    I thought most of you folks would be happy?

    Amir Khan has been built up as the boogeyman over the last 9 months by an overwhelmingly-too-many of you...

    yeah i agree with some of this he did definetly look a bit different.

    I felt that as you said he was more composed and didnt try and over do combinations, was more wary of what came back.

    I also think that his power improved , that he thinks about accuracy and power when throwing with intentions to hurt rather than land and move,

    his movement was different and he was more often in a position to throw rather than being in all out attack and then all out defence(running).

    he ducked under and got low especially at the ropes instead of just covering up and trying to run

    even though this sounds great im still not sure if it suits him, his balance isnt elite like a lot of other top fighters and fighting like this might not suit him. his high movemt style before kind of ovewhlemded people for most rounds because he moves so much and so fast. His mobility was something i would have liked to see against mayweather after winning an exvhange he could bounce around the ring, now it doesnt seem like hes as good at that.

    a lot has impoved but i still wasnt that happy, his clinching was kind of stupid too, but the change was so big from diaz that he could take another leap again next

    First it's "Floyd ducks fighters with speed", now that Khan is materializing it's "Khan's a cherry pick". He can't win with his haters, no point in trying.

    I wonder if Floyd is thinking this will be a good enough fight to keep his Cinco de Mayo date.

    Floyd doesn't want to miss out on that King Khan pay day and is scared Special K will get in there before him. Said it a while back but I'm pretty sure Mayweather/Khan will happen in May 2015.

    It's not about the improvements it's about the opponent. Floyd is a feather fisted.

    This fight is going to happen for the same reason the unneeded Maidana rematch happened.

    Because most of YOU fools have been clamoring for it and making thread after thread, post after post, about it. YOU are the ones who will make it happen. YOU are the ones who made the demand.

    When it gets signed, like every Floyd fight before it, it is a horrible travesty in the eyes of those same hypocrites.

    the improvement khan showed against collazo? choosing to fight a southpaw who throws the left from a distance he can see it, therefore protecting his glass chin. put him back in with an orthodox fighter with a hook and he'll be back on his ass.

    we have power. make no mistake about it. it's very easy for that fight to get shut down with the quickness when fans unite.

    it's happened before. anyone remember floyd/dlh 2???

    it never happened. it was talked about immediately by floyd after the fight. oscar even talked about making the rematch....then the fans spoke in unison...."hell muhfcuking NO!!!!"
