    If u can't see floyd outboxing him, then you have some issues. floyd is the best in the world at outboxing people

    even marquez could school him
     
  3. Marquez wait on an opponent, he is a counter puncher, against Mayweather he had to be the aggessor, he couldn't fight his fight. Mayweather with the physical advantages and fighting his style always had the advantage.

    Khan has great speed, and at mid range nobody has come close to out boxing him.

    If Mayweather tries to box him, he will lose, he doesn't have the reflexes to counter Khan, and Khan's quick, jab, workrate will rack up the rounds.

    If Floyd were to win he has to pressure Khan, get on the inside and fight, not box.

    :lol: Bull****.

    Garcia stopped Khan fighting at long range and mid range using timing, does Mayweather have great timing (and speed)? Yep.

    Peterson walked Khan down, Khan couldn't keep Peterson at long range. Khan's boxing ability is far overrated.

    No-one can beat Khan when he sticks to his boxing - yeah, that's why he has the losses and competitive bouts that he does.
     
  5. Khan left him open, and that was not long range.

    Khan will just use his jab, move dominate the centre of the ring. If Mayweather just stays at mid range and waits on Khan he cannot counter.

    Peterson, said himself he could not outbox Khan and had to turn it into a fight.

    floyd would be to small for most of the top guys at 160, 147 and below floyd beats everyone at the moment. I would love to see him fight a true light middleweight and see how he goes. he beat cotto but cotto best weight is 147 and won a close fight against del hoya.

    Which was why I said long and mid range :think

    You really think Khan keeps centre against Mayweather? A Khan that doesn't sit down on his punches is going to take the centre from Mayweather? A Khan that when he does sit down on his punches, he gets hit? A Khan that has not fought at 147lbs? A Khan that has been put on the back foot by lesser boxers? A Khan that has shown no physical ability to push opponents back (other than by pushing them)? A Khan that has followed a gameplan maybe 3 times in his career? A Khan that has only effectively used his jab in one bout (Malignaggi)?

    I can literally go on all day. Their boxing ability are on different levels. Khan makes too many mistakes. Oh, but he's fast.

    At long range, Mayweather has a field day, his footwork timing and accuracy are too good. At mid range, Khan doesn't box well at mid range, he leaves himself open and his hand positioning is not good. Are you sure you're not thinking of Pacquiao at mid range? :think At short range, Mayweather has a field day again.

    Mayweather >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Peterson - in terms of boxing ability.

    Peterson couldn't outbox Bradley.
