Khan's hand speed, footspeed and jab would force Floyd out of his comfort zone and have him on his toes and thinking (same reason Pacquaio would have been an interesting matchup for Floyd).

I think Khan has much more of a chance to beat Mayweather than guys like Bradley, Garcia, Matthyse, and most of the other potential Floyd matchups.
Amir Khan has fast hands. However, Amir Khan's speed didn't help him against Danny Garcia, a far more limited fighter than Floyd Mayweather. Julio Diaz didn't have too many issues with it either. Neither did Lamont Peterson or Breides Prescott. How is his speed going to cause Floyd Mayweather problems if the rest of those guys didn't have many issues with it?

Most of the time, just because fighter A beats fighter B, doesn't mean fighter C beats fighter B. But, if you lose to Danny Garcia, Breides Prescott, Lamont Peterson, and almost lose to Julio Diaz, you aren't beating Floyd Mayweather.
First of all I dont think Khan beats Mayweather but I disagree with the comment above. A)Khan got caught early against Prescott and didnt have a chance to show his speed. B) He had Perterson down on the 1st round and had him in trouble. Peterson was on steroids that gave him the extra edge. C) Garcia was in trouble, was getting picked apart and had a nasty cut. If he hadnt caught him he could have been stopped.

I think Khan has a better chance of beating Floyd then Garcia because there is a chance Khan could win on points. No way in hell is Garcia getting a points victory against Mayweather and Mayweather is too good at avoiding getting hit to be troubled by Garcias hooks
It wasn't a question of who would be easier for Floyd, Garcia or Khan, but whether Khan has a legitimate chance at beating Mayweather. So he had moments against Peterson, Prescott, and Garcia? The point is all those guys found ways to beat Khan, and they are nowhere near the level of Mayweather. If Garcia can time him, if Peterson can force him to fight Peterson's fight, and if Prescott can land that punch, Mayweather can do all those things and a lot more. I'm sorry but it was the same thing with Guerrero; Khan just isn't a challenge for Mayweather. He just isn't. I can't see it.

Missy hates Khan. I feel her. I don't, but against Mayweather, it's just a different level. @Beanflicker thinks very, very highly of Khan. Khan is a good fighter. He's a solid top ten junior welterweight (I think?). Who has been his best win at junior welterweight? Judah? Paulie? Am I missing someone?
