Comments Thread For: Khan's Painful Exit Forever Buries The Mayweather Blueprint

[Roadblock]

Khan would have been lucky to take 2 rounds from Floyd, Amir is nothing more than a jabber runner his style is all amateurish, which is why he was quick, a flick jab won't keep the top guys off for 12 rounds they are all going to catch him because he can't keep it up for more than a few rounds, and that's why he failed whenever he met an elite level fighter, Khan could not have beaten Mosley Cotto Oscar Manny Crawford Spence Porter let alone beat Mayweather at his own game, I believe they all would have stopped him.

khan was never good at ww, he even should have lost to algeiri but his "look im tricking you into thinking im doing something" style got him the win over algeiris much cleaner punches

Fitzsimmons writes junk articles, like this one..

[fightfanjoe]

Wtf did I just read?

[Haka]

Na Khan would have stand no chance, he does not have the smarts Mayweather has in the boxing ring.

Khan had a good run and lost his chin years ago he needs to retire now JMHO!

[Johnwoo8686]

This guy honestly tried to blame Mayweather for Khan's shortcomings. That is utterly ridiculous. Khan has lost to lesser fighters than Floyd repeatedly throughout his career. There is no evidence to suggest Khan would have beaten him.

lmao, khan is literally the only B level guy of the last 10 years i would favor mayweather to stop.

and what does judah mean as a common opponent, there were 5 years between judahs fights with mayweather and khan.

With Khan's chin, he'd get wobbled by Floyd's straight right or left hook. Floyd would time him all night.

Mayweather's accuracy would certainly put khan on bambi legs. look at really any of his fights 140-154 the shots he landed on guys like hatton, cotto, mosley ect. khan doesnt survive those.

In the last 10 years khan only beat one guy, julio diaz, who has a higher KO percentage than mayweather. every other guy khan actually beat in the last 10 years actually has a lower KO percentage than mayweather, hand picked soft punchers because his managers know khan has pure china.

This article is laughable.
im an Englishman and supported khan during the Olympic Games where he won silver but the second he turned pro and made ridiculous demands
before entering the ring, it showed the direction he was looking.
”mayweather blueprint” what??? Tell us your joking!?

ets have some more facts you missed,
pacman: as quick as khan if not quicker, threw big power shots (singular) with ko power against bigger men and could absorb big shots.
de la Hoya: seemingly on the tail end of his career was also very quick, could box and had power.
judah: was finished before he fought khan.
marquez: Floyd put probably the most skilled Mexican counter puncher on his back side and took an easy ride to victory.
Mosley: incredibly quick with much more power and beautiful boxing skills got beaten by Floyd.
the late great comeback kid, Diego “chico” corralles was tall, quick, had power, could take one and Floyd served him his first loss putting him on his back side atleast 6 times.
Canelo: 42/0 at the time so nobody can tell me he couldn’t do this game, soundly made to look amateur.(and that’s being kind)
cotto: I had Miguel doing far better than the scorecard suggested, he actually gave Floyd what I think was his first nosebleed!!
”the maulers” Ricky Hatton,baldomir,Castillo,maidana all lost.
more more and more champs he beat and never lost so my question is,
taking into account the complete set plus more shown above, where would khan figure in any of that to provide Floyd with a loss.
it’s utterly ridiculous to even consider it OR have considered khan as any kind of threat at ANY time.
kell did what we here in England KNEW he would have done at anytime and the frustration was khant knew it too.

Good points - all of them. Fitzsimmons is probably just sore he lost $100 on Khan this past weekend. Khan might have troubled Mayweather for a few rounds but his 2 biggest weaknesses were poor ring IQ and poor defence - Floyd would have figured him out after 3-4 rounds and have won all the rounds from then onwards.
