Answer with logical reasoning: Why did Floyd and Pac not fight Khan?

[Eastcoast]

Khan looked to have clear shot at getting the Mayweather fight over Maidana, but he canceled his fight with Devon Alexander for the IBF title and sat idle for a long time.

Khan accomplished nothing during his time at 147, I still can't figure out why he's so highly regarded? His best wins were Juda and Mallinaggi, that's not impressive, especially when you factor in he's been KO'd badly twice.

timing is great but you need reaction speed and handspeed to actually execute the punch, hence why Floyd is the best counterpuncher in the sport. He can literally pull/counter someone within a split second, combine that with blinding handspeed and a fighters output will drastically reduce.

Amirs volume and speed causes problems for fast fighters, its far easier to time and counter someone with slow handspeed and low output. Then add that Amir has comparable arm length to floyd which also negates one of Floyd's main advantages.

Tarver and forrest werent slow btw, and they also had a signficant height/arm length advantage over Roy and Shane.

You talk about all this speed and volume that amir has. But algeiri,peterson,garcia,Prescott,diaz all handled that speed and volume and they didn't do it using speed. They stayed close to him. He has no inside game . And it will be exposed again on may 7. Floyd would just potshots khan and once khan gets close enough he would clinch and make khan restart. Khan has the physical attributes to beat floyd. He just doesn't have the mind to beat floyd

Khan is a fast fighter, but he isn't a smart fighter. And that has always been his downfall. And that will be his downfall on Saturday.

Great post! Khan is not in Floyd's or Manny's league. Matter of fact, noone at welterweight is. Khan would get KO'ed by Manny and hurt against Floyd. He makes too many mistakes and isn't smart enough. That's the bottom line. People can say well, Floyd and Manny didn't fight him. So! Manny didn't fight him because he priced himself out!!!!!!! Floyd didn't fight him because he did to Floyd, what Floyd does to everyone else. LoL. Talk too much!!! It was fun to see Khan get under his skin. Hahaha. Anywho, great post!

Maidana was coming off of the Broner win which lets be honest Broner was being brought along and built up to be sacrificed to Floyd to do big numbers, I think the Chino Floyd fight would have done better than Khan by far Garcia left his imprint on Khan.

Why didnt Khan get the PAC fight ? The guy aligned himself with Haymon I guess and they wanted to keep profits in house just like Haymon does, Top Rank aint no different or better.
