Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

I think Mayweather will win but if you look at any of Khans fights, he dominates every opponent and wins every round unless he gets clipped and knocked the **** out. Mayweather is not a big puncher, he can still hurt Khan imo but Khans been in there and taken shots from Maidana so he's not as glass as people say. Let's be honest that Garcia hook would knock 99% of 140lbs's out.

My prediction, first couple of rounds competitive and in the later rounds mayweather will start to land those straight rights and left hooks. If Khan does what he does best and throws 4-5 punch combos and uses his amazing footwork it will be a better fight than the last opponents Floyd's faced. What do you guys think?

 

Gomez, McCloskey and Peterson to name a few are not what you would call dominating performances. It's a myth that Khan cannot be outboxed, especially now that he seems to be past prime, has slowed and is so easy to figure
out.

 

No not even close. Khan for all his flaws is world class and Mayweather is past his prime. Tyson was regarded as prime at the time he fought Douglas.

Wlad losing to a journeymen in Leapai would be a better contender for biggest upset ever. Leapai is even worse than Douglas and Wlad for all the criticism of late is still regarded as unbeatable at the moment like Tyson was.

 

i aint staying up late to watch this comedy act

 

I wouldn't consider Douglas a bum to be honest, especially not after what he showed he could do against Tyson. I would say he's a gatekeeper at best and a journeyman at worst.

 

:huh What?

 

Former champion beating current champion can not be the biggest upset of all time. Fact.

 

:rofl

Khan barely has a snowball's chance in hell. He lacks the skills, brains, defense, instincts, accuracy, etc...for Mayweather.

Perhaps no one has ever gotten more overrated for having speed than Khan.

All this "Khan is a tough matchup for Floyd" talk is laughable

 

I agree, I wasn't making a direct comparison but just saying Khan would have to be a bum in order for beating Mayweather to be classed as the biggest upset in boxing history.

 

Feather fisted Willie Limond put Khan down. Mayweather's accuracy would ensure that Khan would stay down should this god awful mismatch ever happen.

 

He stopped gomez and beat him every round, he beat McCloskey with ease without losing a round. Peterson was roided out of his brain, that should be a no contest. It is fair to say Khan has only lost by Knockout, when was the last time mayweather knocked somebody out (Ortiz doesn't count that was not fair).

 

Not an upset at all, Khan beat Malinaggi & Maidana

 

Never a bigger upset than Ali beating Foreman. Everyone thought Ali would be knocked out within few rounds.

 

He definitely has a chance. Floyd has slowed some, and I think Khan is gonna expose that a little bit. He's gonna make Floyd work. I still think Floyd's gonna win, but I doubt it'll be a blowout. Maybe 116-112 for Floyd.

 

Sorry did you just call Cotto a Bum and Khan has a better chance. Ye right Cotto did well against Floyd very well in fact Khan won't do half as good. Why are people still rating Khan is beyond me people make it sound like his chin is the only thing that beats him. Peterson didn't KO him but still won hardly a dominant display by Khan, Limond, Mccloskey ect Khan isn't even the best boxer floyd has fought he hasn't the size of a Canelo nor the power of Cotto Khan is a ****ing B level fighter at best you can't possibly give him a chance Khan fans are ******s if they think Amir Con can win.
