I have a habit of doing that. I don't know why, though :huh Maybe I like to cover both sides of the arguement. good)
He will soon realize the difference between fighting likes of Zab Judah/McCloskey if he fights Floyd. Floyd beats him all ends up, I just don't see how Khan can win this fight and even pick-pocketing the fight by hit and run tactics ain't gonna do it this time.
The rivalry has started. Floyd has to get through Ortiz in September and even Pac in May! Khan has to fight Peterson, Morales, maybe Berto etc This fight is bogus unless Khan shows his worth at 147.
Much like Ortiz, he's being very naive. I think he's banking on Floyd growing old by this time next year, and that youth and energy will be enough to beat him. :verysad But best of luck to him. Other than Pac, I'd like Khan of all people to inflict the first defeat on Floyd.
I will have to change my original prediction i have just seen the Boxrec stats on both men and Khan is a few inches taller then Floyd. Khan wins easily!
He will put Mayweather in an interesting position next year, though, if Khan keeps winning in the meantime. If Mayweather wanted to carry on fighting, who would he pick as an opponent if he didn't want to fight Pacquiao or Khan? Khan's mouth might just make it more likely that we get one of those fights. We could get to a position where the casual fan assumes that Mayweather will walk any fight that is not against one of those two. So while I think that it is a little premature for Khan to accuse Mayweather of ducking him, I'm glad he said it as we might get one of those two fights next year. And however divided we all are on the outcomes of them both, we'll (almost) all be excited at the prospect of seeing them.
Exactly mate. Many have done that with Hopkins and came up short changed when they find out this fella still has it in him to pull out great displays. Floyd's in the gym all the time and having behind closed doors bouts like Leonard did i'd like to think.
Its funny that Khan is pursuing the Mayweather fight in the same way lower level fighters pursure a fight with him. Stupid talk like he is scared and he is a chicken. Floyd is not scared of Khan. Khan isn't even a proven welterweight. Beat Peterson then step up to face Berto. That win would make the Floyd fight sell EASY!
Why Peterson?! He's a no mark. Khan is literally one of the least intimidating fighters I've ever seen. I can't see that many would be 'scared' to step into the ring with him (in terms of 'Elite' level fighters anyway!)
Yep, I'm sorry there's nothing to be scared of Khan. He doesn't have extreme power. His speed yes is very good but at times can be used against him when he gets over zealous and takes liberties. Plus the happy feet...although the happy feet weren't out on display against Zab if he brings out the happy feet against Floyd he's in trouble.
