Is Floyd Mayweather About To Be Added To The Long List Of People Who Avoided Khan?

[The Big Dunn]

We don't know for sure if Mayweather is avoiding Khan for the same reasons Bradley, Alexander and Marquez did. I doubt Mayweather "fears" Khan but he might be hesitant that Khan's speed could cause more problems than a slower fighter. Mayweather is a master tactician with far better all-round skills than Khan. The problem is Khan's speed might still be a problem at this later stage of Mayweather's career. Then again, it might not be a problem, who knows for sure.. But it's a possible reason why Mayweather is showing signs that he might be avoiding this fight.

Khan hasn't earned the right to be a floyd opponent. there are far better ww who do. Khan's only chip is the money the fight would bing. Once Haymon and schaeffer run the numbers and see this fight wont make nearly what they project, they hopefully will stop talking about this.

Khan fans continue to be the absolute worst.

Mayweather doesn't need Khan if he'l have his way, at the end of the day when Amir Khan retired, his resume will have no Bradley and Alexander, he may fight Kell Brook through but among the elite, his best win was against Maidana and a past their prime Barrera and Judah, and had lost to Peterson and Garcia.

The only WW/jr.WW with "far better" credentials than Khan that isn't with TR is Garcia, and he has gone on record saying he doesn't want the fight.

Floyd may be avoiding this fight for the backlash it would bring if he took it. Nothing more. Personally, I wouldn't mind it if it took place in the UK. Good money for both men.

Why would Floyd duck from a fight that would give him an easy win? he would smash him within 4 rounds.

If Floyd fights Khan it would be his biggest cherry pick to date. Insignificant fight that absolutely has no build up or momentum. Is not like these two guys are in a crash course.

It would be a huge fight in the UK but no where else

It's better than Guerrero and Ortiz combined in terms of saleability and will probably be one of Floyd's more lucrative fights, although the Showtime deal guarantees that. It will certainly be one his most exciting fights.

Sure, it would be better if Khan was in a higher position in terms of consensus rankings, the fact the WBC has him ranked as number 2 isn't really justifiable at this stage. But still, it's as good a time as any for the fight to take place.

Julius Eater Chavez Jr has been told by Mayweather that he's unsure about the Khan fight and it might just be due to Khan's speed..

Mayweather's closest fight for years was probably against Judah, a guy that could match Floyd for speed. We saw what Khan did to a slightly faded Judah, he destroyed him much more impressively than Mayweather did. Although Mayweather of course did fight the better version of Judah.

Is Khan's speed Floyd's kryptonite and is that why Floyd is showing signs that he might avoid the Khan fight, just like Bradley, Alexander and Marquez did?

When you think about it, is Khan one of the most feared fighters in and around the division - in reality he's been ducked more than most other fighters out there, and ducked by top level opponents too. There are people who refuse to accept these truths and offer countless excuses but the facts are the facts people.

Are we about to add Floyd to the list or will he get past the hesitation, man up and fight Khan, regardless of the inherent risks?

I agree bro..you and I are the only khan fans..who know his true potenital..

When they're in the ring and being introduced..this is how its gonna be


"In one corner, the man who revolutionized boxing. The man who's the biggest asz kicker on the planet.The man who is the Face of Boxing. The man who everyone came to see and in the other corner....you got Floyd Mayweather."
