Jim Lampley: Khan Has a Better chance of Beating Mayweather than Pacquiao does!

:yep

 

I agree with him, but I'll be interested to see how Khan handles Peterson this weekend. It's not to say Peterson and PBF are one in the same, but there are elements that could give some indication. I will be very impressed if Khan were to destroy/dominate Peterson, it would be his most impressive victory, in my opinion.

 

Agreed, they say styles make fights and i see the taller, younger Khan

give Mayweather a tought fight

 

Well, yeah, but he's coming with this after Pacquiao looks "not so good".

Now if he had said this before Pac's last fight...

 

Khan wins by UD against Void.

Pac wins by KO against Void! Easy work.. Pac wouldn't even have to bring his A game!

 

Pac could bring his C game and still beat Void! Jr. is all hype.. He's a fraud!

 

I agree. I don't see Khan having it all his own way at all and I will be very impressed if he does.

Looking forward to this match up

 

I agree but Khan has no chance against Floyd either !

 

I've been saying this for a long time. I remember when Khan said that he would beat Mayweather over 4 rounds (probably part joking) when he was just starting out as a pro, but whilst the majority of ESB (or BB I think I was posting on) was foaming with rage at the suggestion, I thought that Khan would have a decent chance in the future when he had developed a bit. I briefly lost hope for him following the KO loss, but he restored faith by truly addressing his weakness and learning to capitalize on his strengths without leaving himself as exposed.

Right now, the vast majority of people won't give Khan a chance, but a guarantee that if the fight is made that people will start to change their opinion.

Here's a recent post that sums up how I feel about this:

 

Khan has the style to give Floyd a slightly harder time.However Floyd is the man to break down Khan's new found ability to protect his brittle chin.
Khan can go far but Floyd has the tools to obliterate him.
Love to see this fight but Khan would do well to stay away from the one man GUARANTEED to expose him.

 

Amir Khan seconds before the ringwalks for Mayweather-Ortiz;"Mayweather only wants to fights guys who are old and way past their best"
Amir Khan 10 minutes before said ringwalks"We've offered to fight Morales twice but he knocked us back"
Hmmmm
Big talent,small intellect.

 

Maybe down the line due to styles and physical dimensions, but I think Pacquiao is more complete and has a more refined sense of timing than Khan has ever shown with his rushed flurries and nervous rhythm.

 

Mayweather would take Amir's head off with counters. It's a stylistic and technical mis-match.

 

actually i think the same...

 

No, he doesn't. He lacks the defense or Chin to survive and he doesn't have the power to hurt Floyd if he does manage to land on something other than his gloves/forearms.
