Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

I think Khan would obviously be a big underdog but I wouldn't say he has no chance and I definitely think he could give Floyd a tough fight. He's a bit less reckless these days so is less likely to get hurt with a counter. Floyd doesn't throw much or hit hard so there's a chance Floyd won't hurt him. The difference in punch output between them could play in Khan's favour and Khan's. Khans speed will also cause some problems.
Having said all that Khan will find it extremely difficult to land many clean punches due to Floyd's great defense. Floyd's reflexes, speed, timing, accuracy and ring IQ will cause Khan all kinds of problems. Floyd wins due to clean, effective punching. Stoppage? Maybe.

 

No one in the sport today 154 and down can beat PBF on the outside.:deal People like you vastly overestimate Khan's boxing ability he's not Hearns or Pea Whitaker he doesn't have the foot work to be a great boxer he can be outboxed and will be by PBF the best boxer in the sport. I repeat you will not outbox PBF in the middle of the ring there's levels to this **** and Khan is below PBF period. Also his speed is overrated as that it can easily be beaten by timing Danny Garcia timed the **** out of Khan and PBF has much better timing than Garcia. Not only that Khan isn't even faster than Zab Judah who PBF beat. Zab had the ability to beat PBF to the punch Khan can't. Khan throws combos fast but his single shots aren't that fast. So what good are combos when you're not going to be landing them on PBF anyway? No one lands combos on PBF so that is irrelevant.


Khan is too easy to hit and counter his defense is **** and that will be his undoing along with others like **** stamina footwork and ring IQ. PBF will figure Khan out time him in about 3 to 4 rounds and the fight will be over. Khan doesn't have a chance in hell of outboxing PBF. Not only that his workrate and combo punching will drop off to career lows. PBF has so many ways to beat Khan he can stay outside and move or he can let Khan come to him counter the **** outta him or take the fight to him on the inside. IMO he'll do all 3 while Khan on the other hand will only come in with one gameplan and as soon as he gets hit that to will go out of the window. PBF by UD:deal

 

Floyd is becoming more and more hittble Maidana proved this, Khan throws much faster cleaner punches do the maths..

As we know in a pure boxing match Khan is in his zone, yet to see anyone outbox Khan from range..

 

**** Pauly's fake guidoe ass.

 

And he is probably right on this one.

 

Khan doesn't throw a looping overhand right a punch that's great against the shoulder roll as Mosley and Maidana showed. Khan throws punches from traditional angles which PBF has perfected to defend against, he's not awkward so PBF's defense will be in rhythm. Khan's offense couldn't be more tailormade for PBF's defense.:deal

 

No one from range has outboxed Khan too..

You keep referring to the Garcia version of Khan, lets refer to the Khan who fought Kotelnik, Paulie, Zab, Collazo look at them scorecards Khan beat them in shuts out, now im not comparing them to Floyd but the point im making when Khan decides to box rather than to be reckless like vs Garcia he is very hard to outbox or beat.

Floyd vs Khan will be a chess match fight, and when its this type of fight Khan is in his zone, make no mistake Khan will try to do the same to Floyd too, and i feel he will win more rouunds than Floyd in a 12 round fight, i know many people will disagree but this is my take on the fight...

Plus Floyd is becoming more hittable now so this is perfect timing for Khan to fight him and also Khan under Hunter is a more boxing minded fighter rather than being reackless and trying to KO his opponent in the first few rounds like vs Garcia.

 

I disagree again, Khan reach and type of straight down the middle punches are not the type of punches Floyd faces, theese latinio fighters are mostly hookers and want to close the distance on Floyd which works in favor for Floyd, Khan wont close the distance his will try to outbox Floyd from range and will use his reach to good effect.

 

:rofl

You have to ask yourself who's the more proven boxer here. Do you think Oscar, Canelo or Cotto couldn't have outboxed Khan?:rofl

He's not becoming more hitable Canelo who's a more traditional like Khan barely touched him Cotto bareley touched him it was his jab that touched PBF. Khan's punches are not the kind of punches that PBF has problems defending against I have pointed that out to you already. If Khan had a looping overhand right or was very awkward I would have some concerns but he doesn't he's traditional. PBF is very good at shutting down traditional offenses.:deal

A chess match is just the type of fight that PBF wants:deal You don't play checkers with a grandmaster and Khan will be schooled if he tries.

 

Reach??? How will he use reach when his arms are shorter than PBF's?:huh
Khan is a traditional fighter, he throws punches whether they be straight or hooks from traditional angles. PBF has been hit with more hooking punches than straight ones. How many straight right hands have you seen PBF take flush?

 

Well I wanna see this, :yep Khan got other ideas :deal

 

I do as well. I hope the fight is made. I wanted PBF-Khan instead of PBF-Maidana 2.:good

 

How many Amir Khan's has Floyd fought??

I bet their reach is the same, i dont trust boxrec records, Khan uses his reach to full effect thats what my point was.

 

Same man.. :good

 

And PBF doesn't know how to fight tall and use his??? :yep:good
