Can you see KHAN's Lightning Speed and Workrate, CAUSE Problems for MAYWEATHER?

Definitely can see Khan posing some problems to Floyd. Especially given that Floyd will be 35 or older when/if they fight and Khan will be a stronger/better fighter at WW than a LWW.

 

Amir would definitley give him issues

Air winning is a totally different story

Amir has fast hands and his reach also helps

he has a jab and doesnt give up his height

he throws combinations and circles out rather than admire his work or stay in the danger zone

and his body punching is very dangerous

Floyd is inactive and getting old but he is far from done

unless he pulls a roy jones and just fades out in one fight unexpectedly he beats Khan at the moment

 

Not yet. Khan still doesn't have the skill to box with Mayweather and he doesn't have the raw physicallity to trouble Floyd. However, Khan is improving rapidly with every fight. In a year or two, if Khan keeps improving, I would give him a very good underdog's chance precisely because of his speed and workrate.

 

And Floyd will be 35 or older. This isn't a prime Floyd anymore. And he relies heavily on his natural reflexes and speed.

 

I think Khan could have some initial success, but he was more aggressive in the Judah fight, because he met no resistance and was allowed to, PBF wouldn't allow Khan to dictate the pace or how the fight would go. This is where Khan would get into trouble, what happens when "Plan A" doesn't work? I'm not sure he has the experience or boxing IQ to make the necessary adjustments.

 

Maybe in the first 2 rounds, after that May schools his ass.

 

This is the problem with Floyd's career. After a good start, he wasted a huge amount of time and in recent years he hasn't added to his legacy at all. Whenever he gets in with a tough opponent again- say a Khan who is peaking- he's going to be rusty, old and unused to fighting the best.

If they fight in 3 or 4 years time, I pick Khan. Mayweather may have the same kind of undignified end that Sugar Ray Leonard had.

 

Floyd easily...that stuff Khan throwing looks cute but its not accurate at all...Floyd has a 72" reach and superior timing and accuracy.

 

Khan would win some rounds, but Mayweather would get the decision...his reflexes are still too good for khan.

 

huh?

 

:deal

 

You don't have to be special to beat a great fighter. Styles make fights. Was Jermain Taylor special? No, he just caught Hopkins at the right time (weight drained at MW and fighting very inactive fights).

We are not talking about a prime Floyd here. He will be AT LEAST 35 years old, maybe older, if they fight. So this is a past prime Floyd. And Khan continues to improve. And i think it's obvious he's going to be a better WW. So it's a set of circumstances that doesn't make it nearly as impossible.
