Amir Khan has a little bit of a Floyd Mayweather thing going

[PH|L]

in terms of being the guy that people watch because they want to see him lose. He is ****y, confident. He trash talks (not on Floyd's level but those twitter messages after Froch lost were hilarious). He says he is better than he really is. I think he's already said how he wants to fight Mayweather and how he's gonna be the next Pacquiao. Some people like him, and some people hate him. But one thing for sure is that he sure gets alot of hype. Probably more than his accomplishments warrant him. He's not at all like Mayweather in terms of their fighting game but in terms of the way they are marketed there's some things in common.

I think GBP is building a new bad guy.

Khan ain't a bad guy nor does his personality come off that way.

People want to see him KO'd just off GP. At least with Floyd, it's mainly because they want someone to finally beat him. Khan's been beat severely and it was during a time where he was heavily hyped.

But I dont think GBP is going to promote him in anyway to make him look like a bad guy because his demeanor doesn't fit the mold. I think he'll win some and lose some along the way.

u mean paulie?

His personality is nothing like Mayweather's.

Watch Floyd's first 23 fights and Khan's first 23 fights then try and type that post with a straight face.

A DISGRACE TO BOXING. Comparing Floyd and Khan is a joke.

Floyd Mayweather Jr + Manny Pacquiao = Amir Khan.

I very well see what you mean. For a while, it been clear to me that Amir Khan has great potential in being a heel in boxing. People hate him with a passion when he isn't tring to earn it, so just imagine if he purposely garnered it. Floyd's act is becoming stale, but if Amir proves to be elite, he could pick up the slack.

Floyd Mayweather Jr + Manny Pacquiao = Amir Khan.

Yer. You are right. A loud mouthed ducker who gets KTFO a few times in his first 24 fights. That's where the similarities end though.

Amir Khan is nothing like Floyd Mayweather, he has no personnality and got KOed. Floyd was world champ one year after he became pro and was already fighting real champs like Gennaro and young P4P boxers in their prime like Corrales.

Floyd Mayweather Jr + Manny Pacquiao = Amir Khan.

No.....
