Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

great analysis:roll:

 

Most Khan fans are delusional as he is.

you can tell when some of these guys are pure casual fans and have never boxed or had a fight in their lives

put it this way, me and my younger brother, both former amateur boxers, both pick Floyd to take Khan to school.

My youngest brother, none boxer, picks Khan because styles make fights, khan is faster than Floyd and Floyd has never fought anyone as fast as Khan

go figure

 

Problem is Floyd does face many fast fighters, and mostly does not feel comfortable giving away his hand speed advantage as he likes this advantage to look good and counter fighters.

Vs Zab Judah Floyd found it very hard to counter his speed and workrate for at least 4 rounds, vs ODH Floyd found his jab a probelm.

Make no mistake if Khan fights Mayweather he will attempt to outbox him from range, you unlike other fighters who from the get go know they have no chance of outboxing Floyd so they always look to KO him which plays into Floyds hands.

Khan on the other hand knows if he sticks to his boxing and not over press or commit he has a real chance of outscoring Floyd over 12 rounds..

Khan's boxing skills are underrated here, believe me when he picks to box can he be very hard to out point even for the great but aging Mayweather..

 

It's a myth that Khan is some master boxer. He would have no chance of outboxing Floyd.

 

Judahs chin for a start, was better than Khans.

Khan has one of, if not the worst chin in boxing.

in years to come, do you think people will remember Khan for his world titles or his chin?

all i keep hearing is speed, wasn't Garcia slower than Khan? What happened there?

Khan has **** workrate, essentially he is a poor mans Zab Judah, he starts off fast but that soon drops.

Power? What power? Name me 5 world class fighters Khan actually stopped?

i know your going to harper on about Khans KD of Maidana, that really is Khans claim to fame isn't it?

please explain to me how Floyd is going struggle with a guy who Floyd is better than in every dept?

as for picking Khan or Maidana, let me simplofy it for you.

Khan has not fought anyone relevant since he was sparked by Garcia

Maidana was coming off a good run and his career best win over an undefeated multi weight champ.

Khan simply didn't desrve the fight.

in fact Maidana is Khans best win....and that was nearly 5 years ago

 

Floyd is a master at adapting. Once Floyd adapts to Khan, it's over.

 

Malignaggi and Judah lost their biggest fights. You really think that Floyd wouldn't have beaten Malignaggi just as badly, maybe even more impressively, than Khan did?

What do the amateurs have to do with this? I don't know if you know this, but the amateurs are VERY different from the pros. Amateur matches have no bearing on what happens in the pros.

Tell me, what are Kotelnik's best wins?

 

He's matured into a very technical fighter at WW? Based on what? Struggling against shot Julio Diaz? Beating old, recovering alcoholic Collazo?

It is way too early to say how good Khan is at the weight. We'll see how good he really is in December, when he fights Alexander.

 

i pretty much said the same thing on an earlier thread. Theres levels to this.

Khan is good, Floyd is great.

 

The other day, a Khantard called Miguel Vazquez a bum. This is after I said that Bradley has a better resume than Khan.

 

Maidana lost all his biggest fights too.

And we'll never know, because Kindelan never went pro. (Hey, that rhymes).
