Amir Khan has a decent chance to Shock the World by beating Mayweather Mid/Late 2012.

Of course he's going to be an underdog, everyone is against Floyd.

His inside game is definitely lacking a lot, but on the whole his offence is very solid... sure it's based on volume, but it's consistent volume. Khan isn't aiming to hit you flush with the 1st or 2nd punch he throws, but the 3rd, 4th and 5th are all usually damaging blows. Just look at how much he was busting up Zab and Paulie as examples.

Khan also does good against counter punchers, both Kotelnik and Judah are most comfortable when countering and he dominated them. They just couldn't get off against him because he was in and out of range so fast after getting off his own shots first. Floyd beats Khan because he's not just a traditional counterpuncher, he can also pressure consistently and fire off first as well. If he lays back looking for big counter shots like Judah did, then he's losing the fight. Thank **** you're not Floyd's strategist/trainer.

 

Hasnt been down in any of his fights a jww and took the biggest punches that weightclass has to offer and stayed up. He was clearly weight drained at lightweight not to mention he'd been pampered like her majesty the queen until he moved to the states since the prescott fight to me hes shown no signs of having a glass chin. It will always be a thing for people who dislike him as a person to jump on him as a boxer for but to me it has little to no ground anymore and if i disliked him id probably attack his defense more than anything but lets face it hes a much more worthy opponent for floyd than ortiz is

 

Oh get the **** outta here with your childish 'chinchecker' bull****. 500 shitty posts since June, get a job son.

Refer to my thread below and educate yourself :deal

You're right, Khan's offensive strength is the fact that he throws a large amount of punches and a couple punches later something significant gets through. That doesn't work against a guy who has made a career off of timing those sorts of onslaughts and throwing counters in-between his opponent's punches. If Khan attempts to flurry like that on Floyd he gets snuck on the Glass Jaw and he's down.

And for you to even compare Kotelnik and a completely shot/Glass Jawed/Glass Hearted Judah to Money, I have to question your intellect and/or sanity. You know why Khan did well against Judah? Because Judah came for a paycheck and it was evident as soon as his first half-hearted range finding jabs missed the mark. After that he flailed with a few punches and went into a shell that allowed Khan's volume offense to take control. And he did well with Kotelnik because he's a feather fisted bum. Bringing that farce up does nothing for your argument.

And what puncher has he faced? Maidana, who is nothing more than an unrefined brawler that didn't land anything until the tenth and then nearly knocked Khan out. Maidana had the wind of a COPD victim in that tenth round, was windmilling with arm punches, and still nearly had the guy flatlined from that point on. Also, Maidana's power is overrated and anyone who understands punch mechanics should understand that. Wild arm punches, for as powerful as they look, aren't as powerful as a concise punch delivered from the legs and core of the body.

I don't dislike the guy personally, in fact he seems like a class fellow though a bit arrogant. But, as a Chinchecker and student of Mandibular Fortitude I must say that his punch resistance leaves a lot to desire and that Fragile Glass Mandible will be exposed again, for sure.

 

Khan is another Hatton. In fact I'd favor prime Hatton over prime Khan.

 

Really?, because I seem to remember Judah outboxing Floyd for the first few rounds in their fight, simply because he got off first and was faster. Mayweather was struggling to get his timing right because of the speed. He only started winning because he adjusted and chose to walk Zab down. Again, timing and countering Khan is harder than people think, you can't just throw one or two shots in between his "flurries" and hope to catch him with something big all the time, if you do that you're going to lose purely based on inactivity.

Kotelnik is a great fundamental boxer with some solid wins (Maidana being one notable name), he also deserved the win over Alexander. In fact the only guy to EVER beat him clearly is Khan. Calling that win a farce is being SERIOUSLY short sighted, and just plain stupid.

Judah wasn't just looking for a pay check, that ****'s just stupid. You don't hire Victor Conte and turn up in the best condition of your career if you're looking for a payday. The fact that you even mention Judah throwing range finding jabs as proof just goes to show that you're seriously trying to discredit a good win. He always throws his Jab as a range finder, to set up the big left and pull counters as soon as the other guy has thrown back. Khan was just faster, stronger and better than Zab on the night, causing him to mentally fold.

I'm not saying that Judah or Kotelnik are better than Floyd, what I'm saying is that if Floyd just relies purely on countering Khan he's going to make it a VERY hard night for himself. The fact that you can't even grasp this simple point is astounding.

 

No chance. None.

 

What a beautiful and well educated post. You are a credit to the Chincheckers.:good

Your boy Floyd Got rocked by a massively out of prime mosely It happens Boxers get hit now you have to say the way khan recovered against Maidana was fantastic just as i can admit the way floyd came back against Mosley and controlled the rest of the fight was incredible.

Before you go off saying how can you compare the great Shane Mosley to Marcos Maidana. I'm not. Theyre both known for being big punchers and the only reason im bringing it up is to show that any boxer getting caught like that is going to be in trouble. The only reason Floyd hasnt been in much trouble in his career is down to his incredible defense which noone can dispute but when he does get caught its the same result. Is Khans defense as good as Mayweathers? No. Can it be? Probably Not. His offense however is out of this world and you may say he throws a multitude of unaccurate punches but his hit rate isnt that bad to be truthful and anyone who throws as much as Amir does is gonna put anyone under pressure and for me this is where his chance comes from. Which for me is far more of a chance than i would give Victor Ortiz in September. By later next year (Which is when Khan is talking about taking the fight btw) He may have Ironed out a few of his defensive wrinkles, hitting 3 punches out of 5 rather than 2 out of 5 and it could be one of Floyds greatest Challenges

 

like floyd said when he intvited the uk media/fans to his workout, khan is a jumpy fighter.

 

High praise from a Top 5 ATG poster like yourself.:happy

Still, our work is far from done as this joke of a thread proves because only classic Glass Jaw Denial can be to blame for people overrating this China Chinned Hype Job badly enough to where people think he's a threat to Mayweather.atsch

 

khan is not ready for floyd right now.

khan needs 2 or 3 fights at ww before facing floyd.
