Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Amir Khan.

Khan avoided getting knocked out by Maidana and was handling Canelo's power for the first 6 rounds before being flattened by the mother of all right hands. Therefore, I don't think it's a huge stretch to say that prime Khan (pre-Canelo/Crawford etc) could've taken Brook's best shots plus he had the speed advantage back then so wouldn't have been tagged as often as when they finally fought.
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.Comment

Khan has a worse chin, squares up too much, can’t fight moving backwards, has clunky footwork, poor upper body coordination and throws all his punches at the same speed. He had zero for Floyd. Danny and Prescott stopped him, Floyd would’ve done so as well.Comment

Who in the **** cares who brought in more fans. Amir Khan had nothing for Floyd at all. He couldn’t handle any of those elite boxers. Khan won like one poll out of several. I was out of school by 2014. I first got into high school back in 2001. So add it upComment

It's crazy how this topic is brought up just because Khan is fast. Why do we act like Floyd has never dealt with speed? Pacquiao is fast, probably faster than Khan. Floyd beat him pretty easy.Comment

Nobody knows who would win and Floyd could have made a fight with Khan, but Khan wasn't another slow short armed flat footed come forward fighter that will have the Floyd Boys googleeyed. He definitely had enough speed skill and heart to make it a long night for a powder puff punching ww like Mayweather.
Khan actually brought more money to the table so the reward was high but so was the risk above 40% you know Floyd don't take those type risks.Last edited by djtmal; 01-21-2024, 05:06 PM.Comment
