Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

I won't go back as far as Peterson and Garcia.

What has Khan done in the last 3 years?

 

Oh we've been on a tear lately, mate! But even when it's a no hoper we'll be there in full force!

Khan will get starched but his resume is miles above Kell and Keith at the mo.

 

Alexander, Collazo, Algieri.

Certainly decent names, he didn't fight any big punches but still.

Those 3 are decent names, solid.

 

Chris Algieri just took Khan into deep waters.

 

You just want to see Mayweather end his KO streak. Well, let's see if he still has a killer instinct left.

Also, explain to me how two EXTREMELY mobile fighters, both who aren't very hard punches, both who don't take risks, will put on a great fight? Because we MIGHT some glass chinned prima donna who had 0 chance get knocked out(if Mayweather decides to fight)? That's not a great fight.

It is the equivalent of Pacquiao knocking Algieri down six times. That's not a great fight just because Pacquiao dominated. It was a fight that never should have been made.

 

No way.

 

Over the last 3 years after back to back defeats Khan has done nothing more than Thurman or Brook, if Porter beats Broner over the weekend I would rather him fight Mayweather.

It will not be a good build up, Khan is so far from Hatton is terms of support it is ridiculous. They seem to give tickets away for Khan fights on a regular basis now. Khan wants a payday and if he gets it then good luck to him but it will not be a "big" fight.

 

Overall resume and popularity, Amir definitely ranks above both, significantly.

No one out of Sheffield knows Brook and no one out of Florida knows Thurman. How are they going to sell this fight? :think

Khan has a big name in ****stan and even in the U.K somewhat, not as much as Hatton but he's still a popular figure there, although some of it is negative.

The buildup will be big.

 

Amir is one of the biggest risk takers in the game. He throws reckless combinations that leave him open for easy counters.

 

Khan takes MASSIVE risks. He shoe shines with flashy pitter-patter stuff and leaves his glass mandible hanging out to be hit by all comers.

 

Ahh, you beat me to it

 

None of Brook, Khan or Thurman are big names in the US. Khan's the easiest opponent of the three, no doubt, but in the buildup you can sell the names on Amir's resume, even if most of them are from a looong time ago. Casuals have at least a peripheral awareness of...

Algieri
Judah
Maidana
Paulie
MAB

 

Hated what they did with MAB in this fight. It was such a disgrace. :fire

 

:nod Shameful that they didn't stop it before the 4th.

 

Mayweather Jr vs Khan Sept 12th ?????


Looking more like it everyday...
