Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

What skills does he have?

fast hands yes.

what else?

Can someone please pinpoint this for me?

Is it his accuracy?
his defense?
his power punching?

what?

If hes skilled, why does he continuously make the same, most basic, schoolboy error, dropping your hands after you punch?

 

The trouble is 95% of boxing fans are told what to think and then conform to this. Mayweather is very powerful and has an ability to duck fights and then convince people he did otherwise by claiming ''I'm too big to fight that person'' then he will fight guys like Maidana, Guerrero etc.

Money wise Mayweather can make so much money fighting anyone, his contract enables him not to worry about PPV regardless, legacy wise there are more holes than a cheddar cheese. The worst thing about modern boxing is the fans, it's the fans who allow the biggest matches to pass us by because they buy into this '' he must be a PPV star'' than '' he must offer a great fight''.
We all know Khan stylistically is bad for Mayweather and would give us a big fight, but most are sedated and instead want to support a spoiled dim man over the sport and fights.

 

Prescott>Khan

Who is Prescott?

 

How low can this guy go?

Its embarassing, Khan, go away.

Very soon, Mayweather vs Pacqiauo will be confirmed. So Khan wont have his retirement cheque.

His other, soft option was Guererro, unfortunately for Khan, he is now facing Thurman.

The public will not accept any other bums.

That means Khan has to face Porter, Maidana, Bradley or Brook.

Nowhere to run Khan.

 

Good combinations, good accuracy, good timing, good body punching, decent feinting, decent footwork, decent power.

Being skilled doesn't mean you are perfect or have no flaws or make no mistakes. You can have some offensive skills but also have some flaws or make some mistakes.

 

I disagree, his combinations are pretty much the same everytime.

1-2,
1-2-3-4,
and sometimes he adds a left hook at the end.

His accuracy isnt very good, he throws a flurry of punches but only 1-2 actually land on the right spot.

His stamina is ****, he runs out of gas after 4-5 rounds, see Collazo fight. Same with his speed, Khan looks amazing for 4 rounds, then he just runs.

His power is below average. He hit Collazo with everything with the kitchen sink and couldnt stop him. Yes he knocked him down, but Collazo got straight back up and carried on stalking on Khan, it was Khan who was running. Collazo fought the whole fight with his hands down on purposely to show Khans punches had very little steam.

Khans style is predictable, thats why a slow ass fighter like Garcia was able to time him.

He jumps in, throws a combo, jumps back out.

 

I find most boxers are the same. They throw the same punches or same combination of punches often. They have certain things that they like to do or that work for them.

I don't know about that. I think his accuracy stats are pretty good.

Maybe not great but not that bad imo. He would have lost more fights imo if that was the case. He throws a lot of fast punches and moves around a lot, that takes a lot of energy so his stamina can't be too bad.

He has dropped and stopped quite a few opponents. He seemed to be trying to just hit Collazo with point scoring shots and move plus Collazo isn't glass jawed. He can set his feet and hit harder than he did in that fight but that wasn't Hunter's plan.

Again I think most (not all) fighters are the same. They have a style which they use. Garcia has good timing plus even Floyd got caught by Maidana. Anybody can be timed, doesn't mean you are not skilled at all.

 

Very well said .

 

Khan got the Reach, Faster Jab, Faster hand speed, Fast foot work, Much higher workrate.. Same size..

And Khan is the only fighter in the world who can stand in the middle of the ring and out box, and beat Floyd to the Jab and punches due to his faster hand speed and straight punching style..

Khan would stay in the middle and out work Floyd, he won't have to run after him just stand in the middle and box..

Khan can beat Floyd.. That's why Floyd will never fight him..

 

#RealTalk

 

Please stop this rubbish. You just saw what Floyd did to Pacquiao who has fast hands and feet.

 

Khan's defense is much worse than Pacquiao's, he's not as skilled, and i doubt he can counter Floyd the way Manny did. I think Floyd wins.

 

Lol please same Khan that had trouble with a washed up Diaz?

 

Manny 5'6 is not Khan 5'9 loool.. Khan the same size as Floyd.. Size and reach matters vs Floyd..

 

Hello Amir :hi:
