Khan vs josesito lopez December 6

what this also may confirm is that kell brook wont be fighting lopez

hearn mentioned lopez first as a possible challenger for brook in england

 

Only if he gets by Lopez, which is no given. Chances are he does, but...........

 

This is a so-so fight, not bad, not good. But for someone trying to call out Floyd and Pacquiao, this fight stinks.

 

IB, what do you think happens in a fight between Floyd and Khan?

 

I've said this many times. Mayweather's counter right impales him.

People always say Khan has the style to beat or at least trouble Mayweather and that is bologna. All they base that on is their speed being supposedly in the same league (not true, Mayweather is clearly faster, he just doesn't throw combos as liberally as Khan does, which creates the impression of speed in people's minds...if you look at punch for punch speed, Mayweather is clearly faster of hand) when in terms of skill Khan is, while perhaps underrated as far as his out-boxing ability, not anywhere near Mayweather's class. Also, for all his speed, Khan is someone that can be timed: see the Garcia loss. Whose timing is better than Mayweather's? I rest my case.

 

I've said it before, but Khan's not smart enough to beat Floyd.

 

Correct. :good

 

I always laugh when people say Khan could give Floyd huge problems.

Other than speed, Floyd is superior in EVERY aspect. He has better defense, better footwork, and a MUCH higher ring IQ.

 

Even in speed.


I really don't get how people see it otherwise. Khan regularly throws flashy looking combos. Mayweather doesn't, he prefers one and done pot shots, that's his game.

Compare their punch for punch hand speed and Mayweather is plainly faster. :conf
