Comments Thread For: Roach: Floyd Mayweather vs Amir Khan Would Be Great

[Squirrel]

If they fought today it'd resemble the Judah fight but with slight differences.

Judah had speed, counterpunching, southpaw stance, and overall athleticism on his side.

Khan will have speed (less than Judah), reach, and height on his side.

I think Floyd figures out the latter quicker, and takes Khan out in the middle rounds. He could take him out in half that if he came out like he did with Shane and stood his ground.

You can only ANSWER how well khan would do against Mayweather after he has cleaned out the 140 division. It's obvious after every camp Khan improves drastically, so you can't say todays amir khan will be close to the unified champ khan...

So we'd get the answer to how well Khan would do against the p4p number 1 after he cleans out the division BELOW where hte aforementioned guy operates?

I think a more conclusive answer of how well he would do would be about 10 seconds after their fight concludes.

And pretty bold language youre using there.

Malignaggi is a toned-down version of Floyd. If you can't do a KO in the early rounds with Paulie, don't even talk about fighting Mayweather.

It would be interesting to see this fight, though.

if khan fights mayweather tommorow, hes gonna lose, dont get me wrong, bradley, alexander, ortiz all get ****d by fmj right now...however, after 2-3 years hmmm, then mayweathers got no chance in hell of beating khan or even alexander, he'll retire by then im sure he wudnt want to be used as a stepping stone for a young fighter, infact cmon fmj is so concerned abt his ******ity he never fought a prime fighter in his life and scared to death of the pacmonster so him fighting a young upcoming in his prime fighter hahah dream on bitches

If this could happen in the next year and a half, and Khan proves he deserves it obviously, I would love to see it. Khan is big, fast, and will continue to improve. After 140 settles, that would be interesting.

That is horribly ignorant. Paulie fights nothing like Floyd, and is very, very tough. No one knocks Malignaggi out in the early rounds.

Yeah I would see it being simular to the Judah fight but to be honest. Khan doesnt have as good as handspeed as Judah or as good power as Judah. And he has chin issues so it would be hard to see him beating Floyd.

Id take Mayweather by stoppage in the mid to late rounds.

we all know Roach'es tricks by now, he just waiting for the right moment, when Mayweather is not the same he is going to try and make the fight happened. ****, can there be any fairness in this ****ing sport???

Question is, can he handle 140 without getting KO?

Please, don't be a fool. The idea is that you don't beat Mayweather by UD. Beating him by KO is your only option. The test for Khan has already been presented, which is a lighter version of Floyd.

You've seen this reinforced weeks ago. A Mosley that didn't gass out prematurely would have beaten Floyd. Meaning, Khan has to have Pac's skills to beat a guy like Floyd.
