Amir Khan wants to fight Pacquiao or Mayweather in 18 Months. Why Not?

i'm sorry if this will upset you, but khan will never be as good as any of the other boxers you have mentioned in that list. he has good speed, average (or thereabout's) power, alright stamina (though not properly tested due to always fighting bum's) and a glass jaw to end all glass jaws.
he picked up a paper championship in a loaded division and i can't see him beating the two current best fighters in his division (bradley and alexander) let alone pacquiao or mayweather.

 

khan needs to clean up the 140 division before he can even think about Pacquiao or Mayweather, which isnt an easy task given the competition there.

 

Because so far he has fought nobodies and has beens. He has improved greatly recently and had the chance to prove this against Maidana but chose Paulie instead. I dont doubt he could do well at the very top but before he talks about fighting the p4p no1 and 2 he needs to get in the ring with Maidana, Alexander and Bradley. 3 victories from those then he can talk up fights against the elite till then he just sounds foolish.

 

Im english and I am a fan of khan however devon alexandra and timothy are ahead of khan at the moment

devon just stopped junior witter and Urango

Mayweather is far too smart for khan. I feel he would land his cuffing left hook and that would be the end.

khan is amazing at long range very good mid range but...khan can not fight inside one bit. floyd would shuffle forward against khan like he did with ndou. staying in the pocket he would beat khan up.

 

I don't think there is anything wrong with aiming to fight the very best but he's hardly taking on all comers at the moment, he should forget about Mayweather unless he's still boxing in 3 or 4 years time as he will have to move up a weight division and get experience their first.

Saying that fight Mayweather would be a no lose situation anyway for Khan this early in his career.

 

Lets Match Khan up against some of the top talent in the 147-140 range.

Floyd Mayweather Jr.- KO 8, he might win one round if Mayweather allows him to.
Manny Pacquiao- TKO 3, At least he survived longer than Hatton
Shane Mosley- TKO 5, Shane roughs him up then lands a big lunging shot that essentially ends it.
Timothy Bradley- KO 2, Bradley beats him like a redhead stepchild 6 minutes straight
Devon Alexander- KO 9, Catches him coming in beats him in similar fashion to Mayweather.

Well lets look at his record against the 5 top guys in the 140-147 region. 0-5 with all 5 losses ending with a trip to the Hospital.

 

I give Khan credit for wanting to throw his in with the best, but I do think he would be in over his head with both those guys. His offensive skills might be good enough to compete, but he is a ballchinian and would likely get ktfo. Just saying.

 

Be careful there Laz, you are trying to mix it up with the guy who is currently in the lead as most respected poster on ESB. He and his minions will fusk you up.

 

I'm Sorry if you take offence to this post but are you a ****ing psychic? from your post it looks like you know everything that will happen with khan and know him inside out!

 

btw cant wait till khan fights bradley and alexander

khan may not have the chin good as them but i will bet over 100 quid on khan beating them both. he is more talented than them, if only khan was american, he would be over hyped like those 2

 

Either way, the PAC fight is highly questionable, particularly because they both have the same trainer, I like Khan as a fighter but he can be really ******ed sometimes.
