Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

I can't wait for Floyd to fight Khan and school him, so the Khan fanboys will shut up, and realize their hero's not that good.

 

im not gonna be a nuthugger and say no one can beat floyd im a big fan of his ability but judging from the maidana fights he has lost a slight edge but saying that I really do think its foolish to think khan will be the one to do it..

khan has speed so what? garcia doesnt and he timed him with a ****** left hook! khan cannot fight off the back foot so he will be tailor made coming forward all the time for mayweather he has average defence at best against floyds highly accurate shots and to top it off he loses his head he wont be able to stay composed in there with floyd he has been begging for the fight for years building up all this pressure on himself saying he will be the one to do it

I dont think there is a fighter at 147 proven enough to beat floyd apart from MAYBE pac since he has been in huge fights before he has he experience and the workrate but is also flawed but hes the best shot right now

 

god damn and to add he went life and death with a blown up lightweight not 2 fights ago and now he is the one to beat floyd!? people are really reaching with this one

 

I thought they would have realized it by now, but I guess not....I've never seen any fighter get more overrated just because they are fast, than Khan gets overrated.

He proves time and time again how unimpressive his actual technical skills are (for a world-class fighter) and how glaring his flaws are, and people still believe he is some sort of master boxer.

Danny Garcia, as always, waits for that opening to land his left hook, and he does in the 3rd. Against a guy with numerous defensive deficiencies.

Then Khan's groupies claim it was Hail Mary shot, because Khan was up by a whopping margin of 2-0.

 

They don't realize that you need more than speed to beat Floyd, and speed is all Khan has.

 

khan, has advantages in height & reach? rubbish, where are his mental skills? How many life and death battles with vastly inferior guys than floyd again?

 

Are you seriously comparing the two guys skills? khan, has no inside game along with poor fundametals!!

 

People forget that Floyd can be the aggressor when he wants to. Look at the Mosley fight.

 

a NIGHTMARE? a NIGHTMARE?

that's a big big stretch. floyd is undefeated. I dont put much stock in that but what I do take from it is the fact that he's very adept at figuring out styles, and in nearly fifty fights, not every last opponent has been the stylistic equivalent of a robert guerrero or a marcos maidana. also, I just cant see khan's style being a nightmare for floyd when so many fighters have conqured it.

 

Khan's chin is too weak. Even Floyd's featherdusting would be enough.

 

I don't know since i'm sort of new. He's coming off a dominant win over luis collazo, a former world champion and ranked in the top 10. I think it's a very good start for khan, but needs to beat another top 10 ranked opponent in order to earn the fight in a public eye view. Think people would still buy the fight cause of khans last performance against collazo. Khans currently ranked #1 wba, #3 wbc, #6 WbO, and ranked 6th in the welterweight division.

 

No... he doesn't just have speed. His got amazing boxing skills, footwork, Ring Iq, and decent power. His also got a good height and reach.

 

lol Are we talking about the same Amir Khan?

 

Maidana gave Floyd hell in the first fight, it's a bit harsh to label him a plodder.
