Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

He's already #2 p4p fighter though.

If you look at the froch fight, froch tried to bully ward but ward overpowered him, didn't go for KO / damage though and played it real safe.

 

aw i understand khan didnt do it, and im not saying he deserved it ahead of maidana, its just the belt arguement shouldnt carry much weight, it really doesnt mean a whole lot or say where a fighter is at on the belt alone

 

Brother Naazim is also the one that says the ultimate fighter is one that can swim and not get wet.
Ward can punch but why should he when he can outbox his opponent and not get wet?

 

Roach trained Khan was a beast just too reckless Floyd would have eventually started to pick him apart....this clinching Khan is gonna be very hard to beat by decision

 

Because you make more money if you're willing to get wet sometimes and douse your opponent.

 

I disagree. Khan is physically weaker than Mayweather and the clinching won't work in Khans favor. When he was firing off piston like 1 2 s with great speed, he was more of a threat. Sure he was open to shots, but Mayweather doesn't have the power to stop Khan nor deter him imo.

 

Bernard Hopkins has made more money than everyone except Mayweather.
In their careers, brawlers Kovalev, Bradlry, GGG, Miadana, will never earn as much as Hopkins, and more imortantly, at the ned of their careers they may not even be able to count their money.
Ward, Mayweather and Hopkins will cause they obey the r#1 rule of the sweet science; Hit and not be hit.

This is why Hunter is better than Roach.
Roach don't know the sweet science, but Hunter do.

 

I agree with you.

 

You group Hopkins, Mayweather and Ward but I don't think thats a good grouping. Sure they are all considered boring but theres are differences between them.

First of all, despite all the criticism that Mayweather receives, his style is SIGNIFICANTLY more aesthetically pleasing that Ward's.

Hopkins style is indeed horrible to watch just like Ward's but Hopkins has always chased the most intriguing match ups to fans and thats why he made money. He wanted to fight all the killers at the height of their hype.

If Ward chased a Kovalev fight or moved down to 160 for a GGG fight then he'd make money in the long run just like Hopkins does. Its amazing that Hopkins is the only one willing to step up and fight Kovalev even at his advanced age. That shoulda been Ward in there.

Plus why do group Bradley in with all the brawlers. Hes a boxer. A solid boxer too.

 

Trainers, do not win fights. its, the boxers right? and khan will never beat floyd!!

 

jim jim, why in hells name has khan never attempted to avenge his career defeats!!

 

duck khan? gtfo you fool!! Avenge your ****ing defeats *******.

 

I don’t understand this claim that Khan is no threat. As a boxing enthusiast and as a huge Floyd Mayweather fan, I really believe Khan and Manny are the only two fighters that can derail Floyd. I think Khan gives Floyd problems with his output (brilliant, accurate combinations), his speed, the fact that Khan is always conditioned and in great shape is a huge advantage too. I also believe Khan is just as strong as Floyd if not stronger. I KNOW about Khan’s history of getting buzzed and KO’d here and there, but I really don’t think Floyd is strong enough to hurt Khan. Floyd couldn’t even hurt Maidana and Maidana’s been hurt/buzzed in almost every fight he’s ever been in. I think Khan is a formidable opponent, however, the consume probably won’t…

 

Sounds eerily familiar...just thinking of all the people who said he'd never fight Mosley or Canelo, either.

 

The other day Mayweather said he couldn't fight Khan because he was a Muslim.
I swear Floyd's gone nuts he is a clown
