What you think? Counter left hook was what did him in, Garcia may be a bigger puncher than Floyd though but has a lot less speed.
Khan would box a lot smarter vs Floyd but I tend to think Floyd would have stopped him too.
Floyd's punching power should not be questioned at this point in his career. He had Shane and Cotto leary of it. Every fighter he has faced becomes cognizant of Floyd's punching power by the time the championship rounds begin; if they are still around.
Really Khan's chin is so suspect and Mayweather has such sharp accurate punches I can see him unintentionally KOing Khan while he pitches his normal shutout. That is how terrible Khan's chin is.
This right here^^^^^^^^. Spot on DLM. Spot fvckin on bruh. :fing02:
floyd would have humiliated him, khan is very flawed and fights without intelligence. mayweather meanwhile is the most intellgent and diverse fighter in boxing. he would have figured khan out in 2 rounds and then put a one sided beating on him. khan would have been completely clueless and defenseless.
the fact that floyd might not be as big a puncher would make matters worse for khan, getting KO'd early would be better than getting schooled and then finished of late late in a complete mismatch.
Would garcia have ko'ed Floyd? Cotto hasnt got a punch according to Margarito and he didnt feel cottos punches. Im sure Garcia hits a fair bit harder than Cotto does.
Based on what?
Remember cotto hit mayorga so hard he broke mayorga's thumb haha that's power Jk
But seriously how do you figure that?

Floyd would have completely embarrassed the kid... and yes he had Cotto hurt so I could easily see him destroying Khan to the point that Mayweather haters would be calling Khan a damn hype job that should have never been born.
Like I said years ago when Khan called out Floyd (then said he wasn't ready yet) that he would have been embarrassed, badly. Like bad bad bad bad... to the point where the people that demanded the fight would say Floyd cherry picked Khan.
Same sh*t different day.
Lets say Maidana and Peterson. Both had Amir Khan, both couldnt finish him, both pretty good punchers. I'd say harder punchers than floyd, althought i'm not sure.
If a fighter gets inside, why should he be pulled off and forced to work back inside upwards of 10 times during a round just because the ref is being partial to his opponent?
Let them fight like Smoger or any quality ref does...not Joke Cortez.
Mayweather might have won anyway, but fighters deserve a fair crack at it.
When Cortez let them work, Floyd was outfighting Hatton on the inside. Even forcing Hatton to step out of the clinches himself.
While Floyd has shaken fighters with better chins than Khan, Khan has stayed off the canvas against fighters who hit harder than Floyd. So it's not that simple. Just to argue the other way, since this thread has decided overwhelmingly that Khan will get knocked cold.
Who are these fighters exactly?
Why does Floyd expect preferential treatment?. Why cant Floyd try and fight and beat the hatton everyone else had to fight?
WHy cant he fight the hatton, kostya had to fight? WHy does Floyd want everything his onw way? Hes got home advantage, weight advantage, refs and judges on his side!
Elbows hatton all night long and holds hatton when he dont want hattons body shots.
So Hatton lost because Cortez wouldn't let him grapple and hattons lack of defense was the reason he was getting caught with big shots?

Man dont even bother. Weebler lives in this fantasy world where ricky hatton is an elite fighter. He just can't accept the fact that God, muhammad, jehova, ra, buddha, yaweh or whatever god yheas an individual believes in made floyd better in every way than ricky.
Being serious now, much of the fight was on the inside obviously Hatton was like a fish out of water as his idea of infighting is hugging with one arm and hitting with the other something that is not allowed.
It was the repeated splitting of the fighters by Cortez which cost Hatton as Ricky would take a big shot on the way back in. Without those he would never have even have been wobbled, never mind KO'd. Cortez's actions had a direct influence on the result, just he did v Ortiz. He's a discredited ref, his name is dirt now.
Also Khan's weak chin didn't lose him the fight his inability to adapt lost him the fight. The majority of fighters would get hurt if that left hook hit them however the majority of competent fighters would not stand and trade when their senses are dulled.
Khan's chin lost it, his legs were gone and he was (by his own admission) struggling badly for balance. Brave as he was to fight on he was done as soon as the first big punch landed, Roach said he was going to stop it sooner.
is this realy even up for debate, with Mayweathers accuracy and Khans kinder egg chin he dont need massive knock out power, before he knocked out Hatton i dont think anyone even realy questioned Hattons Chin, he hits harder than you realise its just he has the skills to not have to go for a KO, look what he did to Ortiz ok granted Ortiz was caught of gaurd but Khan has the worst chin of any world champ ever to grace a boxing ring plus Khan is going to be getting totay out boxed every second of every round.
and he wouldn't have without a corrupt home referee forcing Hatton onto the outside
b/s Khan was 2-0 up about to go 3-0 up when that shot landed, you don't outbox someone by eating everything they throw, Garcia's power combined with Khan's weak chin won the fight for DG
How dare Cortez enforce the rules of a boxing match. He should have allowed to fight to turn into the Kirkland v Monila travesty. Being serious now, much of the fight was on the inside obviously Hatton was like a fish out of water as his idea of infighting is hugging with one arm and hitting with the other something that is not allowed.

spoken like someone who doesn't understand how to setup an opponent. Of course If you spend your whole life watching Hatton fight, when would you ever see it.
Im sure you were one of those who didnt think Floyd would KO Hatton either. hehe

Danny outboxed him. That's why he was landing all the counters.
