    Just to reiterate. . Floyd does hand pick his opponents these days and is very cute on which weight they meet him at.
    I think Khan would give him a real test and maybe the only fighter who beats him for speed.
    Infact I think Khan poses the biggest threat to him ;-)

    Khan would make it a fun fight to watch for a few rounds, that's it. He has no chance at all of actually winning. Floyd always pursues the highest possible payday, which may have not always correlated with the biggest threats but anyone would do the same.

    I think it would be fun all the way and not just few rounds , when was the last time we saw Floyd more than matched for speed ;-)
    Khan would definitely pose problems and Floyd would have to work every second of every round.
    Floyd hardly had to get out of 2nd gear against Canelo and was puffing away between the latter rounds so his age could be a huge factor against someone like Khan.
    Not suggesting Khan would win but for me its a very very tough night for Floyd ;-)

    All Khan matches him with is speed though. He doesn't have a clue how to box on that level otherwise, and if he did he wouldn't get knocked senseless every other time out. If Khan truly were competitive past the midway point Floyd would just go on the attack and get him out of there, we are talking about one of the only world class fighters Floyd could easily hurt. It's not even a fight imo.

    Yeah thats what i said above , maybe Floyd would stop him but what i do know is Khan would test him and def go after him, Khan would force him to fight at a fierce pace and would bring the best out of him.

    This is a fight that will happen and your crazy if you think Khan wont make this a real fight and will just go away, he doesnt, he pressures with speed non stop and that is is biggest downfall ... the boy loves a tear up too much but is always always exciting to watch

    I don't think at this point in his career it matters if he's hand picking or not...he's not fighting bums like everyone else is, he's fighting boxers that everyone swears will give him a tough fight until the fight happens. Then he dominates like he always does. He's just that good.

    I think that's overblown a bit. He took some bombs from Maidana. Khans problem is getting caught out of position.

    That is simply not correct. Who did he hand pick and whats cute about the weight he meets them at? If you want to get technical Ray Robinson hand picked his opponents.
