Floyd Mayweather vs. Amir Khan speculation & discussion

Do what to Khan?

Depends how low he's actually planning to bring Alexander down in weight. If the fight is at 147 then I would definitely be impressed though still not surprised he picked Alexander considering his KO ratio and punching power meets Khan and his team's requirements as usual.

 

This fight will deffo be at the full welterweight limit trust me, for me this is the biggest fight of Khan's career as this fight will answer alot of questions of Khan.

If Khan loses he should retire from the sport, if he wins and looks good in doing so that means Alexander tested his chin at 147 and that Khan is feeling good at the weight as im guessing.

 

:goodexcellent post

 

Fully agree that he should retire if he loses though I doubt he will. He will most likely remain and take any fight available without worrying about being protected for a big payday. Alexander won't be a good test of his chin at all considering he has a poor KO ratio, not to forget his last TKO/KO came in 2010. I believe Diaz was a proper test of how Khan will handle decent welterweight power simply because Diaz was moved down to 142 and still nearly took Khan out.

 

I get the feeling the Khan camp were in two minds about what weight fighting Diaz due to them still thinking Garcia was still in the frame at 140, but you see it could of gone 2 ways, if Khan was feeling fighting above 140 is too much for him and that he will get KO at 147, he would remain at 140 and wait for the Garcia vs Lucas winner or ebven fight Peterson at 140 for his IBF title. No these guys really feel Khan has trouble making 140 and at 147 Khan would be at his natural weight.

We will find out soon what the truth when he faces Alexander on Dec 7th for the IBF 147 title in NY im guessing.

 

If you honestly believe Khan was waiting at 140 for Garcia then... :rofl and if you believe he would fight Matthysse(even if he loses to Garcia) then... atsch. What Khan and his team are doing is very obvious, they're saving him for one last major payday against Mayweather but are worried someone else would spark him off the table for good especially after the Diaz fight. The reason why they're considering Alexander, yet still have doubts/worries, is his KO ratio and NOTHING else. Your talks about Khan being drained at 140 is nonsensical crap, no offense but it's just pure bull at its worst. If he's drained he wouldn't offer the likes of Lopez, Senchenko and Soto to move down to 142 only to be declined, he would simply move up to his comfortable weight and perform there. Bear in mind, Khan will NEVER EVER rematch someone that sparked him, he will talk trash about them and talk about offers that never happened on twitter and nothing else. Why did he jump all over Peterson for a rematch yet slowly crawled away from Prescott and Garcia?, because Peterson didn't nail him with shots that had him jumping about like a kangaroo.

 

Garcia hit Khan with alot of shots before the NECK PUNCH and loads after it, Khan's chin is not as bad as your making out, and if it is even Alexander should KO Khan

Before the lucky left hand Garcia was getting outboxed by Khan even had Angel all worried in the corner.

I think he should of been fighting at 147 2 years ago, Khan been tight at 140 for a while now.

 

Care to explain why his solid chin didn't look too good against Diaz?, was he aiming at the neck too? Wake me up if Khan rematches anyone that soiled him. As far as Alexander is concerned, look at his KO ratio then you will realize why Khan and his team are considering him for yet another free belt as they did Kotelnik and Judah. You just do your job of cheering on and coming up with excuses far more hilarious than the knockouts.

 

:good

Talk to you Dec 7th when Khan the new IBF 147 World Champion, 2 weight 3 time world champion..

 

Khan has been obsessed with a Mayweather fight for the past few years. However, every time he gets close, he stumbles again. Despite his bumps in the road, he still has a good opportunity to get the fight he wants due to his popularity, fan friendly style, and his promoter. He's really two wins away from getting a Mayweather fight.

The first step is to beat Devon Alexander. I'm personally picking Devon in this fight. I'd imagine you'd have around an equal amount of fans picking both guys. The final step would be to beat the Broner/Maidana winner. Ideally, that would be Broner. If Khan wins that fight, he'd be the unified IBF/WBA WW champ. He'd also have 2 wins over top 10 WWs that many would've picked him to lose to, including a win over a Mayweathwr copycat. That would setup Khan vs. Mayweather(assuming Mayweather wins his next two fights) in September of 2014 for the WBC/IBF/WBA/Ring Magazine titles.

Will Khan do it? I doubt it, I think he loses his next fight. But, if he can get these two wins, he'll get his dream fight and it will a fight many people are excited about.

 

If he beats Alexander he will get the fight
But he wont beat him

 

The only path to Mayweather I can see is when he gets beat off Alexander he gets rid of Hunter and ends up getting trained off Floyd Mayweather snr.

 

Even if he beats Devon, I see Mayweather taking on the Garcia/Matthysse winner next, assuming Mayweather beats Alvarez decisively.

 

They will make Khan fight a tune up then, no way they risk making Khan having another fight and losing

 

Yes they will. Mayweather has shown zero interest in fighting Khan. Everyone tries to push that fight on him, but he's never taken the bait. Beating Alexander won't be enough for Khan. He'll need another big win. The Broner/Maidana winner would be perfect. If he loses, he's still young enough to make a comeback if he wants to.
