Nigel Benn: "Khan A Tougher Fight For Floyd Than Manny -- Khan Will Beat Floyd!"

I still don't get how people think Khan can outbox Floyd. Olympic Silver medallist, super human speed, range and length. Floyd 10 years older.. Not too hard to believe. Floyd is much better all round (inside, mid range, counter punching) but Amir only has to exceed Floyd on the outside distance (and keep it there) to win, which he currently does. Floyd doesn't give free shots away and his defensive acumen may be his downfall.

Khan comes to box more than Manny does Khan speed, fast combos n boxing stragety to win on points would give Floyd problems Unlike Manny, i think Manny would give in on a pressure style after a few rds vs Money Nobody has really outboxed Floyd for a significant stretch but Floyd has been pressured effectively. If floyd has slowed down a lot, khans speed and range may give him a decent shot. Otherwise, I'd prefer pacs southpaw stance, pressure and awkwardness to get a better chance of getting to floyd.

kahn is all wrong for floyd

Benn is just a blind nationalistic fool. Some people are so quick to forget the past when a guy looks good against the right opponent. Khan is still the same wild, jumpy fighter with no real defensive skills, no timing, and no strategy in his game. Mayweather is the greatest and smartest boxer of our generation and Khan has absolutely no chance against him.

Last year it was like Maidana a better fight than Khan... This year Khan is promoted as a better fight than Pac.

I think Khan would give an ageing Mayweather problems with his quick combos but he would still beat Khan, I think Khan needs another 2/3 fights fighting this way before I can be convince that he would beat Mayweather.

I don't understand how people think this. The things Khan does that would give Mayweather trouble, Pacquiao does as well but much better. Khan is bigger, but he isn't as smart or crafty as Pacquiao and that usually matters much more.

How can you be ready to Floyd when you're fighting someone's leftover, leftovers? At least Kell fought the guy who beat Alexander lately, he was what 3 or 4th? Somehow Khan is ready for a Floyd fight? He is supposed to look good getting fed scraps like that, he still fought a JWW at WW. That actually sounds like the exact resume to need to face Floyd. B class fighter matched with a C class fighter so it fools people into thinking Khan can hang with not an A level, an elite fighter. Floyd just needs his first KO win since Hatton and Khan is really the only guy with a bad enough chin to get KO'd by Floyd.

Khan still has some polishing to do but I think I agree.

benn knows his boxing...

just what khan wants us all to be saying. honestly always said he was low on merit and still is but thought that possibly other than pac khan is def the worst style match up for floyd as anyone else with eyes has probably also noticed....
