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

So what you are saying is that Mayweather has 0 KO's at 147+ if you don't count his 4 KO's at 147+.

Good stuff there, keep up the good work.

 

would of been much much better than Berto and a very dangerous fight for Floyd at that point in his career. Floyd was first and foremost a great matchmaker and great promoter.

 

A murderers row?

 

Not in 2014.

 

Are you serious?

 

He would never have stopped Khan in 2014-2015.

 

No it doesn’t.

Troubling someone and defeating them are two completely different things.

 

He could have troubled him at the end of his career when he was winding down.

 

Yeah, Floyd had a huge reach advantage. And Manny was also faded with an injured shoulder.

Khan was a hugely flawed fighter, but he’d have let his hands go with confidence and given Floyd a harder fight.

 

The point is, Maidana was easy on paper.

Canelo is levels above Maidana but Maidana gave Floyd a much harder fight.

In 2014-2015, Floyd was winding down his career and he had hand issues.

He was happy to pot shot guys like Broner.

He didn’t want to fight a bigger guy with speed at that stage of his career.

 

So what?

It was Floyd’s idea.

 

Test questions:

1. Who set up the poll?

2. Who won it?

 

He would have been a threat in 2014-2015.

We know why Floyd retired against Andre Berto.

 

We’re not comparing them prime for prime.

We’re looking at how they matched up with Floyd.

We know that Manny was on another planet to Khan.

Against Floyd, Manny was faded with a shoulder injury which he had surgery on the following weak.

Floyd kept him at bay all night with his huge reach advantage.

Khan was bigger and faster than that version of Manny, and he’d have pressed Floyd a lot more and given him a much better and harder fight.

Canelo is levels above Maidana.

Canelo was easy for Floyd.

Maidana ana was very tough for Floyd.

That’s boxing.

Styles make fights.

 

Great post.

Floyd wasn’t stopping Khan at the end of his career. Although he’d have had to have fought far more aggressively than what he was used to doing at that stage.
