Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

i think garcia's run places him at the top of the list. maybe they hold off on that one....i'd be more excited to see floyd fight timmy than both pac and khan.

 

Yeah sorry, dude corrected me on that. I forgot it was Bradley.

I said it in another thread in more detail, but Khan has speed. I edged a few rounds to Alvarez because Mayweather chilled a little too much, and didn't always engage. Made Alvarez almost look like his punches were landing. If Khan can protect his chin from that odds on counter KO from May, I see a possibility for him to win. A TINY possibility, but you don't always get to see a route for success for guys Vs May. Khan has more chance than Cotto, Hatton, Mosley, Guererro and Ortiz imo, but he even has the smallest percentage of hope.

 

first of all....u don't duck khan to fight a much tougher/bigger pay day in pac. khan calling out timmy was bull****. it was widely known that timmy was waiting out his contract with shaw and the khan fight would have extended it. timmy made the right move.

 

What interests me is competition. Guerrero, Khan, Ortiz are no competition for Floyd. Hell I even knew Nelo would stand no chance after watching his close win over Trout.

Floyd should just face Pac and get his final job in this business over and done with. Sure the guy who rises to the top of a bunch of guys who suck ass (Berto Guerrero Ortiz etc) may deserve the fight... but it still doesn't make it a worthy fight. Timmeh, Alexander, Khan are the supposid 'boxer boxers' in this picture at least they bring something different. Make them face one another then the winner gets Floyd (well really Bradley Khan should have happened in 2011 which would have changed the whole picture around LOL!)

 

umm...i don't see it that way. i thought guerro and ortiz both did better than canelo. cotto did the best of the bunch u named.

i can't see khan finishing on his feet. he still hasn't corrected his problems and floyds favorite punch is the one khan can't seem to defend against. i can only see this ending in a highlight ko reel for floyd.

 

But he DID duck Khan.

I believe this is the exact quote:-

"What if I lose then I am out the sweepstake to fight pound-for-pound-king Manny Pacquiao for 7.5 million dollars?""

He didn't mind losing to Pacquiao. Losing to the #2 P4P fighter isn't that bitter of a pill to swallow. But refusing to face a dude who very well could beat you, IS ducking.

Bradley might beat Khan, both are great boxers. All I know is that Bradley was unhappy with the prospect of fighting a dude who was "too risky" like Amir Khan, so he avoided taking it. It's the same reason Tyson Fury wouldn't take on Mike Perez right now. If the promoters told Fury to do it, and he refused, that would be ducking too.

 

my whole thing with the pac fight is that i never believed he had a chance to beat floyd and all my interest to see that match up was killed after the 3rd jmm fight.

i believe guys like garcia, bradley and thurman pose better challenges than pac and khan.

 

Guererro did barley anything imo. Canelo managed to at least try some offence, although Mayweather's defence was at it's very highest.

Ortiz actually didn't look terrible in the early moments. But he'd have sacrificed his jabs and went for more hooks eventually.

Mayweather let Cotto work on him. May lay on the ropes, trying to take every punch on the arms, which he pretty much did. He wanted people to list him as an entertaining fighter, which worked as we all enjoyed that fight.

I agree though, you ask me to put down money, I'm on a Mayweather KO. I do though see a route that Khan might....MIGHT.....be able to take it on paper, so that's interesting to me. May is just that damn good, that having a route against him is always going to be an interesting affair.

 

Bradley is the common denominator in this huge clusterfck picture

I hate the big headed midget...but he should get in there with Floyd if it's not Pac.


It's like a big boxing Karma circle...Khan & Bradley should have happened in 2011 before Khan's downfall but at the end of the day Khan still got Mayweather... LOL..but Bradley got the position of P4P respect.

 

i don't recall ever hearing or reading that quote from timmy. is that something he said afterward?

even if he did say it....can u really call it a duck when he was trying to get out of his contract with shaw so that he could face a much more dangerous and better fighter in pacquiao?

i thought bradley would beat him then....i know bradley beats him now.

 

I think I'm the only one not really interested in Pac/Bradley. I want to see Pac in fun fights. Bradley will just result in a similar fight to the last one, perhaps slightly more in Pac's favour.

Although to be fair, Bradley is undefeated with a W over Pac.

One thing I'm wondering in all this. How come Pacquiao, or Mayweather, can't be made mandatory for each other's titles? Can't someone take charge? "You either fight this guy, or we strip your title. We do the testing we want, we will tell you guys how much you earn. Now that we run the show, if you back out you duck".

It's the lack of an "owner" that has swayed me to MMA over boxing in recent years tbh.

 

never believed that for a second. i knew the fight would play out that way because cotto is very capable of applying intelligent pressure. that's something mosley, hatton, guerro, ortiz and canelo couldn't do. if they fought again...i'm convinced it would play out in similar fashion. it's a style thing with them two.

if i had to put a percentage on khans' chances....i'd give it .0025%

 

I didn't at first, but I've watched it back more open mindedly and I think May was giving him some of the shots deliberately. Man, I sound more like a delusional Mayweather fan by the minute, I need a Manny avatar...QUICK! FUK FLOYD! Sorry..."void"...yuck.

And yeah, but that's better than the .0002% I gave those other guys

 

You are right my friend. Khan is next. Khan looks so outta place on that ****in ,kiddy show... Khan gonna get that work.

 

@ big headed midget.

i'd put bradley at the number 2 spot to face floyd...definitely. he poses problems that would give mayweather a harder time than all the guys on that list.
