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

[thack]

This must have been written by Khan himself. This is much too ridiculous to even consider but he can't get away with this. Amir Khan was a boxer with fast hands and feet and a slow brain and ****y chin , Floyd had it all , absolutely no comparison . Khans best win was the slow but green hard hitting Maidana who by the time fought Floyd knew what the game was about. Floyd was the top Welterweight of his time and beat all comers. Khan has never beaten a top flight welterweight or any one above. After Prescott knocked him senseless in 54 seconds he was brought back with a chain of hand picked hospital cases and was well matched thereafter, please tell me when comparing him to the great welterweight who did Khan actually beat? he was knocked out at lightweight, knocked out at light welterweight , knocked out at welterweight and they even invented a division of 155 for him to be knocked out in .........ridiculous article.

Floyd would have KO'd khan like any fast aggressive (but low-IQ) boxer-puncher coming forward.

This is a humiliating article.

Look, "what if" articles are fun and meant to stir debates. Nothing wrong with them. The more controversial, the better.


But come on.... they have to be routed in some kind of realism.

Yes, this one is so ridiculous it must surely have been written as some sort of spoof?

The Judah Floyd fought would have stopped Khan, that was the best version of Judah to ever step into a ring, what a ****** comparison this writer made , there was 5 yrs between Floyds Judahs and Khans version.

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.

Bullshyt.

He's blaming Mayweather for the Khan fight never happening, and rightfully so.

This is 100% on Floyd.

Damn, someone needs to invent a device that let's people unread stuff. I'm having a hard time believing that someone who got punched out by Lamont Peterson and Danny Garcia could beat someone like Floyd lol

Khan is fast, yeah. But, his IQ is way too low. Any and every trap that Floyd sets up, Amir will gladly walk into. Floyd could probably set the same trap two times in a row, and Amir will fall for them both times lol this ain't the guy to do it chief

Full respect to Amir though, dont want to undermine him completely. I enjoyed plenty of his fights, he was pretty tough given his obvious flaws

Timing beats speed…

In all fairness, Khan got robbed against Pederson, who was also roided to the gills in that fight and tested positive afterwards.

PEDerson also had a crooked referee on his payroll who deducted points from Khan for pushing (wtf)

That been said, even if Khan had little chance against Floyd, there's still the fact that Floyd ducked Khan

Floyd himself posted a poll on twitter to allow the fans to choose his next opponent, the two choices being Khan and Maidana (part of Floyd's shenanigans to keep ducking Pacquiao at the time)

Khan won the poll by a landslide, but Floyd still picked Maidana. FLOYD DUCKED KHAN TO FIGHT MAIDANA INSTEAD

So obviously he wasn't as confident on beating Khan as his fans are.

Khangaroo speed worried Floyd, so slow ass Maidana was more to his liking

If Khan can get timed and countered by Brook, Garcia, Canelo and others besides, Mayweather would have had little difficulty. Sure, Khan's speed might have posed him some issues in the early stages but if you can't see that pretty much any version of Khan would ultimately have been easy pickings for Floyd's check hook and pull counter then you don't actually know either fighter that well, or you're just plain delusional. Khan would clearly lose, and would probably be put on his ass more than once or even knocked out. This is one of the worst articles that Fitzsimmons has published on here and that's saying a lot.

Im a khan fan, but you are off your head thinking he would have beat maywether at any point, the guy went life and death against a domestic rival willie limond who was no more then a glorified gatekeeper. That amateur style he could never shake off was his problem and Mayweather would have easily solved the problem after the 3rd round.
