Would Amir Khan have been Floyd Mayweather’s toughest fight?

Danny's left hook may be harder than any of Floyd's single-shot counters, but they would nonetheless accumulate. Khan's fatal habit was staying in exchanges too long and keeping his head in the middle. Canelo had a serious weight advantage, but the opening for the KO came from a feint that lowered both of Khan's hands. Those types of mistakes became ingrained, they were not one-offs. Khan's boxing brain was never all that.

Maidana had the flu before fighting Alexander and Robert Garcia added a lot to his game afterwards. Bad comparison.

 

Even a past prime Pac is faster and more explosive than khan so i don't get your logic there.

 

Floyd knew when to get into a shootout, when to use his legs and potshot, when to apply pressure, and always integrated his defense and offense well - khan is nowhere near that level. I can see khan giving mayweather some trouble early, similar to judah, but he would look lost and completely outclassed in the later rounds. He could possibly end up on bambi legs ans get stopped

 

I appreciate the effort but I'm sorry i couldnt get through the 1st paragraph when you said pbf would have a hard time countering khan. Garcia countered him canelo countered him. Neither fighter are as good at countering as pbf. Pbf has countered every fighter he's fought khan wouldn't be the exception.

He has attributes that look good on paper but when you look deeper he's very flawed. He's front runner. He pushes his punches. Cant fight on the inside. Has horrible footwork. Low ring iq. Chinny. Fights the same way for the full 12 rounds. Throws all his punches at the same speed. Folds under pressure.

Pac is a faster combo puncher than khan more explosive and can throw a single shot faster. Those shoe sine flurries that khan throws dont impress me, they usually dont have much power behind them. Pac is faster than khan and provided a much harder stylistic threat to pbf than khan does.

 

He would have been IMO, people will dismiss it cos Khan but follow the logic and everything you said is true. There’s a reason why Khan looked sensational against the likes of Malignagi and Judah, because those guys are counter punchers who couldn’t trouble him with their power.

 

Khan has way faster hands than Pac, specially 2015 Pac. Khan is also taller with longer reach, which IMO is the deciding factor.

Floyd would need to have to power to basically hurt Khan, if he does, it’s all Floyd by stoppage, if not, Khan makes it an extremely tough night for him.

Look what Fury did to Wlad. That’s what styles can do. Is Fury really that much better a fighter than Wlad?

Also another very important note, even Pac camp says Khan would outpoint Pac easily, but as soon as Pac lands it will just take 1 shot. I believe Ariza said that from their sparring.

So Khan def has the boxing skills/points chops. Just a chubby 1-dimensional Guy.

 

Khan outpointing Pac easily? Pac would outbox and stop Khan. Khan plays into Pac's hands stylistically.



Ariza just hyping Khan and fluffing his ego.

 

Why'd Floyd duck him? Gotta wonder. And before you floyjoys get pissy..Floyd had the poll remember...will fight the winner.

 

Definitely not.... Khan is one of the worst boxers for staying in exchanges too long and fighting in the same rhythm constantly.... Floyd would absolutely out time this dude... If I were to bet on it my money would be that Floyd stops him.

 

You can't see him making that mistake again??? What has shown you that khan is some high iq fighter who makes few mistakes? There's nothing in his career to suggest this? What you fail to realize is that khan is a flawed fighter good enough to beat average to good fighters occasionally but not good enough to beat great or elite fighters he's shown you his level and there's a reason for this but you want to overlook it.

Most boxers are single counter punchers what are you talking about? Pbf punches hard enough to get your respect and hits guys with punches you dont see that's more than enough to hurt or drop chinny khan who after he gets hurt or droppped in a fight falls apart.
