Well he's also got a world class jab with bite and you need one of those. He moves well and does not plod in and rinse and repeat. He's got a solid hook and good feet. I think he'd be the most difficult style Floyd has faced in years, maybe ever. Floyd has fought guys that suited his shell D 95% of the time. Whens the last time he faced a boxer/puncher who is quite possibly better skilled offensively then he is? That is what is so cool about the sport. It does not matter who Khan lost to in this match-up. Khan has issues with swarmer/brawler types that crowd him and get him into fights he shouldn't be in. Floyd is not doing that. And in case anyone hadn't noticed, it would appear that entropy also effects Floyd. He's lost a step be it physical, mental or a mixture of the two and nothing could be more obvious given he last two outings.
So not only do Khans physical abilities matchup better then most, his timing should this happen could also prove to be impeccable. Could look a little Hearns/Leonard like. I doubt the fight materializes. Barring any controversy I think the winner of Devon and Khan will be gunning for Brook. Khan may have a dream but I think it will remain one.
