To those who honestly think Mayweather is scared of Khan, tell me why? What does Khan bring to the table that previous opponents haven't / were meant to bring?
For real, because I am lost here.
Pac? Wasn't he the guy people were saying had equally, if not faster hands? Don't give me that ****. You can have all the speed in the world, means nothing if you haven't got the timing or range.
Yeah Manny 5 yrs ago maybe ..Either way Khan has enough hand speed to give Floyd some fits some not much
Ok so, Mayweather is afraid of Khan because he only has a one inch advantage over him? And because he's fast? So basically he has Mosley's attributes with a more fragile beard.
Yeah sounds terrifying.
When people talk about con...they talk about his glass jaw...and that bambi leg dance he does...then his speed and reach...
You'd think after he got KO'd by Prescott, stopped by Garcia, dropped by ancient Diaz, and struggled against Algieri, people would realize that he isn't anything special.
So he wasnt a better choice. Is that what you're saying? He chose berto because he earned the right to choose whomever? Ok so what If he chose Khan instead of Berto and why criticize Khan as a fighter and not Berto?
- Ok the title of the topic is "Why the hell would Floyd be scared of Khan? "
So what about Berto?, Berto is legit, he is a decent fighter who has heart. Is he as good as Khan? I dont know, maybe they should fight and see. I dont know what your trying to get at, maybe you should start a seperate thread....
Berto was who he chose to fight, better as in what? He had just fought the fight of the century..as they called it. He beat Pac, dont get me wrong Im not a Floyd fan boy, I just call it how i see it. He has the right to fight who ever he wants. And that goes for any boxer who is willing to step into the ring.

Floyd could have retired after the Pac fight.
So explain how Berto was the better choice.

- If he were to beat Khan..so what?..it dont mean anything. He has fought guys way above Khans level. Khan has fast hands, OK foot work..and guess what a weak chin, and he has not changed anything in his fighting style. Floyd would body him, and anyone with a good chin and power would do the same. Maidana had him in extremely bad shape, and Garcia just bodied him. Khan is getting desperate not to long ago he was calling out Cotto..Imagine that..Cotto would break this kid.
It's a myth that Hunter improved anything in Khan.
Khan wouldn't even be one of Floyd's 10 best wins.
The reason people think Floyd is afraid of Khan is because the majority of boxing fans are gullible.

Dont forget the azz whoopin he put on Devon Alexander :boxing:
Oh yeah, good win at the time. Alexander has become so forgettable though, I forgot to mention him.
Floyd is probably more worried about the backlash and the lack of credit he will get for beating such an unproven fighter at WW than Khan's supposed difficult style, that actually has only looked very good against Judah, Collazo and Molina.

Mayweather should have fought Khan instead of Berto, I figured wrong. I really thought he was going to select Khan cause of the following reasons;
Khan has a weak chin & has no pop in his punches (but he did impressively almost ko'd Maidana in the 1st rnd w/ a body shot) I honestly think Floyd could've drop Khan & maybe even stop him late in the late rounds...w/ IV of course:burnout:
Mayweather faced bigger and stronger punchers in Maidana and Canelo. He fought a prime DLH, a prime Pacquiao etc and people here still believe Money is scared of a lame duck like Khan? OMG'ness :rofl:
