Amir Khan Vs Floyd Mayweather : 1 sided or not?

[TheIcon]

I believe floyd would absolutely destroy Amir Khan, who suggested he would like to take this fight in the future, if it did happen would it be a 1 sided fight or would it be even?

If Khan's next two fights are wins, then he has the best chance of beating Floyd since Castillo. Otherwise he has no chance.

Well khan will at least put up a better fight than many of PBFs opponents. SO not one sided, but interesting for the whole 12 rounds.

There nothing Khan does, to expose anything from mayweather. Mayweather would roll him from the beginning possible knock out

[Fix]

at this point khan wins a few rounds but mayweather beats him.. it's not a one-sided fight but floyd wins. probably 8-4.

khan goes in straight lines too much, he needs lateral movement and head movement to beat mayweather. plus a better inside game. he could use his height to his advantage. his jab is already good enough to give mayweather problems but the rest of his game doesnt match up yet.

khan should get pernell whitaker to teach him some better defense and movement. if khan had half of whitaker's defensive skill it's a 50/50 fight.

Good points. He has all the natural ability, but he needs to learn a lot more defence wise.

[Jeff Da Maori]

I see it going down pretty similar to Judah vs Mayweather. Khan has enough speed and power to keep Floyd guessing for a few rounds, but nowhere near enough defensive skills and ring smarts to get the W.

[Uturn]

Voted for Khan by accident (rofl).

Mayweather would absolutely pick him apart and annihilate him every round.

Agreed. And that's why i wonder if Roach is the best trainer for him at this point in his career. Roach's style is really tailored around effective aggression, Khan can do that well up to a point but having better defense would suit him more I think. Not saying he should get rid of Roach, i just think he should hire Whitaker as a co-trainer or just a tutor on the side or something. He could really do with some better movement and angles, especially if he's going up against Mayweather. Roach can't really improve his defense much further, even though it is much better than it used to be, it could still be improved.

[yuppie]

Kahn is a sloppy fighter at times and he really doesnt have any power of LW let alone at welter.
