Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: My best was enough to defeat Mayweather and Pacquiao

[dannnnn]

The difference between round 1 Amir Khan and round 4-5 onwards Amir Khan was so incredible it ought to be studied. He would blitz guys early, dropping (Maidana) or even stopping guys who were not accustomed to being hit that cleanly, that early. It wasn't even power, it was pure speed. Then the instant his speed started waning a touch he immediately became 1000% more beatable, going from piecing up someone like Danny Garcia to going tit-for-tat with Oisin ***an.

It's not like he was dog-tired or anything after a few rounds either. It's just losing that little bit of speed and crispness completely derailed him and brought his many flaws to the immediate forefront. Floyd would have given away 2-3 rounds then dominated. Pacquiao would have put Khan away in an exchange, possibly early. No way that biscuit chin lasts twelve against Pac's left hand.

Your best was able to best maidana which is a good win considering you got reputation for a weak jaw and maid ana was supposedly a hard puncher?
I have my doubts about how hard a hitter maid ana was, but his aggression was a problem

are south asians usually this delusional?
im noticing a pattern

[Smash]

if this were the case all boxers with a few good wins would believe they could defeat far more successful and accomplished boxers than themselves if they had the days they had their best wins on

If there is a delusional section in the HOF

This is the same moron that believes 5g caused covid.
The same moron that is still suffering the effects of the Prescott knockout.
The same moron that got popped for peds.
The same moron that got punched in the outer thigh by Bud & dived calling a nut shot.
The same moron that built a crystal palace wedding venue overlooking a scrap dealer.

I could go on, but that would be bullying the mentally impaired.

Salma Hayek I can understand (will never forget the boner I got watching her dance in From Dusk Till Dawn) but why the fuck would you want to bang Penelope Cruz?

She looks like Amir Khan in a wig!

Stylistically at his best, Amir Khan would have been one of the few fighters 'who could legitimately win rounds vs Floyd Mayweather Junior consistently. But I still don't think he would have been able to maintain that level of boxing, for an entire 12 round fight'.

Note: When Amir Khan fought Canelo Alvarez at his absolute peak 'Alvarez really had no answer for the operational speed, and boxing ability of Khan. Up until the knockout, Canelo Alvarez in my opinion was being well beaten in the fight'.

Canelo Alvarez was aware that Khan's speed, movement, and gears were all just too much for him 'therefore being the wise and experience fighter that he was. He knew that he needed to accumulate data in Amir Khan's boxing moves, and then time an offensive punch. With the ambition of decking or seriously hurting Khan'.

Basically that is a really technical way of stating 'that Canelo Alvarez a few rounds into his fight vs Amir Khan, understood that he only had a punchers chance in order to win the fight. Alvarez was unable to out speed, or score consistent points on Amir Khan. But it was Alvarez ability to not react but anticipate moves which enable him to land the damaging power punch on Amir Khan'.

One of Amir Khan's flaws as a fighter, was that he would always at some stage in the fight 'produce a series of unforced errors and technical mistakes. Very similar to Tyson Fury, both of those fighters can produce near impeccable form for a number of rounds. But in a distance fight? There would always been stages in the fight, were they would produce unforced errors and technical mistakes. It was almost inevitable with Amir Khan and Tyson Fury, that there would be a technical calamity in most of their fights'.

And this is what Canelo Alvarez from experience became aware of, and just waited for his opportunity to attack 'a part from that Amir Khan skill for skill and at his best, in my opinion had the ability to out box Alvarez in a distance fight'.

To conclude: Amir Khan stylistically as I have stated at the beginning of my post 'would have had the ability in my opinion to win rounds vs both Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao. But at some point they are just going to take over the fight, and ether knock him out or win on points over the distance'.

I don't think any modern day fighter, can expect to beat Floyd Mayweather Junior or Manny Pacquiao if they are prone to making unforced errors and technical mistakes 'no matter how much speed, and technical ability they have'.

Out of Floyd Mayweather Junior and Manny Pacquiao 'I would have rated Mayweather had a more difficult challenge for Amir Khan' etc.
