Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

How do you exactly see a 38 year old Floyd with slower footwork than Khan pressing Khan who is a master at controlling range? If floyd tried to walk khan down like he did vs Judah he would take punches on his way in to only find that khan has now moved even further away. Judah is nowhere near as good as Khan the comparison is bad. The only comparison you could make was the handspeed, Judah won the first 4 with his superior hand speed alone, and we know khan is much faster than judah.

 

awnser the question does he have better chins then those guys?

yea he did and was the only guy to beat him in 14 years

 

khan could outpoint Floyd using his speed

 

lol at you telling someone to answer the question. This place cracks me up. I see you have forgotten about Bradley's win over Pac.

 

43% PCT vs Alexander, 50% PCT in power punches. 50% PCT vs COllazo. Is that not accurate enough combos for you? If a slow flat footed plodder in Marcos maidana can tag floyd more than usual, Khan would have a field day.

 

He will take more damage against Manny and knows Manny can end the fight with 1 punch .

Floyd doesn't hit hard , Therefore Khan will feel safe to go after him and Floyd cant match his workrate .

Both Manny and Khan would be looking to outwork Floyd .

 

madaina's onslaught is way more unpredictable than Khan's even though he is a plodder. If you are in range he will hit you with unorthodox angles. Alexander and Collazo are kind of poor and throw loopy shots so Khan's land right up the middle. Khan isn't always accurate. Alexander is just really over-rated because of a few overachievements.

 

Khan isn't a master at range. Guys in close really trouble him (Peterson in the clinches, Madaina at the end of the fight) and he runs into big shots. You never see pre-49 year old Hopkins, a true master of range, get hurt or rattled as Khan or another speedster, Linares, seem to, because their rapid footwork isn't actually always well considered.

 

Floyd is better at fighting up close than Khan. What happens when Floyd presses the action? Remember that the inside is still Khan's weakness.

 

Although I believe that Floyd can stop Khan from pointing as much by timing him, I won't be surprised if Khan outpoints Floyd..

But he can't risk that with Pac. Khan knows what Pac is capable off, well at least he has an idea with the experience of sparring with him.

 

Khan rides the bike and tries to outpoint/outwork Floyd, Floyd would probably time him every now and then, Who scores more? i don't know.

 

It would probably be Floyd's toughest fight other than Thurman.
I think Pacquiao at this age is very beatable and was always there to hit.

I think Khan would lose too because he's also easy to hit but he's difficult to beat if you don't want to brawl. I think Bradley would have an easy time beating Khan at lower weights but as the weight is higher it is tougher to beat him because of his body type. I would say for Floyd it's a similar situation where Khan because he can put on weight and is quick with technical skills is hard to out point.

But I do think Floyd would out point him if he adapts his style. One thing about Floyd is he can adapt his style in an instant. We've seen him do it before against Judah. We've seen him do it against Hatton. We've seen him do it against Cotto.

He out brawled Cotto. If he fights in the same style he used against Cotto and simply walk Khan down he will win. Khan can be hit and in his losses he doesn't handle pressure fighters very well. Floyd is not a pressure fighter or KO artist but he can fight in the pocket, inside, and would beat Khan to the punch on the outside.

 

Why are you comparing the Freddie Roach khan who was weight drained to the Hunter trained Khan who is comfortable and strong at 147. Has he not displayed masterful control of range vs Collazo and ALexander? Paulie was literally sucking off khan in commentary over it, do you know more than him about boxing?

 

Floyd would struggle for a round or two but then dial in and start tagging on Khan. Khan doesn't have good head movement. He doesn't slip punches does he? He doesn't have good coordination with his feet or balance does he? He lunges in and flurries but is open to counters.

Floyd would bait him in and counter him or tear him apart in the inside. I think Khan would have a chance at winning but would have to fight a very disciplined fight, use his read, and spoil. I don't think he could win trying to out box Floyd because Floyd has too much accuracy, just as much speed, more power, better footwork, better inside fighting, can adapt his style on a round by round basis too.

Khan can only fight the same style he always fights.
