside and checked that chin? Most likely.
            Not saying Floyd ducked Khan but he knew his style would have been a challenge and had easier options more Taylor made for his style like Ortiz, Maidana, Guerrero etc.. Khan had just as good a resume as those guys.

              At that time, with Roach, Khan has blinding handspeed and some type of OK defence, would take a clubber with some skill to beat him.

                But WHEN did Khan beat him? Like a long time ago before his chin became shot. Amir was not better than anyone Floyd faced. Because his career was on a downward spiral at that time, while the guys Floyd was facing were big as hell and strong. Amir had speed, nothing else, and at that point he started slowing down anyways. People didnt want Floyd to fight him because they felt it would be a quick KO.

                  In Khan's only decent win of his entire career, vs Maidana, he STILL DID THE FUNKY CHICKEN DANCE, most people have bad memory, go WATCH THE FIGHT and see for yourself, KHAN DID THE FUNKY CHICKEN DANCE even in his best fight.

                      If Khan can't do nothing else he could outbox a boxer and Floyd knew that. Floyd would have everything to lose losing to Khan. The Floyd Boys love to talk about how many guys Floyd called out that ducked him, well this is a guy that called Floyd out to the point of stalking him, and they make up every excuse possible.

                      So, in the risk vs reward factor Khan was too high of a risk.
                      What A level boxer has Khan outboxed? In fact, what b level boxer has Khan outboxed? I'll wait even tho I dont expect an answer. Anyone who thinks Khan is a great boxer is delusional. Anyone who thinks Khan would EVER beat Floyd is delusional. And I mean even right now if they fought Khan would lose.
