Yes Khan has decent speed, but pretty much little else. He throws pitty patty punches, can't fight inside, has a poor ring IQ and cannot stick to a game-plan. The bolded is the most important feature to have vs PBF and he is seriously lacking in both. Coupled with his atrocious Glass Jaw it would be an easy nights work for PBF... either a comfortable decision or a TKO.:deal
For a guy with only 'decent speed' as you put it he's done pretty well for himself... I don't think any fight going forward will be easy for Floyd...excluding maybe D.Garcia.
floyd's closest fights were against crude come forward pressure fighters. so khan would be easily outboxed
For Floyd, Khan is equally easy to the Guerrero fight in my opinion. Guerrero was slower, but Guerrero is also a lot smarter and has the superior chin.
Khans faster in both feet and hands, is stronger and carries more power than floyd, is taller, has never been outboxed, throws more than floyd with combinations, moves around using the ring better than any of floyds latest opponents, floyd doesnt have the power to hurt khan and he got caught by a flat footed slow ass fighter in maidana flush on the chin doing a little dance. Khans gonna tag him all night to a UD.
Agree. Khan is easy pick for Floyd. But Floyd lost all his power at these weights (147-154) and has only 2 KO wins in 12 fights (one of them was cheap-shot KO over glass-jawed quitter Ortiz). I pick Floyd by clear decision.
Glass Jaw Khan would be knocked out in 1-2 rounds by 1 counter right hand from Floyd Money Mayweather. Khan has no jaw, none!!!!!
And Khan fanatics... who seem to think Khan "can't be outboxed" despite scraping past clubber Maidana by a point (with a KD and point deduction) and losing UD to Peterson.
Khan clearly beat Maidana not "scraped past by 1 point" and he lost by SD to a PED'd up Peterson who then had his belt revoked...not by UD Your bias is showing...
It was a clear victory Khan had over Maidana... ...But it was a clear 1 point victory, as the other poster correctly said. I thought the scoring was clear and easy, too. If Joe Cortez didn't take away a point for Maidana's attempted elbowing of Cortez, then it would have been a draw on my card. Yes, Peterson fight was a controversial SD. I had Khan winning but with the way he fought and it being a close fight, cries of robbery are unwarranted. Factor in the PED's? Whole different conversation.
