All Im saying 'IF' Khan feels better at 147 then he is going to shut a lot of HATERS up on this forum and world wide...

****ing back door khan thread....

Khan has no business getting a fight with Floyd and if he manages to get it somehow he's getting knocked out. Period.

It's true. Ok there's Judah but Judah's been beat countless times before and shown his limitations. I could mention the first 4 rounds which Judah probably won, but that doesnt really matter because a fight is a 12 rounds. Point is, Mayweather's style (defensive counter-puncher, albeit a well-rounded one) relies on his eyes and reflexes - on his ability to see attacks coming, and respond to them instantaneously. Thing is, it is a lot harder to see and react when the punches are coming in faster, and defensive fighters struggle A LOT more from this than from come-forward slow but powerful fighters. I think Calzaghe v Hopkins shows this, as well as Jones v Toney. Floyd's best wins are against fighters much slower than him (Corrales, Canelo, 34yr old DLH).

With that said, I think Khan is the next good fight. I'd rather see the Pacquiao or Martinez fights actually, but being that that is what it is, Khan is the only person with TREMENDOUS and superior speed to trouble Floyd. Your body can't duck what your eyes cant see. Floyd would probably still beat him, but he'd have to do it on experience and offence, not counter punching, where he thrives.

So in your opinion, speed is the only reason for Floyd to fight Khan? Khan got shook up bad and knocked out by fighters with far less speed than Floyd. That's a two way street in that Khan has never faced a fighter with Floyds speed. Floyd has shown that he can adjust but Khan hasn't. The only speed from Khan that Floyd might have trouble with is his back peddling speed. He is the fastest man alive going backwards.

Khan just doesn't have a boxing brain, maybe it will come later on with experience but as of now he is not ready for Floyd.

Hand speed is nothing when you're not able to get yourself into the right position to let those hands go. Skills pay the bills, and speed is only a tool, it's not a skill. Having skills is knowing how to maximize what tools you have, and Floyd is in a different stratosphere than Khan in that regard.

Look at Shane Mosley. People say he looked old against Mayweather, but in his previous fight with Margarito, who was slow and right in front of him, he looked like a million bucks and as fast as ever. Was he suddenly slower when he fought Floyd? No. Floyd didn't let him get into the right position to throw aside from that 2nd round.

The same thing would happen to Khan. Why? Because of Mayweather's impeccable sense of timing, distance, anticipation, his ring generalship/footwork, his counterpunching ability, in short, his SKILLS. Skills>speed all day

Also, i remember shane claiming the reason he'd beat floyd was speed lol.. amirs fast but i just don't understand how garcia, peterson, diaz, maidana... can all adapt to it but floyd won't .. :S. It's just more silly talk before to try hype it up, khan doesn;t stand a chance with floyd. Floyd's taking this because it's a good payday and he might actually get a KO lol

You don't believe this draining nonsense do you? he fought at 143/144 last time and diaz put him down.. he'l get put down at 147 then claim he needs to be at 154 lol.. he's not got a bad of a chin as everyone makes out but it's still not good enough because in a weight division where guys throw tonnes of punches he'l get caught every so often.

Is it floyds fault they do not have speed? floyd, is the master of the fundamentals.
something amir cannot hope to achieve. When will you keyboard warriors recognise this basic concept?

So Khan's speed wasn't too much for Prescott or Garcia but it will be for Mayweather. Ok

how many good fighters with speed have been along since he's been a pro that he could realistically fight?

This is funny. If we want to really talk about guys who haven't faced hand speed then Manny Pacquiao takes the cake by a country mile.
