Glass Jaw, moron, douche bag are just a few words that I attribute to Khan. While he's exciting to watch, there have been critical flaws that have been exploited over his 3 losses.
Prescott - No jaw, low recouperating abilities, didn't know how to weather the storm.
Peterson - Lack of inside game, no defence, bad footwork, stamina issue
Garcia - everything from the Prescott fight and the fact that he over looked this fight.
Despite these flaws there has been one thing I've never seen him struggle with - landing on a opponent. Mayweather prides himself with his defence and the way he turns it into attack. But how do you think he's defence would hold up against Khans blazing fast hands and his high punch out put? Of course Mayweather could wait and counter him easily, but it would require taking quite a few punches like Garcia did and that's sometjing he's not use too. Also he doesn't have the power that Gracia does and to a lesser extent Diaz. Mayweather has a much better inside Game than Peterson but again he took plent of shots in that fight and defence was pretty much non existent. So how do you guys see this fight playing out? Could Khan make this fight competitive for a few rounds?
" . . . . All he has is speed. If Danny Garcia can time Khan within the first three rounds, Floyd will do it . . . "
without a doubt.
also, wtf has khan done to deserve a shot against mayweather?
A lot of PPV's.
All I have to say this fight is that it will be a replay of the zab fight except khan won't last 12. People have to understand the zab that fought may was just as fast as khan and hit harder. After 2 may adjusted and beat him down. Same would happen with Khan. khan doesn't punch soft but he definitely doesn't hit harder and one thing people underestimate on Floyd is his chin and mindstate to do whatever it takes to win. Also for people to think Floyd can't crack they are stupid in the 9th before Floyd hurt the hand Guerrero was about to be done. The same Ghost who took flush bombs from berto all night. Floyd made cotto back up, Mosley, and Ortiz, he may not have 1 punch ko power but don't think those guys are just backing up just because.
My only worry is that Khan will change his style on the fight night to look like the experienced slick boxer , and it will cost his the fight and makes him look bad , and people will start to claim it is due to Mayweather's AMAZING defence O.O !
other than this , I have no doubt that Khan will give Mayweather his most competitive fight in years , and he has his chances to win !
I find it amusing that people hate Mayweather so much it blinds them to his in the ring talent. They want to believe everyone from Khan to Martinez to Canelo can beat him. They're lying to themselves, no one below 154 holds a candle to him. Not Canelo, not Martinez, not Pac, not Garcia, and not a mere con.
I get it, outside the ring Floyds an absolute tool. But inside the ring he a rare talent
Could be the fact that Zfloyd won't fight any of those guys tht makes people think that. There has to be a reason he's knocks back those supposed easy wins for lesser opponents and less money.

The main talking points for this fight would be that Floyds opponents can barely land on him, Amir never has problems landing on his.
To land a counter on Khan you have to take a few in the process and too hurt him you have to have quite a bit of power. Something Floyd isn't blessed with..... I see Floyd figuring out a way to win in the end, what that way is I don't know
hey dumba55es. no one here is disputing the fact that Floyd can time him with a counter, but Floyd doesn't have the power of Garcia and won't do nearly as much damage. Did you see how many clean shots he landed on Guerrero and he was standing without a problem?
Khan probably hits harder than Mayweather, in fact i read an interview where Roger Mayweather thought that as well.

I think one big reason for the Garcia KO was that no one really knew that Garcia had that kind of power. Everyone thought he was just a average punches who just got past an old Morales. I think Khan just wasn't expecting a punch like that from Danny and he wasn't mentally prepared for that. We discovered just how hard Garcia hits on that night and the rematch with Morales, he's got power in both hands.
Khan's offense is very predictable. All he has is speed. If Danny Garcia can time Khan within the first three rounds, Floyd will do it by the first or second. Khan is so easy to hit and with that pathetic glass chin of his I can see Floyd knocking him the fuk out pretty quickly.
Khan kept throwing the same combination again and again in that fight which ended with a lunging uppercut - he made himself easy to time and wide open to be hit because of that. He had very little variety, I would think Hunter would be training him to mix it up a lot more but Khan's problem is that he doesn't spend enough time with Hunter, he lives in a different country to his trainer when he's not fighting. That could work heavily against him in the future because he needs to invest much more time working on technique.
That's not true, Diaz has never been a huge puncher but he dropped Khan and rocked him couple of times. Khan's chin is terrible he's getting stunned every time someone lands a clean shot on him.
With that being said I think him vs Floyd would be fun to watch, Khan's hand speed would cause some trouble for Money but eventually he'd figure Khan out and stop him.
Ya but thats why I said knocked out. Khan recovered from KD's. It's different when he got KO'd as he simply couldn't recover from them (hence he has always been stopped on his feet). We wouldn't have this problem with Mayweather. KD's sure, but a flat out KO is more unlikely than some make out

Really? Do you know what Diaz's KO percentage is? its close to 70 % he deffinately can punch. People make a big deal about Khans chin but the punches that knocked him out would have knocked out most fighters. Look what Garcia did to Morales, how do you explain that and morales is knows for his chin the problem with Khan is he gets hit too clean whereas most others dont get his so cleanly. Anyway back to the point of the thread...Obviously Mayweather takes this in the end but I bet my house on it that Khan hits mayweather more than hes ever been hit. This will be a competitive fight!! Khan has never had problems with Technical fighters he only struggles against preassure fighters. Yes I know floyd can also do pressure he can do anything hes the best in the world but Pressure is not floyds game. I see Khan winning the first few rounds then mayweather changing from countering to more pressuring then picking khan off near round 7 to 8 then khan getting stopped round round 10 but this will be one heck of a fight!!
I see a load of people say that because Khan has a bad chin, that Mayweather would KO him instantly. Come on now. Mayweather isn't a mad KO machine really is he. He has enough power to keep people at bay, but that's it. He hasn't KO'd anybody (without a technicality in the rules) since 2007. Khan has only been knocked out by punches from huge punchers. I don't see a KO happening here.
But an easy UD for Mayweather, sure. I'd like to see how Khan's style plays to Mayweather's, as it's something we haven't seen before

All Floyd would have to do is be willing to eat some of them pity pat punches and land a left hook. End of fight. Good nigh. Stanly leg dance time from khan.
Khans never been one shot koed and has faced harder punchers than Floyd. He's been hurt numerous times but only stopped twice. He'll last longer than most think.
It's a fun fight.
Khan rarely loses a round that he doesn't get hurt in, of course,he gets hurt alot.
Khans speed and reach will cause Floyd a few problems and in between hell be hurt and fighting to survive. Despite his chin issues Khans only been stopped twice, he has alotof heart.
Will be a much better fight than Garcia, Peterson, Lucas etc, they will just be Guerrero all over again.
