Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

avenging defeats means NOTHING once the guy that has defeated you gets his AS.S kicked by someone else. POINTLESS
Danny Garcia will never give him that chance.

did tyson avenge douglas after holyfield wrecked him? no
Wlad avenged no one
hearns never rematched hagler
duran never rematched hagler, hearns or benitez
im sure u see where this is going, its not story book perfect like u guys seemed to like to have with this closure

problem is, floyd wont fight pac so khan is the next worthy guy, and he is backed now by showtime and has the UK vs USA revenue and build up.
Floyds fights vs Fat Ghost, Ortiz, ancient mosley, fat old JMM, maidana II.....he seems to make plenty of pointless fights no one wants to see

 

His style is excellent for the amateurs. He knows how to throw combinations in rapid Fire and beat guys on points. He really perfected how to win in Olympic styled, amateur boxing.

My only issue with the guy is he's suffering from extreme delusions of grandeur and views himself as being a lot better at this current juncture in his career than pretty much everyone else thinks he is.

He's brainwashed himself and his handlers into thinking he actually deserves a fight with Floyd or manny after accumulating just 2 pro wins at 147 against 2 non-champions.

I'd have a lot more respect for him if he decided to try to earn either fight based on his own MERIT and him not trying to talk himself into the fight in the same manner that Haye did with Wladimir.

 

I think it's petty disrespectful for people to try to couple Khan at this stage in his career with the great manny pacquiao.

Obviously pacman is the bigger threat to Floyd, he's exponentially more experienced than khan, in fact he's pretty much superior in almost every facet in the boxing game compared to Amir. I don't think khan has a clear cut advantage even in the hand speed department.

One guy truly deserves the fight while the other is just talking himself into a matchup without having put in the required body of work at 147 to warrant a matchup with the P4P king.

 

PAc ofcourse, thurman comes second and then brook.

 

Pac

 

Leg movement has nothing to do with hand speed. I'm talking about hand speed and overwhelming opponents with fast punches. Having great leg movement and using them to position opponents in places they feel uncomfortable in has nothing to do with hand speed. That requires ring generalship and ring IQ. Eubank didn't have the greatest speed but had leg movement, Hopkins didn't have the greatest speed but had leg movement, Foreman didn't have the greatest speed but had leg movement, Wladimir Klitschko doesn't have the greatest speed but has leg movement, Ike Ibeabuchi doesn't have the greatest speed but has leg movement, Lennox Lewis didn't have the greatest speed but had leg movement, Hagler didn't have the greatest speed but had leg movement, Duran didn't have the greatest speed but had leg movement....etc.

Khan is literally 90% speed, and everyone that knows him or closely follows him would know this instantly. His speed is so top level that it overshadows his predictability and makes it difficult for opponents to react fast enough to counter his super fast yet predictable attacks.

There are endless examples that serve as logical proofs to this in his fights. Danny Garcia openly stated before the fight that they're working on a blind counter hook as Khan predictably hops in with fast one twos. You can clearly see Garcia throwing that punch over and over from the opening bell till he eventually got him in the third round and literally did so with his eyes closed and head down. Why was he able to do that?, because Khan is predictable.

 

On the contrary, you have to respect the fact that Khan's changed his style and approach substantially under Hunter while harnessing that speed. I believe he's become even faster and more unpredictable. How come a fast, technical, pure boxer like Devon couldn't predict any of his shots or successfully counter him to win at least one round? I'm sure Devon's better at it than Garcia ever would be.

Having said that, Garcia would struggle to land any one of his slow motion, wide, looping shots in a rematch (regardless of whether he does so with his eyes open or shut). I can bet everything on that, you'll see why when it happens.

 

Stupid mistakes.

No, Garcia timed his ass. That's all.

Khan has low ring IQ, he has **** d, a glass jaw.

Garcia and Floyd knocks him out. :rofl

 

Garcia has previously stated that he is open to a Khan rematch. I think in reality, Khan and his team has no interest in Garcia rematch, as a risk of another loss would mean good bye to his chances a big money fight with Floyd.

I do agree that Floyd had his share of pointless fights (although Fat old Marquez hasn't done bad since that loss, has he?), but this is no reason to have another one. I, for the record, do think this fight will happen, because it fits the pattern of Floyd fights, sellable, but easily winnable.

 

Amazingly, there seems to be a lot of people on these boxing forums that share this delusion with Khan. Look for Khan to have some semi-joke of a fight of Floyd and Manny agree to a fight. Potential match up with a winner is just too lucrative to take on a risky opponent at the moment.

 

Are you serious!? I thought it was common knowledge that Kindelan got a huge paycheck handed to him under the table to throw an unimportant "rematch" against Khan. A rematch only made to make Khan look better when he went pro shortly after.

 

Indeed he has and I respect that. Still though, his primary attribute is speed and the fact that he's only recently celebrating the ability to hold on while hurt questions his actual ability with speed pushed aside. Alexander wasn't able to exploit it because obviously Khan is faster and because he lacks power. Remember, speed can help you get away with predictability depending on your opponent's attributes.

As far as Garcia struggling in a rematch is concerned, we will never know because Khan and his team will never ever(quote me on that) rematch someone that already knocked him out. They had no problems exercising every right available to rematch Peterson, but Prescott and Garcia were given the "I was drained and my trainer was bad" recurring treatment.

 

Because it's hanging in Prescotts living room!!

Second place is the best loser

 

Again with the "Garcia got lucky" excuse? Khan lost because Garcia punches with his opponents and has good power, which Khan struggles against.

 

Do you have proof of this? Just curious
