    Khan is kind of a Roger Mayweather with less power and more speed. Similar careers too.

    Wouldn't you say Roger had a better defense?

    Not really. Maybe a little bit, but they're pretty much similar. Roger couldn't fight a lick on the inside and was a sucker for pretty much the same punches...but he was longer, had better power especially in his right hand and understanding of range. Khan is more dedicated and has much better speed which makes him look flashier.

    Their punch resistance is at a similar abysmal level too. Although Roger in his prime was stopped by better fighters than Khan has been.

    Interesting to hear that Khan sparred with Floyd. You can see how that fight was being set up. I could just imagine them on 24/7 making up stories and going on about how Khan had got the better of him. They probabily had a nice edited vid somewhere to bring out, lol. Oh well.

    Zach Cooper has a future in boxing analysis if his fighting career doesn't work out, he was spot on.

    There's simply no way you could make Khan look good against Floyd :lol:

    Aside from Floyd standing there with his hands tied behind his back and feet nailed to the floor.

    Even then....

    It'll be like when Brendan Ingle used to take the fighters to local working mens clubs and ask people for a quid to try and hit Herol Graham, £50 prize.
