Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Amir Khan.

[HisExcellency]

Floyd would simply outbox or stop Khan because he was a top p4p ELITE fighter at his peak whereas Khan was simply just a world class fighter but not p4p material. In these sorts of instances, the elite fighter will always win 99 times out of 100.

Case closed.

However, I think Khan missed a BIG opportunity to become a 2 weight world champion when he decided to climb 2 weight divisions and got his lights shut off (and career shortened) by Canelo when he should've just fought newly crowned Welterweight champion Brook instead. Khan was boxing beautifully under Hunter and had put together some impressive displays against the likes of Algieri, Collazo + Alexander and it would've been a genuine 50-50 fight.

Khan was terrified of Brook and would have got stopped by Kell at anytime they fought didn't matter who trained who, Kell knew it and so did Khan, Algeri Collazo and Alexander were B+ A- grade fighters. Khan was a front runner he was fast because he had nothing on them and wanted to be as fast and gone as he could be he knew he was chinney and fought that way, that's why he stole early rounds, then as the pace slows a little they start to time him and it all over.

Disagree...Khan got stopped on his feet in his final fight against Brook and didn't go down once in the fight. Therefore, I think that prime Amir (pre-Canelo/Crawford stoppages) would've been able to handle Brook's power and potentially boxed circles round him. Still, it would've been a 50-50 pick 'em fight.

considering that canelo was timing and countering khan and canelo is slower than floyd, i think floyd will have an easy time.

khan could win a few of the first rounds then its over. floyd may even knock him out which hes like the only guy above 147 in that era that i give a "likely" chance for floyd to knock out.

khan has fast hands but his defense betrays him. he used to always have heart and go out on his shield, which was his saving grace for fans then he quit vs crawford.

Let's settle this once and for all: Who would have won?

I got Floyd. Khan's chin is usually considered his biggest flaw, but it's actually his ring IQ. There's no nice way to say it: Khan was a DUMB fighter. There's a reason he came up short every time he fought someone who wasn't either past it or featherfisted, other than the Maidana fight. And Khan's footwork ******. Maidana, who isn't known for his footwork, was able to catch up to him. Even Algieri, who couldn't escape from an aging Pacquiao, had no trouble catching up to Khan.

- - Obviously Khan whoops him which is the reason l'l floydy ducked him as l'l floydy did to Manny until he could get his guaranteed 2 week backdated TUE and scorecard alterations guarantee.

so what, if ref didnt stop it then what is next, his corner stops it, khan quits or brook sparks him clean out.

2 busted orbital bones a long career you are not going to get a more shot Brook and Khan was still scared of him, Brook tried to make the fight for years and Khan wanted nothing to do with Kell, I think at any time Brook would have stopped Khan just too rugged and punches to hard for the brittle Khan.

[anonymous2.0]

I think the stage would've gotten to Khan. A massive high profile fight would make him bleed energy. Add on top of that Floyd not getting flustered I think would mentally wear down Khan. I think Khan would win the first 2, maybe 3 rounds as Floyd experiments with what to do, Floyd takes over, and Khan picks up another round late only because Floyd would take that round off. 8-4 win Floyd barring any knockdowns.

Who wants to see two old hasbeens fight

[The Big Dunn]

Barrera was old says the Floyd fan...he was 35when he fought khan. Manny was 36 when Floyd fought him...Marquez was 36...Mosley 39 etc...don't even realize you fell into the trap. Based on your own argument you should be criticizing floyd...yet you stan him. Khan is a bum obviously. Ya walked right into it

Barrera had been retired for 2 years. Manny and JMM hadn’t retired. Don’t forget the facts daggum.
