Why All The Sudden Is Khan A World Beater?

Because his weakness isn't his technique, speed or style, it's his chin and defence.
Pretty sure he would get mauled if he's in there with Pac, probably even lose a Maidana rematch, but against current Floyd he would have a speed and output advantage.
He'll lose though, certainly in Vegas. But it probably would be close.

 

Just like your Eurobums will be KTFO at the hands of All-American talent:rofl

All Euros are bums Con,Triple Duck, *****kos, etc.

 

Ok... Why was Maidana, Guerrero and Ortiz chosen? None of them cleaned out anything yet they got Floyd.

 

Sticky this thread please

 

Khan has definitely improved under Hunter, he maybe more boring but that's what he has to do to succeed and he is now finally fighting in a style which suits him. He has become a more rounded fighter and he deserves credit for putting in the work to make these changes.

But lets be realistic here, his chances against Mayweather are slim. But he now has the speed and style to at least give Mayweather a decent fight which is all we can really hope for. Mayweather is number 1 for a reason, he's simply the best fighter of his generation and Khan for all his improvement hasn't shown he has reached the level necessary to beat even a past prime Floyd, anyone who thinks he has reached the level to beat Mayweather was probably saying the same before his loss to Garcia despite all his obvious flaws back then and their opinion is meaningless.

 

Hes been a "world beater" for about 5 years.
Theres nothing new to it. He won his first world title in 2009, when he schooled Kotelnik

 

If Khan doesn't fall into range with his flurries, he does put Floyd in the position of having to come forward because he is slightly lengthier and has more speed than Floyd. Floyd doesn't really like to step in and counter, he likes to catch his opponents before they punch or if they are within his range he rolls/ducks a few shots and comes back with the counter right or the check hook, neither of which he puts his full weight on since he never wants to overextend himself with his defensive mentality. So "in theory" Khan's speed and volume would trouble Floyd if he stayed perfectly on the edge of Floyd's range getting off his shots and then getting out. However, I personally don't see it either. If Khan had even an average chin, I'd give him a shot with that strategy, but he doesn't possess that. I think he probably outworks Floyd for a few rounds before Floyd times him, hurts him, and in a rarity, gets a stoppage win late in the fight.

 

:good

 

There are a lot of British citizens on this board. Any time one of their fighters is even a little good they go ballistic. Europeans are pretty nationalistic, although I don't see any German fans extolling the greatness of their athletes.
