Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

it was the "we're Super Stars of boxing" that got me.

maybe Khan has a serious head injury that we don't know about?

sure sounds like it.

 

LOL @ people thinking Khan won't beat Alexander. Alexander is the perfect guy for Khan, no power at all...

And sure he is talking out of his ass when he calls himself the superstar of boxing, but he is trying to get the fight. His speed does actually match up to Floyd's though. Just the rest of his skillset is far behind...

 

what happened in Birmingham?

 

Floyd would lose to Khan, Khans style is all wrong for him. Floyd has people fooled. Styles make fights, and Floyd only fights people with styles that gives him all the advantages. That's why he looks so fast! He only fights flat footed fighters. This is the reason he had major problems with Cotto. Cotto' is a complete fighter with quick feet, and quick hands. He is severelyunderrated in those attributes. Basically, Floyd didn't have the advantages in that fight. He bought in to that Cotto being washed up sh!t, and almost took an L.

The same way people bought into that whole catch weight story with Canelo. What these casuals should have known was, Canelo isn't a pressure fighter, or brawler. So the weight didn't mean sh!t. It was funny seeing people getting mad at Canelo for not pressing the fight. Canelo has never pressured anyone in the ring. The media built him up like he Magarito, and he's not that guy. He's a flat footed boxer, and Floyd knew this. In reality, anybody who watches boxing knew Canelo didn't even have a punchers chance. Floyd would never fight a dude that big if he was a pressure fighter. Like he said, he's "robbing the bank". But to my point. Khan is a better fighter than people give him credit for. Combine that with his foot speed, and hand speed. He would swarm Floyd with activity. Floyd isn't knocking anyone out with one punch, not even Khan. Khan wouldn't land punch, but neither did Dela Hoya and they gave him 5 rounds for his activity! Not to mention Floyd would have to press the fight with a faster man. Which would pretty much eliminate the shoulder roll. That's only gonna leave holes in his defense, cause he doesn't have the style to cut the ring off on Khan. He does that with flat footed dudes, but Khan can run with the best. Khans style is all wrong for Floyd, and if he fights him he will lose.

So hop off Floyd N.U.T.s. he's not the GOAT. He just knows how to "pick'em" And making promotional stunt moves like this

Khan could beat floyd

 

While some of your points are valid, Khan doesn't have what it takes, right style or not, to beat Floyd. His speed means nothing when he doesn't know how to properly maintain his range, gets sloppy on offense in general, has little defense once you get past his speed, and has a weak chin when you tag him. Floyd isn't a big puncher by any stretch but his power is enough for Khan and Khan certainly isn't good enough to keep from getting tagged even with Hunter, the Diaz fight clearly showed that. That fight would be the rare case where Khan gets so hurt that Floyd actually pursues a knockout instead of doing his usual points win and blaming being unable to get the KO on an injury.

 

ya i "could" beat floyd too

 

Any excellent volume puncher has a chance

Not saying they would win, but floyd does himself no favours by his defense first approach

 

Doing what? running backwards.

 

Khan i always thought would make a decent fight. People forget that he has fast hands and good combos, also add height to him and hes a good fighter. I think it would be alot more entertaining then the Canelo fight. After a few rounds though Mayweather would hit him with pin point shots that would KO Khan in the late rounds

 

He can beat to the bank to cash his victim's check.:yep

 

Ok, lets just assume for one second that Khan actually might be able to beat Floyd... so what??? He sure as **** isn't first in line for a shot, he's actually kinda irrelevant, he's ranked at #18 at welterweigth by Boxrec. Lets just assume for a second that it's an unfair ranking and that he should be at 15 instead, then we'd also have to assume that atleast 4 junior welterweights and 4 junior middleweights would be more deserving of the fight so there we have it Khan would then be 23RD in line.

Care to make 22 more topics?

 

Your post is irrelevant. It doesn't matter who deserves what. Khan is who, GBP, and The Mayweathers want to fight. Their gonna let Danny Garcia, and Adrien Broner build them self up. I promise you Floyd will fight both of them before he retires. He has to. Who else?

 

i kind of thought the same about khans speed before. but then i thought..although he wasnt firing much back, wasnt mccloskey makin khan miss LOADS. so if mccloskey can do this.... do i need to say more...
