Let Khan fight Broner. That way at least one myth will be dispelled.
I would pick khan to beat broner as long as he sticks to boxing right now i would say khans the fastest boxer out there also think pacmans slightly faster than floyd.
I possibly agree about Khan vs Broner as long as he keeps out of harms way, but there's always a chance at the top level that the opponent will get his chances and connect and that's where Khan's problems lie. Almost impossible for any fighter to steer clear of his opponent for 12 rounds.
It's more about how you react to getting hurt. Unfortunately Khan's instinct is to act brave and try to "War it out" and even encourage your opponent on despite the fact that your legs are wobbling. Other boxers, even including Mayweather instinctively either hold on or avoid further punches until their head is cleared. What Khan needs to realise (and I don't think he ever will!) is that there is no shame in getting hurt, or even taking a count, but it's about getting the "W".
for the record, I also believe Pacquiao is faster than Khan and Mayweather isn't much slower, but the key is that Mayweather is much more accurate in attack and his reactions in defence are second to none.
