Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

He won't though, he only fights feather fisted opponents because he has no chin.

 

I am sure that had nothing to do with Collazo being 6 years past his Prime either....

 

Ya,,Ya ,,Ya ,, Keith Thurman would KO him into never never land, but thats right Khan wont fight any of the top 147lb because he can not compete withe the top guys and thats a fact, he found that out at 140lb.

 

Wait and see, Khan will fight anyone, I hope its Porter or Garcia next, Thurman needs to beat someone of note first or get a title so Khan could fight him.

Khan will fight a top 10 147 in Nov/Dec that's for sure.

 

Concerning rubbish performances that some have seen from Khan let me just remind y'all what the scores were 119-104, 119-104, 117-106. Louie Collazo from Brooklyn, NY, three times down, deducted a point for flagrant hitting low even tho Khan also deducted a point for excessive holding and pressing Louie's head down... Mayweather has to give his mandatory a fight as a WBC Champion or give up that title. Lone Star Donald Curry gave his mandatory a shot and he was na englishman Lloyd Honeyghan, both were, 25-0, 20 KOs, the same Curry gave a shot at the WBA title to his mandatory Marlon Starling, The Magic Man in their second meeting after their first encounter when both were undefeated and one was USBA Champion and the other Curry was NABF Champion. Wilfred Benitez to Sugar Ray Leonard. Pepino Cuevas to Tommy Hearns and so on. TBE is no different to the common title holder, follow the commission rules or give up the WBC title.

 

Thats what you call SCHOOLING :hi: :good

 

Khan is surviving in boxing by the grace of Allah and the match-making/match-avoiding skills of Al Haymon. I'd say the percentages are 5%/95%, respectively.

Khan hasn't had a legit win against a legit top 10 opponent since 2010 (Maidana). For all the talk about Khan's "improvement," we haven't seen him in at a high level. Let's compare: Maidana has definitely improved. You can see it in his fights against gatekeepers, and you can confirm it in his fight against the p4p #1. Khan LOOKS like he has improved, but he isn't even at the gatekeeper level yet. Molina, Diaz, and Collazo are not at the level of Jesus SK, Josesito, and Broner. So we can't say Khan has improved when it is more likely due to a regression in his quality of opposition. If Khan didn't look impressive, we would have to conclude that he has gotten worse.

It might be that we've heard this story before. Let me refresh your memories:

Khan gets iced by Prescott.
-Word is that Khan was unlucky.
Fights 5 nonpunchers in succession while moving up a weightclass.
-The word is that Khan is "improved" and "stronger at the new weight."
Khan fights dangerous but limited Maidana in a ballsy move that nearly costs him.
-Word is that Khan needs to work on defense but his chin is improved.
Khan fights 2 more nonpunchers.
-Word is that Khan is improved.
Khan fights nonpuncher Peterson and is controversially defeated (imo comprehensively).
-Word is that Khan was unlucky but has an improved chin.
Khan is hilariously knocked out by Garcia.
-Word is that Khan needs to work on his defense.
Khan moves up and fights 3 nonpunching noncontenders.
-Word is that Khan is improved under Virgil Hunter and "stronger at the new weight."

He is at about the same level as Guerrero: Above Berto and Ortiz, maybe 8th-10th in the division with a wide insurmountable gap between himself and the top 5. He isn't going anywhere and will continue to fail when he steps up to face a challenge. He will continue to look good against fighters who can't punch and aren't top 10. That is what he is: a quick fighter with enough ability to outbox and out-athlete guys who aren't very good and don't have a puncher's chance. He also has a deplorable lack of ability to endure being punched on and about the face. This means that when he fights opponents who have enough skill to hit him, he loses. These types of opponents typically reside in the top 10 of their divisions, which means that Khan does not, or will be very lucky to.

 

Manny never pressed his rights as the mandatory, and then Manny went and fought Bradley for his belt, which removed him from the WBC standings. Manny had the right to push for a Mayweather fight via the mandatory, but chose not to do so. (Well, Bob Arum chose not to do so)

Stupid I know, but that's how it works.

 

khan did good against collazo but i think it has been gassed up. i give khan a B- for his win. but so is mayweather ducking maidana now, the fans want the rematch and boycott if floyd fights khan. and it also would be dangerous for khan to fight someone in between the time of the mayweather madiana rematch. khan fighting a thurman or porter is to risky, he better off fighting one of them after he fights floyd. i guess floyd will get stripped of his wbc and fight maidana in rematch or defend it against khan. somebody gone have to wait next yr and i dont thinks its maidana.

 

everyone at 140 except Danny Garcia who separated him from his senses.

 

:huh

 

A mere con!

 

This has to be a joke...

 

:deal

 

Danny Garcia?
