Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

If it is khan then it's up to the fans to make the ppv flop

 

He might be just ahead

Khan is going to marry a chick, and you are behind a step or two?

Bradley Vs Mayweather would turn into JMM Vs Mayweather.

Bradley wouldn't have the patience to sit back. He'd end up coming forwards, trying to fight May. His entire skillset would go into his punching abilities, while he couldn't really slip and slide on his way forwards. He'd end up plodding in, and May would deal with him like anyone else.

- My vision

 

they have different titles. bradley could become floyds mandatory if he drops his title and campaigns for the wbc. that could back fire and is definitely not guaranteed. floyd has stuck with the wbc for various reasons...but i believe it's because they allow him to get in and out when ever he wants. he's been riding the p4p game for quite some time. when the chips were stacked high....and cotto, williams and margarito were all on top of the division...he took an extended vacation and made his comeback after the dust settled. wbc straps have been his target.

it's unfortunate that the pac/floyd fight not happening is viewed as something bad because these last few years have produced some great fights imo. the mainstream/fairweather fans were stuck on pac/floyd...and missed some great fights. mma is not something that ever interested me....but i do know when it's one governing organization like ufc...it's really easy to control the talent and force fights. boxing is a global sport...much bigger than mma....so that isn't accomplished as easily. when some of these mma guys figure out how they're being raped by the ufc...that organization will get busted up. we had a boxing monopoly once. it was called the ibc....and it got busted up a loooong time ago.

 

yeah...i've watched that fight quite a few times myself. i'll have to try and watch in open mindedly to see if it changes my perspective. lol. please...no more manny avatars.

 

it would be interesting....

bradley is capable of fighting in more than one style. i think he'd mix up his attack moreso than floyds last few opponents. plus bradley is actually a pretty quick guy. never really saw him as the plodding type. he's actually pretty good about spearheading his way in. the head is going to be an area of concern for floyd that will force him to defend...and possibly give timmy something to work with. i think timmy has faster hands and feet than canelo, guerrero, ortiz, cotto and shane at this point. it would be interesting to say the least.

 

I would add;

Alexander
Broner
Provodnikov

 

Money ruins stuff to me. The guys in MMA who have "realized" that they are being screwed are never the top fighters. The top fighters fight. They earn money based on victories. If they perform badly, or don't fight often, they don't make money. Money, as a fan, is the worst thing in sports. It's whjat sends football players down crying when they tap their shin, it's what makes boxers pick fights they "should" win and it's why the generation of tough fighters like Joe Louis or Rocky Marciano couldn't survive anymore.

 

I have avatars turned off .

I didn't realize it was so bad with Manny fans though. Back when I last posted often, Mayweather fans were the delusional ones. It seems like the KO put Mayweather's fans into a state of tranquillity without having the Pacquiao fans to bicker with.

How can people not just appreciate both fighters? One to me is my all time favourite, and the other to me is the all time best. That's awesome for me to get to converse about these guys in a relevant manner. People need to appreciate what we get to have right now.

 

i am a fan of both...always have been...always will be.

it's just pacquiao's fans are the worst! smh. the guys clearly know absolutely nothing about boxing. i get it...their filipino....filipino pride does not equal boxing knowledge. lol.

as for floyd....he's the best of this era...probably the most skilled ever....but lacks the accomplishments.

when has floyd ever stepped into the ring and ppl said, "there's no way he pulls this one off!" or "i'm not so sure about this one..."

that's not been the case for quite sometime. that's not entirely his fault...but it is what will be remembered.

 

Pretty much my exact view on both at the minute.

I still kind of fell that Mayweather needs the Pac fight more than the other way around. Pac is going down as a hall of fame warrior. A dude who took on all comers of any size, and was always exciting. People may disagree, but the history books will read it. His legendary rivalry with JMM will be in there too, and both will probably attend an induction together in the future.

Mayweather will have what Lennox Lewis feared. People will mention Pacquiao for the rest of his life. Lewis fought Tyson to avoid that happening. Mayweather to me is the GOAT, but that won't stick. People will grow old of his "legacy" long after he's retired, and his lack of outstanding fights will go against him. He made his opponents look so bad, that people will consider them as bums in the future, which will suck, but he needs a new defining thing.

But whatever, I need to stop coming on here. My hopes for the fight are up again haha.

 

if and when the fight happens....ppl are going to be very disappointed. i don't believe pac ever posed a real threat to floyd. i've always felt the fight would be very one sided.

 

Back to MMA , but I wanted to see Nick Diaz fight Anderson Silva. My favourite of all time, with NO chance, against the greatest of all time. I just want someone to cheer for in an epic showdown.

 

Every time Floyd is in search of an opponent these shitty ass fans pick the weakest...
Last time it was Spadafora...

 

never heard of those guys.
