Mayweather back with his dad for one fight, Khan with Hunter for two....

Because Guerrero isn't in a shot cottos league that is all.

 

Well Khan doesn't fight like he should in my opinion. He is tall and rangy and should be fighting behind a lighting and piercing jab. The problem is he falls in when he jabs. He doesn't know how to fight tall. Also Hunter is too busy trying to make him fight like Ward. The late Emanuel Steward would have been great for Khan and Floyd Sr would be great for him as well.

 

Khan can't be fixed overnight, he's basically all he's ever going to be skill wise. Mayweather didn't all of a sudden learn a new style, he's always boxed Defensively and moved well. He was just sitting down more on his punches, standing in front of guys more. I thought his legs were fading based off his last couple fights, but its clear he was choosing to use less movement. He's been Criticized his for running, his dad just brought back his old style. Khan is no mayweather, he looks the same if not worse then when he was with Freddie Roach.

 

Completely different scenarios.

 

Khan is a guy full of confidence and thinks he's the man. I don't think he can see his flaws, Roach couldn't and seemed delusional at times. I think khans defence and chin aren't his biggest weaknesses, its his lack of power. If he had power with his blazing speed he'd be taking guys out, they'd be scared to pull the trigger with him.

 

Mayweather went back to his original trainer and to doing what he does best -- moving and boxing, evading and countering.

Khan, on the other hand, only just started training with Hunter a while ago, and (most importantly) he's trying to do significantly different things in the ring. Khan has always had the mentality of an aggressive combination puncher -- Roach tried to add more boxing elements to his style, and had mixed success. At that point Khan was fighting with a sort of offensive boxer-puncher type style. Now, under Hunter, Khan is trying to become more of a cerebral, patient boxer with a lower punch output, more focus on accuracy, defence and jabbing, only unleashing his old combinations when he's sure that the time is right. That's a big shift, and it's difficult to accomplish, particularly in terms of Khan's mentality -- he's more of an instinctive, energetic attacking fighter than a patient, thinking boxer. Mayweather, on the other hand, is a defensive, cerebral fighter being asked to fight in a defensive, cerebral way.

 

:deal

In a nut shell, Mayweather is simply reverting to type, where as Khan is attempting to change his.

 

You do realise that Floyd snr thought jnr how to fight right?

And has been involved in many of his fights as a pro?

Its hardly the same situation as Amir and Hunter

 

He's also vastly superior to Khan anyway. makes it a little easier.

 

Not at all the same. Floyd Sr instilled the defense into Floyd long, long ago. It was like riding a bike.

Khan wlil never be the defensive fighter he wants to be. He needs to be more like Pac. His offense needs to be his defense. The more Khan tries to change, the worse he'll be in my opinion. Virgil is the wrong trainer for him. Sad to say it, but he needs Roach.

 

What a silly comment.

Why not compare Ward and Hunter

 

Easy answer: because Floyd always had those skills and had just been using other ones. He learned that **** years ago and used to do it all the time.

Khan doesn't have those skills/that style, so ad******g to it will take longer for him, not that he'll even be successful.
