Amir khan's style was tailor made to take floyd apart

Khan already beat Floyd

Floyd clearly ducked him which is a W for Khan.

Amateurish long bum rush pitter patter is a slick boxers nightmare and Khan had decent pop.

 

I think Khan had the tools to do it, problem is #1. he'd never win a decision and #2 . There's this nagging suspicion that Khan would find a way to lose late up on the cards. Now that said, I believe Floyd thought he'd be trouble at that time which is why he avoided him

 

Can't disagree with this. Smart money is definitely on 'Smart Money' in this matchup. But after the poll, and Floyd's eventual reluctance to face the winner and face the guy Khan beat instead, certainly says something about Floyd's psyche or confidence. Funny thing is, it would/could have been a big money fight. Regardless of Khan's status as a top ranked fighter, he was still popular.

 

Hmm? I don't know, he had some excellent wins over guys that punch as hard or harder than Floyd.

Chris Algeri
Marco Barrera, on a cut
Marcos Maidana
Zab Judah
Devon Alexander
and he dropped a SD in 12 to Lamont Peterson
Why in the world he moved up to fight Canelo at 160 I'll never know
That was suicide

 

Should definitely be a W over Peterson. Close, but definitely a W. Wasn't there some weird testing scandal w/ that fight as well? Lamont's T count or something?

 

This is how petty and lame Floyd is.

Khan had a deal with reebok and had custom shoes made, shoes Floyd used because they were good.

After Floyd ducked Khan he boasted about how them shoes don't matter now AS IF he got a one up on Khan. bhahaha.

Floyd is a mental midget.

 

Now that you mentioned it I do seem to recall some controversy over some testing.

 

Found it. Synthetic testosterone.

EDIT. There was a bleacher report on it as well. For some reason post won't take the link.

 

This makes no sense. RJJ was simoly better than the rest, which is exactly how I'm referring to Floyd

 

Didn't mention style. Was referring to speed and IQ. Floyd could handle speed, and was 100% focused unlike Khan amd Zab.

 

Khan can't beat pbf I don't know how people can sit here with a straight face and say this nonsense. He's far too basic to beat him he cant fight on the inside or backing up and he has **** defense. Khan has a very low ring iq he doesn't make adjustments he fights the same way throughout the course of a fight there's nothing complicated about his game it's the reason why he's so easy to time shake him up and either stop him or break him down. Khan would get beat to the punch all night long walk into something he didn't see get hurt then pbf would start walking the guy down beating the crap outta him. You have to be high or simply a wishful thinker if you think Amir Khan wins anymore than 2 rounds against pbf. Khan is an orthodox boxer puncher pbfs whole style is based on schooling these type of boxers because they throw punches from predictable angles which he can anticipate see and deal with them accordingly. Pbf schools Khan who's not outboxing pbf nor is he knocking him out, he can't win.

 

Floyd should have taken the fight then. Which would have been much bigger than Floyd v Maidana, you know, the Khan victim and same guy Devon Alexander blanked.

 

Casuals wanted pbf-khan boxing fans wanted pbf-maidana, maidana won the poll here not to mention khan did nothing to deserve the fight. Who did he beat he was coming off a loss and a bad performance in the previous fight. Had pbf fought khan people would've just said he ducked maidana and he was scared of him because he beat his boy broner.

 

Yeah but that Chin doe..
he prolly would have been Floyd’s last KO
Of an actual boxer since Victor Ortiz & he wouldn’t have needed any sucker punches to accomplish this.

 

Dude... that's not true about casuals v boxing fans. You can't say Khan did nothing when neither did Maidana. OK..Broner??
And NO ONE would say Floyd is ducking Maidana when he'd fight the guy who BEAT Maidana. That's a poor excuse bro.

Floyd saw something that made him choose the loser of the poll.
