Jim Lampley: Khan Has a Better chance of Beating Mayweather than Pacquiao does!

I agree that stylistically (in particular size and jab) Khan is a better match up but I think Floyd is still far too skilled for him.

 

laz just came

 

Possibly.

Seeing Khan train, if there's on thing he is, it's ****in' fast. Like...real fast.

 

the thing with Khan is that he is at his athletic peak. i actually think from videos i;ve see, he trains harder than pac does. and is more athletically gifted. But in terms of boxing ability he still has a LOT to learn. especially where the fundamentals are concerned.

He is definitely an elite level fighter right now. but he can be so much better. a lot of areas he can improve tremendously. if he is matched properly and maintains a good attitude and most importantly doesnt allow his idiotic team to interfere too much, he is a future p4p top 5 guy

 

I don't pay too much attention to speed during training. FFS, Pac looked like the Flash during training, but didn't look extraordinarily fast against a moving target vs JMM.

Khan is fast, but he wasn't fast enough to not get ktfo by Prescott or pummeled around by Maidana.

 

I agree somewhat, but Floyd has slowed down significantly and Khan is only looking faster and sharper with each fight.

I think if Floyd just sits back and plays counter-puncher against Khan, he still wins but has a significantly tougher time than he would walking him down behind a high guard. Khan excels against fighters that give him room to breath and let him get off first.

Pac would be far easier to counter against than Khan imo, due to his size and reach disadvantages, combined with the fact that Khan is better on the outside than Pac thanks to his superior physical dimensions.

Marquez was having a field day timing Pacs contained bursts of aggression and I have no doubt Floyd would have an even easier time landing that right hand counter of his, and I think Khan beats Marquez easier than people think (maybe that's just me though).

 

I'd like to see how he does against peterson, personally i feel khan makes too many mistakes, maybe he needs to switch gyms, roach isn't all that he cracked up to be

 

True but Mayweather isn't quite the powerpuncher either of those two are.

Not saying Khan will win, just sayin'.

 

If Mayweather does fight Khan next year, I still think he walks him down and stops him late, instead of opting to sit back and box with him. To beat Khan you have to smother him and get off your shots, not giving him any room to breath. Khan is a very very difficult guy to outbox and counter against.

 

same was said about Judah.

I trully believe Khan is and will be the man to beat Floyd, just not yet, maybe after 2 more fights.

 

Void will duck khan. Void doesnt have the power to ko khan

 

I actually agree.

I cant remember Floyd fighting someone like Khan

Tall,rangy but very fast.

Its definately something that might cause a challenge

 

Which fighter has floyd beaten who has a superior jab and reach and height list must be pretty thin huh but khan still makes too many mistakes and would get countered by mayweather all night I'd expect mayweather to tko khan late on.

 

a true boxer will expose freddy cok roaches in and out volume punchers like pac, khan, and linares they all fight the SAME! i wouldnt be surprised if peterson pulls off the upset. soon as pac and khan throw those wild ass combinations theres gonna be a right hand to stop them in their tracks all night and khans chin dont make it any better for him lol
