Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

The Mayweather of the Maidana series, I think a few guys can come at least close to beating him, his biggest decline since he's been pro is 2014, just depends on how slippery that slope is.

 

of all the fighters in the hat to fight FMJ, I think Khan has the best chance, with whats said above, his KO % is quite good too, considering he's been fighting top 20-25 guys for most of his career. He's obviously vulnerable to big punchers, will Floyd chance tactics and brawl to go for the ko?

FMJ will be big favourite for the fight, probably 75/25 in his favour, but it'll be like that against everyone below 154. Still think Khan will make a mistake and walk into a Floyd counter at some point.

I do want this fight to happen, but would be disappointed if it happens if khan remains inactive, he does need to fight a top 10 WW, (Guerrero or Alexander?) in the next 3 months to prove he deserves it.

 

Canello,Guerrero and Maidana were plodders, Khan is a different category boxer , he has speed and range to give Mayweather all sorts of hell.

 

100% agreed. I never thought this before, but I now could see pac and amir beating him. He should retire, everyone gets old, no shame in that.

 

I think mayweather might go for the knockout and fight differently to before he seemed to cop on that he's not as sharp

 

You can argue khan dropped maidana, and Floyd didn't drop him. At 147 CST who do you think stands a chance btw, other than PAC?

out of the top 10, id say Bradleys the only other one there, and that would be an awful fight imo, with Floyd winning on points, again FMJ being heavy favourite

 

His chin won't play a big role against Mayweather.


Mayweather hasn't had a legit KO in almost a decade now.

 

In your dreams :silly

 

that's kind of what I think would happen, think FMJ with a mid to late ko, o but he'll be behind on points, maybe 4 rounds to 2 going into the second half of the fight. Then again I thought that about the Maidana / khan fight a few years back, but Khan held on.

Could potentially be a controversial stoppage like Froch groves 1.

Would you pay your 70dollar or whatever to watch it though?

 

How would a 37 year old Khan do against a much improved Maidana?

 

And when Floyd beats him he would get NO CREDIT it'll be just another Floyd cherry picked a fighter who lost most of his biggest fights.....

 

Floyds unbeaten.

Go watch another sport.
