Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

One small thing, the pubs won't be open at 5am for this one. It's not Hatton, where a large majority of his fans were lager louts.

im watching a world title fight from japan right now

kazuto ioka v felix alvarado ...good fight!

 

i know asians that are loaded and close to the khan family and they have never once bought a khan ppv but they have watched it ,
they have got free tickets and provided me with a couple but never paid for them so imo i dont think it will do that well in ppv numbers :think and there not going to give free tickets and free flights to vegas for his fans either i can see it failing quite badly thats just my opinon .

 

Unlikely. Khan, who was recently fighting on free to air terrestrial television, holds no-where near the celebrity of Ricky Hatton. People just won't pay out for it especially given the recession here and the various free post event viewing opportunities.

I also don't think people are daft. Given Khan's decline and Mayweather's current pre-retirement 'victory tour' the fight appears to be as much of a mismatch as prime Tyson vs light hitting Willie Limond.

 

Leonard was a lot more declined than Mayweather is and Khan ain't no Terry Norris.

Mayweather wins this one by a wide margin.

 

keep hoping for a flop, it will not happen, unlike manny floyd has a guaranteed salary + ppv money, does manny?

 

what else would a fan boy say

ffs you probably thought the ghost was gonna be a tough fight, you know the guy who fought 90% of his career at featherweight

 

Khan is a harder fight for PBF than Maidana is that's for damn sure.

 

He wins all fights by a large margin.

 

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
thats because he cherry picks. shocker. 9-1 odds over the dreaded ghost....and he wins by shut out....who would ever saw that coming?

 

I'll give you that. Betting on Floyd against either is essentially free money....unfortunately, I don't see either potential opponent inspiring much betting action so the odds will probably blow.

 

The only question is whether Mayweather would stop Khan, or win 12-0, 11-1, or 10-2.

 

Maidana at least has power and will keep trying to press (not that it would do much). He has the proverbial puncher's chance.

Khan has even less of a chance. His skills are (still) grotesquely overrated at times. His defense, balance, and footwork aren't good, he's not accurate, not a smart fighter, doesn't have good instincts. After a round or 2, it'll be a familiar pattern of Khan ineffectively trying to box and move while missing nearly everything, while Floyd has a field day with him.

 

And even considering all of that, Khan is still a harder fight for Floyd than Maidana is.

 

Styles make fights and Khan will be much more competitive than guys like Canelo or Guerrero
