I feel like Khan was being so annoying Floyd didn't want anything to do with him tbh. Which is downright hilarious
Video: Why Floyd stalled Khan out and never fought him

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.Comment

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.Comment

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.Comment

Floyd wanted low risk, easy fights he wanted slow, flat footed, short armed guys that he could keep at a distance and potshot all night and get a decision on the scorecards.
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.Comment
