    The 5th most viewed thread of all time on this forum is

    Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

    with nearly 700,000 views which even surpasses the infamous TKO in 6 thread.

    Yet Floyd "Money" Mayweather still chose Maidana, A guy Khan beat. Maidana lost Floyd's own poll and would clearly draw less viewers. On paper was the easier style for Floyd. But Floyd still chose him and then STILL paid him off to wear foam gloves.

    People saying floyd would catch amir and stop him are laughable, guy couldn't bust a grape at those weight classes plus had really bad hand problems, didn't even like throwing the straight right at 100% because of it. Floyd would not have the power to get amirs respect, and amir had faster hands.

    How many times do you have to be told Low IQ Glass Jawed Amir Khan would get knocked spark out by PBF? His Chin was complete China. One of the worst in the sport. Mayweather would do a demolition job on him.

    Is Floyd allowed to use xylocaine or not?

    There is reason why Amir Khan could have become one of the greatest amateur boxers of all time. He had a very specific style and STYLES MAKE FIGHTS. Which is why everyone is getting their knickers in a twist over Usyk, although Fury will prove man meat and love handles beat quick feet.

    Floyd would hurt Amir badly.

    People prefer to see stationary Berto, Guerrero, Ortiz and Maidana I guess. Pathetic. Fair play to Maidana did himself proud, Floyd underestimated his workrate and tenacity.

    If Khan was as easy a fight as Floyd fans think then he would have fought. He would have loved to have anither hatton ko.
    Take in mind his trackrecord of ducking and fighting fighters at the perfect time with everything stacked jn his favour and it matches up well with that.

    Floyd ducked many fights, but Khan isn't one of them.

    It isn't possible to duck someone as bad as Amir Khan when you're Floyd Mayweather. The fight would have quite clearly been a Mayweather ko. Khan was shite.

    Most people probably can't remember when I was my current self but with Khan not Fury. Oh how they can imagine. A time before 2015 oh how old we have become.

    I am going to take a wild stab at this..but it goes something like this…

    Khan has some success early on. Khan gets greedy. Khan walks on to a shot. Khan gets KOd.

    Khan had speed, but he was SUPER lazy with his punches bringing them back like he was admiring his shots. He never ever got better at it. Floyd would win 7 rounds easily. Would Amir even be in the top 10 hardest punchers Floyd faced? Is Khan gonna outbox him?? Pauli is literally the only skilled fighter Amir ever beat.

    GTFOH with the Floyd hate.

    Agreed but I am not saying Floyd wouldn't have won the fight but no way he just knocks Khan out. If Maidana couldn't stop Khan I don't see Floyd stopping him. It's not like Floyd timed one hitter quitters like Danny Garcia either. Khan is not going down from a pull counter right hand.

    Floyd's fanboys live in their own world

    One guy says he would KTFO Amir Khan, another guy says he would have put Iran Barkley in a hospital in another thread (may be if he was handed a baseball bat to overcome his fear to step in the ring with a guy like Barkley). I wonder if Floyd's fans ever actually watched his fights at the higher weight classes? The guy couldn't crack an egg & put on some of the worst big fight snore fests where he would pot shot his way to UD wins even when the opponent was totally outclassed
