Amir Khan: "I would have beaten Floyd Mayweather prime vs. prime!".

I always wanted to see the fight so much so I voted on May's poll

 

Lol this is gold
I really do like khan
He is himself and comes across a great guy
Definitely seems a genuine good bloke

 

Prime Khan didn't do ****. In his prime he was KOed by Danny Garcia.

 

Let's be real we all know Floyd ducked Khan in his prime ... Floyd didn't want to deal with Khan's handspeed ..

 

Yet he fought ODLH at 154, a guy who is renowned for his combinations and handspeed.

Your not gonna tell me Khan is more of a threat than ODLH at 154.

 

Floyd would have won but Khan would have troubled him for a few rounds and would have undoubtedly put up a better fight than Clen.

 

Khan's speed would have bothered Floyd for a few rounds just as Zab's speed did. Floyd by KO in the 2nd half of the fight.

 

Stylistically I always felt Khan would have potentially given him trouble. People forget Khan put on some absolute clinics on relatively feather fisted but slick boxers.

 

Khan made a better version of Canelo look limited for 5 rounds though. Mayweather doesn't have the punch power that got Canelo out of trouble either.

 

he fought a mid 30's washed up DLH and should have gotten a draw at best

 

ODLH was coming off destroying Mayorga, in one of his best performances in recent years. And still had quite a bit left when Mayweather fought him.

And I can't take you seriously if you think that fight was a draw, it was a clear win for Mayweather 8-4. The first 6 rounds were competitive, but Mayweather controlled the later rounds.

 

He doesn't need Canelo's power, Mayweather is a superior boxer to Canelo. And he would walk Khan down and beat him up getting a stoppage between 9-10.

Remember when Mayweather started to walk down the speedy Judah and beat him up ? And Judah had to resort to low blows to save himself ? That's exactly what Mayweather would do to Khan. Except Khan wouldn't have as much success as Judah, because Judah had Southpaw stance which had Mayweather puzzled in early rounds.

 

That is beside the point .. He fought Maidana 2x and then Berto.. clearly at the time Khan was the bigger fight .. but he didn't want it ..

 

I have a hard time believing Mayweathr ducked Khan, but regardless of whether or not you believe he did or didn't avoid him. Theres still no way in hell Khan ever beats Mayweather.

Khan's erratic combinations, weak chin, defensive liabilities, is not going to get it done against the superior boxer Mayweather.

Timing beats speed once Mayweather works out Khan's rhythm hes done for.
