Comments Thread For: De La Hoya Eyes Mayweather vs. Khan Clash in 2011

[Lorily]

Khan would have success early cause of his jab, long range Boxing, speed, but Mayweather would do one of two things to adapt to him, either use more movement to offset his jab, or he would edge his way closer to Khan, use the angles to try and draw leads that he could slip inside and counter, which is the kinda thing that would make Amir reluctant to use the jab as consistently through fear of getting countered.

I dont think Khan is very adept at fighting from mid range, and I think Mayweather would exploit that by using his superior understanding of angles/mid range, he would eventually start to negate Khan's long range game with that strategy imo.

Good post, I agree. Kahn has amazing speed however against better, faster and more well conditioned competition I believe he will be more reluctant to throw as many punches and his speed will not be as much of a factor as it was against Maidana and Malignaggi.

Personally, I'd like to see Kahn against someone like JMM. Judah is not a step up in competition IMO. I'd like to see how Kahn fares against a great counter puncher like JMM, someone who is also relentless and very skilled. I think JMMs counter punching abilities will make Kahn hestitant to throw as much and would negate some of his speed. But I have the feeling with Kahns success against Maidana, that if Team Kahn was difficult to negotioate with before, it's going to be even worse now. I can almost hear JMM "priced himself out" - even before negotiations begin. I even believe there's a possiblitly that a lot of fights in the future that should be made (Bradley for instance) might not ever happen because of disputes in money. Kahn was already trying to dictate who should make what $$, and I'm of the belief that we probably wouldn't have even seen this past weekends fight against Maidana had he not been Kahns mandatory and being forced in to a purse bid. I wouldn't even be surprised if there were problems negotiating a fight with Team Mayweather, with Team Kahn insisting on a 50-50 split.

What I mean is it's basically the same scenario. A young lion being thrown to the wolves. We all saw what happened to Vargas in the later part of his career. Also, what happens if Floyd knocks out Khan? Khan and GBP have a huge potential star here and they need to build him up properly. Give him more fights on HBO and let him build up his resume and get his name out there. The kid has alot of talent and he's still a prospect IMO and he needs to be treated like one.

100% right.....one thing is being brave, other thing is being ****** !!

I can't believe Judah is being considered for April...Why not the winner or loser of Bradley/Alexander? What about a Maidana rematch instead...But, Judah? I would take even Urango over Judah

Have Judah fight somebody like Kizer Mabuza. And, if Judah can beat Mabuza(which I'm not sure he can BTW) then consider him, until then no.

When will this guy just go away for good?

word, i rather watch Khan fight Joan Guzman instead of Zab "im only in shape for 4 rounds" Judah

Now im really suspecting that GBP is going downstream. Theyre baiting Mayweather out for a big pay fight but not that credible

[Roja's480]

EASY fight for Khan. Mayweather is too old and too slow. Mismatch really, i’d give Khan every round of this fight.

your mom laughing at your comment

I been saying this fight would happen.

GBP is going to try and milk Khan and Alvarez in fights with Floyd before either of them lose or Floyd retires for good.

Still think Williams beats him ? Lol

two runners who will run all night to a boring ass ud. If given a choice nobody in their right ****ing mind would watch these two putos. Boxing needs real warriors like Margarito, Morales and Rios. Not ******* like mayflower, dirrell, ward, dawson, etc.

*** Margacheater he is no warrior! He's a **** that has been exposed to the world, after his brass knuckles were taken away he punches like a girl, he has suffered a brutal knockout where Mosley took his manhood, a boring sloppy decision against a taxi driver and a brutal beating against Pac. So he's like 1-2 after his tainted victory against Cotto.

[twosweethooks]

My two cents is :

Roach needs two or three good fights with Bradley, Alexander and Marquez.

My assessment of Khan is that he needs to "Tighten" up his footwork.

He needs to QUIT mirroring Pacman with the upper cut thang. Khan clearly is a fan of Pacman.

When he gets that footwork working like Pac or DONAIRE, with that blinding hand speed and quits wasting energy bouncing around the ring like a POGO stick on steriods, then he will be a force to RECKON WITH.

He is so young and in the best of hands, this will come about.

I hope chickenweather who's on vacation will get thru his court dealings and still have the fire to fight, and take a tuneup with Khan in the Fall of 2011 and get ready for ......................................... permanent retirement cause as the old timers say, he's gonna get SHELLACKED !!

Mayweather just thought he knew speeeeeeeeedddd,,, he won't see the missles coming at his bald pate and he won't be able to cope with the in and out, much less get time to counter. Face it *****S yer man is about done and gone.

All Roach needs to do is get this boy tightened up and YALL ere whupped real gooooooooooooooooooooodddddddd !!!!!!!

I am not saying all that..

Judah might be "im only in shape for 4 rounds" Judah. But, Guzman is "I will never make weight" Guzman...

Khan should not fighter neither one.

Judah and Guzman can fight each other off TV or maybe a FNF's undercard fight...Not even main event material.
