Yeah, but one of them was his own poll. The fight would have done big PPV. Obviously Berto was the safer pick at that stage of his career
You’d say this about anyone who was put forward to fight Floyd. I’ve never said that I think Amir would have won. Not at all. But I think he had attributes that would have caused Floyd issues when he was winding down his career, when there was talk of the fight happening.
I didn’t think he was. I’m saying that many people thought he was going to be easy on paper, due to his crudeness and the fact that Floyd obviously possessed supreme speed and skills.
That’s what they said about Maidana. Khan was heavily flawed but he had size, speed and confidence. Those attributes will worry anybody for a while. It will force an opponent to fight in a certain way. Floyd couldn’t have sat back and pot shotted him, like what he did against most guys who were slower with shorter reaches. Khan would have made him work. Yes, of course Floyd could have beaten him. But he’d have had to have fought him more aggressively than what he was used to fighting at that stage. Some people call Khan deluded. And maybe they’re right. But he had confidence and took the fight to people. He didn’t just turn up for a pay day against Canelo. He went at him and caused Canelo a lot of trouble until Canelo hit him with that huge shot.
Since when do you need to be a hard puncher to hurt Khan? Khan got dropped by Diaz and Vargas, FFS. He's been on the canvas 13 times in his career.
I have always been consistent since he started his career that Khan is a knockout waiting to happen. As a fighter he has a fatal .
I dont look at fights on paper Loudon. I look at styles, history, attributes and most importantly intangibles.
Based on what? What’s is Khan’s highest PPV figures? Maidana has sold well on PPV with Broner and Floyd.
