Khan didn't have the power to hurt Algeri and Algeri just turned it into a dog fight.
    Floyd doesn't have the power, but Khan doesn't have the power to hurt Floyd either.

    Khan would be fucked if he tried to clinch Floyd, because Floyd actually has an inside game.

      I guarantee you that if Floyd DID choose Khan, people would be *****ing that he picked a guy who struggled against Algieri.

        and that's exactly why it would have been an interesting fight. Khan struggles against punchers and Floyd isn't a puncher so it would have been interesting to see how it panned out. You're right Floyd is good on the inside but if Floyd were to fight on the inside he would have surely taken some shots. They wouldn't have hurt Floyd but it would have been interesting to see someone land on him for a change.

          Peterson isn't a puncher either.

          Floyd would just time Khan.

            And Peterson never hurt khan. Have you forgotten how many shots Peterson ate to get his punches off? He was down 3 times in the opening 2 rounds.

              Floyd would just adjust.

              Khan has a low ring IQ, and poor defense.

                That's exactly how I remember it. Khan was the cherrypick, and he's done **** all since then.

                  I recall Khan struggling against ancient Julio Diaz.

                    Khan never struggles against pure boxers.

                      That most certainly happened. Floyd would've been crucified for fighting Khan instead of Maidana.
