    Its not as simple as being just drained, Khan had a wrong muscle weight balance, he was top heavy, Roach and his team took the weight/muscle off his top and put it on his legs. W arren had Khan doing alot of weight lifting before his loss. Also his body fat was too low.

    Also, Angel Manfredy was a top contender too when Floyd Koed him in 2 rounds.

    This thread is ****ing ridiculous.

    Now that the OP has been correctly derided, he's trying to pivot the discussion into comparing their future legacies. Through a crystal ball I imagine.

    Like how you only mentioned part of Mayweather's amateur record.

    Add this in:
    1993
    Michigan State Golden Gloves Champion, 106 pounds

    National Golden Gloves Champion, 106 pounds

    1994
    Michigan State Golden Gloves Champion, 112 pounds

    National Golden Gloves Champion, 112 pounds
    Outstanding Boxer Award

    1995
    National PAL Champion, 125 pounds
    Outstanding Boxer Award

    United States Amateur Featherweight champion

    1996
    Michigan State Golden Gloves Champion, 125 pounds

    National Golden Gloves Champion, 125 pounds


    Now what was that? Khan's record at 24 is pathetic compared to Mayweather's, who was in a class of his own.

    floyd's may be better but how is Khans record "pathetic" by comparison?
    Even Floyd himself would probably say not as good as mine but thats a good record.

    Darni, the thread you created is about if Khan has surpassed Floyd at the same age. Now you're trying to spin it into something that it's not. "Khan got his balls and won't ever duck or side step". When Floyd was 24, he already sparked guys at a calibre that Khan has yet to even get close to.

    Regarding ducking or side stepping, Khan is already too concerned with money and always talks openly about guys pricing themselves out like he is some sort of cash cow. Mayweather started this late in his career when he actually was a cash cow. If *******s felt threatened by Khan, they would be starting daily threads about Khan ducking Peterson, do you get what I am saying? Do more research and don't just latch on to uninformed opinions of fanboys who started watching boxing when Pac beat Oscar.

    Have a good weekend.

    Pac's promoter Bob Arum has been paying for his treatment for years.

    No where in this thread have I stated Khan has a better pro record than Floyds, i am just comparing them, but with some posts like Khan's record is not even close is BS to me.

    I think people have a tendency to value the past more than the present, but that being said Floyd record may be better but in my view Khan has done great for his age also and that was the point I was trying to make.

    And as a fan of Khan's I hope he fights Floyd late next year as I think he will suprise alot of people, but that's my view and here on ESB might not share it.

    You to have a good weekend.

    If you believe Khan to be more established/accomplished at 24, you are simply wrong, period.
