I stated before this fight that Amir Khan can beat Floyd Mayweather, and now i am almost certain that he can. Check the video tapes, he is probably faster than Mayweather in every single department on current form! he is a better combination puncher, with lightening speed.
For me Mayweather showed grit and toughness last night, but when we want to talk pound for pound skills...
"I did not see them"...
I saw a fighter who was being roughed up, hit to the body! And this is the professional game, body shots count guys!
At no point in the fight was Mayweather dominating Maidana, at no point in the fight did Maidana have that look confusion.
But if you go back to Amir Khan vs Marcus Maidana...........
"Maidana was confused, psychologically impeded by the speed and physical skills of Khan at times"....the first round alone of that fight shows flashes of the SPEEDFORCE within Amir Khan.....
I stated on previous threads of mine that Mayweather has to constantly reset, after his throwing his punches. Its always 1-2 reset, or if we are lucky 1-2-3 reset and then he will think! This has been a characteristic trait of his throughout his whole career. "Time" for Floyd Mayweather is like energy, if you give him time to think the odds are he will out maneuver you, set the right traps and watch you unfold........"He feeds off time, those times fighters are trying to be slick and stand off him"....its the biggest deception in boxing history! Mayweather needs time! He's not Roy Jones Junior who operated on a totally level of consciousness! Who was defensively and offensively better than Floyd Mayweather......
I don't think Floyd Mayweather has a great offense, not on the level of Roy Jones Junior which in a previous thread "I have a heated debate", which ended in me proving that yeh..........."I don't even need to say it".
Floyd Mayweather is a great fighter, and a great marketing man. In today's society marketing is the new art, a marketing campaign can ether make or break the product. Floyd Mayweather has drummed it up enough times that nobody has the blue print, nobody can crack the code............................
"And there are people out there who subconsciously believe this, these are the same kind of people who buy Iphones, same kind of people who buy into every latest trend, he is very clever and these people make up a large majority of his fanbase"...
Hardcore Floyd Mayweather fans deep down, you know last night was not a conclusive win, i saw a fighter who attempted to fight offensively! but could not do it!
I think Floyd Mayweather has backed himself into a corner, and severely underestimated his competition.
And now they are coming for him!!!
