Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

Again, anytime someone gets a decent win, all of a sudden mayweather is ducking them or they become mayweather's gardest opponent. Im so tired of the bull**** by the casual fan who doesn't know the business and politics of boxing. It will not matter who Mayweather fights, he will win against Khan and Pac and then it will still not be good enough. People will just find another boxer to say Mayweather has ducked.

 

oh ya Khan all of a sudden is a beast but a few months ago, people were crying if mayweather were to fight Khan.

 

Any decent orthodox fighter beat him, even c class prescott sparked him.

 

:yep

 

Fanboyism aside, Khan is tougher for Floyd than he is for Pacquiao. Despite Pacquiao's size disadvantage, he's fast and has more pop than Floyd so he has a better chance to hurt Khan or at least make him gun shy. Toe to toe isn't in Floyd's nature and Khan has quicker hands/combos. I'd favor Floyd to win all the way but I think Khan would steal some rounds with activity alone.

 

1. Their losses mean jack.
2. Floyd's resume is not better.
3. Styles.

 

A successful run getting shut out by Alexander and going life and death with Josesito Lopez. All Maidana did was beat Broner in a close fight, a guy whose only previous win at the weight was a split decision over Malignaggi.

 

I've been saying it for a while now as have many others.

Seems like noone cares to refute my fight breakdown either :think

 

Garcia isn't a puncher and knocked him out. Maidana the crude brawler version had him hurt the whole fight and literally running but you told me Khan 'schooled' him? Seriously?

Why has Khan been matched with feather fisted handpicked opponents since the Garcia KO? Additionally why has Khan never avenged his losses?

Khan thinks he is entitled to things and can trick the Boxing public fighting a bunch of handpicked fights against non punchers. Sorry those of us that have been actually watching Boxing for nearly 30 years have seen this story before.

 

Resume wise and accomplishment wise, Khan is about on par with what Guerrero, Maidana, and Ortiz were at the time they fought Floyd. As for stylistically matching against Floyd, he's better than those listed. Khan is not and should not be ranked higher than them. Except for Ortiz.

 

Maidana was on a win streak at welterweight, 3 KOs at that. Khan was coming off of a KO and two tune ups, one of which he almost lost. He should've fought Alexander last December and put up this same performance, then we'd be having a different discussion.

At the time the Maidana fight was announced, Maidana was more deserving.

 

All that sounds good to somebody that don't know but make you should check the fighters dimensions before you make those assessments. Floyd 5'8" reach72" Khan 5'9" reach 71". No advantage for either fighter. Khan can deliver speed but the question is can he handle precision speed and timing. Mayweather 's ring IQ is levels above Khan's and contrary to popular belief, Mayweather can hurt or knock Khan out out. Khan is just starting to understand his skills but Mayweather is a master of his.

 

Some people are saying that his new trainer Virgil Hunter improved Khan's defense but look again at his recent fight against Devon Alexander and you'll see how many times Khan gets hit. The problem is Alexander has pillow-punches. Now, expect to see Khan being matched against pillowfisted fighters. Bradley, now that he's declining, may be Khan's next opponent.
