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

[mathed]

I don't know sir, I've seen Mayweather get popped many times in the chin. If you recall even recent fights (although he doesn't fight often), he just smiles even though he might have gotten hurt. I'd say he has a pretty good chin. Mosley caught him, no doubt. But, I do think Mosley is stronger than you think, despite his age.

Absolutely right in regards to pressure. He's definitely not a big pressure fighter.

You're also right in saying that Mayweather is beatable. Noone has done it yet though, and I'm very doubtful that he's scared of Pac.

Personally, I think to beat Mayweather, and of course everyone has a way to beat Mayweather until they step in the ring, is by having someone who is faster than him and a serious counter puncher. For example, a Zab Judah that didn't get crappy after 4 rounds. Amir is simply not at that level, imho.
He won't take that fight with Khan though anyway.. not enough money.

You know what's going to be funny, if/when Mayweather fights Pacquiao, and if he gets a landslide win, it still won't be enough.

Mayweather gets hit but realistically it's like comparing 250 landed punches on a pretty good fighter to 70 punches landed on Mayweather. Mayweather rarely gets hit flush compared to other boxers. Sure, he smiled a bunch against JMM but Marquez had no power and was slow as a slug in that fight.

If Mayweather beat the tar out of Pac with ease, I'd say he is one of the best boxers of all time...top 5

I bet May vs Khan will be a more competitive fight than Mosley/Margo/Clottey vs Pacquiao

It would be great to see May in action against a good fast boxer but maybe in a year I mean Khan got tools

Manny Pacquiao = Greatest FIGHTER of this era
Floyd Mayweather Jr = Greatest BOXER of this era

I proudly prefer Pacquiao, but Mayweather skills....mmm !! That's something to love.

The only way Khan can ever beat Mayweather is if his reflexes slow down and even then it would be tough he is just too smart for all the guys at 140.

khan vs May

Alright so lets think about this. Khan vs PBF. In negotiations PBF is going to ask in the contract to fight at 147. He wont fight at 140. PBF will not be interested to reach a weight lower than his past fights. So Khan, as he is the hungry one, will accept the fight. Good training camp, Khan would look in the best shape of his life.. just like every boxer says. The key question of the fight would be. Can khan take a punch from a 147. Please lets not argue that if Khan can take a punch from Pacquiao in training then it should be just fine.. because we saw what Maidana can do at 140.

Yeah they are, but what they are doing is the opposite of being great. If theyre doing their business straight with no non-sense, they both can be the greatest and if they fight each other then the one who will emerge victorious will be the best of this era.

You're right but you have to realize that they're not the problem. Promoters are!!... At the end of the day, it's just business. Promoters want a lot of ca$$hh, with the lowest risk !!

But you're right !!
