Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

Keith Thurman is relatively new, hes an up and comer.

Khan, has been around for longer and for a guy constantly calling out Mayweather, you'd think he would have established himself by now.

But no, The last decent opponent he fought, sparked him out and since then hes been avoiding anyone with a heartbeat

Maidana at the time of facing Mayweather, was coming off his career best win over an undefeated champion.

Ortiz at the time of facing Mayweather, was coming off his career best win over an undefeated champion.

What has Khan done in the past 2 years? nothing except feed on C level fighters.
Maidana is seen as Khans best by most and that was nearly 5 years ago.

Mayweather doesnt need Khan, never has, never will. Its Khan who needs the fight.

 

Was a Marquez-Khan fight ever discussed or on the table?

I dont think it was.

Why would Marquez ducked a B level fighter like Khan, to face A level guys like Pacqiauo and Bradley?

 

the point of the conversation was that alexander will be a better opponent than anyone thurman has fought. and yeah khan has been around longer and has good wins on his resume unlike thurman and even though khan is just started at welterweight he has already increased his level of opposition quicker than thruman

 

Maybe because people are ducking Thurman?

The only guy who i know of, whose mentioned Thurman by name is Tim Bradley.

And like i said before, one is an up and comer and the other is an established fighter, they are at different points in their careers.

Thurman earnt his mandatory spot, Khan has had 1 fight at welterweight.

You dont just leapfrog to the front of the queue.

If you have a problem with that, take it to the sanctioning bodies who do the rankings.

 

Alexander was calling out thurman all the time, and thruman was quiet enough about it.
why would i take it to the sanctioning bodies if khan beats alexander he will be ahead of thurman and more likely to get a mayweather fight

 

Im speaking about prior to the Khan/Alexander fight.

Obviously if/when Khan beats Alexander then he should get the fight UNLESS a more suitable opponent arises.

 

I havent had a chance to smell them yet, ill ask him when he withdraws from your anus

 

agreed, you should have qouted that other guy

 

I didnt quote him because as i said in my previous post, all id come across is Bradley mentioning Thurman.

And thats probably because, well, Alexander doesnt really interest me. Boring guy, boring fighter. But good though.

 

I think floyd stops khan. I know floyd hasnt done that in a while but it doesnt take much to hurt khan and i think floyds timing will enable him to hurt and stop khan late. Im not a lhan fan as such bit his fights are fun, i think the alexander fight will be a stinker though constant holding and clinching with a few light punches thrown

 

I think the combination of Khan and Alexander is about as stinky as it gets.

Lets hope they have a trilogy of draws.

They do kind of cancel each other out.

Alexander is not really a monster puncher, but Khan has a dodgy chin.

I think Alexanders chin is decent, but Khan doesnt hit very hard.

Khan claims hes never been been outboxed but Alexander is a solid fighter who can handle himself.

Khan has heart and will dig deep, Alexander to me lacks in this dept, i saw him against Bradley and he seemed to be looking for a way out.

Alexander hates pressure fighters Bradley, Porter, but Khan doesnt fight like and i guess its true vice versa.

It could be an interesting boxing match actually, both will have the space to do what they want.

I think the winner, will be the one who takes the role of the aggressor. After all, if you've got two evenly matched guys, in a stinky fight, who will the judges pick? probably the aggressor

 

I think khan will be the aggressor and ahead midway through till he tires and alexander land some decent punches to hurt and stop khan on his feet. Khan lacks the power as much as devon does but devons chin is better. Close fight and no result will surprise me

 

I think Khan starts off the aggressor, with a point to prove in the first few rounds. Once his speed and power wane, Alexander takes over mid rounds. But because Alexander aint quite the puncher, Khan probably has a late fight revival and then they share/brawl for the last couple of rounds.

Going by Khans last performance against Collazo, i dont think he will take the role of the aggresor, if anything it might be Devon.

Devon got mixed up in a bit of a brawl against his last opponent and i think with Khans chin, he might come for the KO.

Plus factor in that Alexander is the 'home' fighter, fighting on American soil. I see a Devon victory.

Look at the last time a Khan fight when to the scorecards against an American fighter and Alexander did rob Kotelnik and someone else.

But, Khan brings the money and with a potential money making Mayweather fight looming, the judges MIGHT just give it to Khan instead?

 

For that last reason that's why I would favour Khan over Alexander on the cards if its close. Money talks and a lot of people will make cash out of Floyd V khan

I don think Khan will ever beat Floyd he might give him some tuff rounds but really Khan just doesn't have enough ring smarts. its all speed speed speed with little to no thought. if he flurries and falls off balance against Floyd hes going to get countered to sin.
