Khan will give Floyd the fight of his life, I cant wait till this fight is made. Khan is smart in the ring, before he used to fight for crowds, Roach has changed this, Khan vs Zab was pure control. Khan was right saying post fight you got to play Floyd with his own game, Khan's jab alone will give Floyd new problems, Khan will bring lots of problems to Floyd make no mistake. Speed Kills, Floyds time is soon up.
Timing and distance counter speed. Khan has no inside game and cant fight moving backwards. Floyd would walk him down and pick him apart. If Khan lunged in like he still does mayweather would catch him for fun. Khan is like many other fighters who looking from the outside see flaws with Floyd but once in the ring with him they soon realise his a master.
atsch :happy I agree I mean you think about it when Khan goes up against your likes on McKloskey Salita being thrown around like a rag doll at times by Maidana. You can see exactly why Floyd would be afraid. Duke McKenzie was great on saturday every bull**** line Khan cam out with he corrected him. My personal favourites were. "We'll let Floyd walk onto shots" "Amir who ahs the better chance of beating Floyd you or Pacquiao" "Erm I have to say we both have his number" Behave yourself.
Well this new Floyd was walking Ortiz down, so how does Khan deal with that? Move sideways left and right and keep changing his angles and pepper his long jab, Khan's jab will give Floyd problems.
The one reason I think Amir wouldn't have a chance in the ring is because he has no boxing IQ. He follows the gameplan to the letter, and Floyd is adaptive and able to change his tactics on the fly. Khan won't be able to deal, nor will Roach be able to setup a successful gameplan. This fight isn't Mayweather vs. Khan, it's Mayweather vs. Roach, and he's already beaten him.
why not talk up your athleticism or your speed? something that floyd might not still have in abundance by the time khan fights him? if khan really thinks he can outsmart floyd it will be the shortest fight of khan's career (and that includes prescott)
As I said before khan can't fight moving backwards. Mayweather wouldn't find it difficult to walk him down. Those fast flashy combinations look good but he ain't catching floyd with that ****. Maidana got to khan and it wouldn't take floyd that long.
Floyd don't walk you down like a mummy/real pressure fighter, he gives you time to adjust. Anyway I don't think he will walk Khan down all the time, I think Khan will back him up.
Khan came across really well on Primetime PPV. He's maturing physically and mentally, he's as ready as he will ever be for Floyd NOW and imo he has the best style to maybe take Floyd 147 and below (including Pacman in that)
What performance was it again :huh Makes you think Khan can ake the greatest of our era another weight up :nut Is there any sense to this arguement at all? I thought people would turn down the hype after the Hatton fight. Khan wouldnt beat Floyd if he(Floyd) was 45 right now
he's the only guy in the 147 bracket who would have a chance other than manny. khan may not be perfect but he has the tools to make it difficult for floyd. the jab is the key. khan has a great jab. floyd would still win but it wouldn't be easy for him.
you're overrating it quite a lot. It's obviously very quick but he reaches in with it a lot, honestly I didn't think it was too impressive vs Judah. If he was to lead off with the jab in the same way vs Mayweather, I'd expect it to play completely into Floyd's hands and see him eating a lot of counter punches.
