Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Floyd Mayweather Bout is Three Fights Away

[Chaos]

Also, I'm pretty sure the reason he keeps talking about Floyd is because the media keeps asking him about it. He's very popular right now so he's getting interviewed a lot but we only hear the one snippet where he's asked about Floyd so people think that's all he talks about.

Didnt he say that he and roach wanted the fight already and it was just up to mayweather to agree

They're hinting the vacation man fights once or less in a year.

If Manny doesnt fight Floyd next and then Khan steps in there than I think everyone should know how much of an ass Bob Arum really is. Id wanna be a GB fighter.

People should wait to see how he performs in his next three fights before deciding if he'll be ready for Floyd. At his weight class, having his speed/reach is like a heavyweight having a punch, it means he'll definitely have a chance. Whether the skills are there remains to be seen over the next few fights. Having speed/reach advantage might not be enough at this point but if he waits too long then Floyd will be old enough that a win wouldn't mean as much. Remember, if Shane could catch him twice then it means either he's not as good as before, or someone fast enough can catch him, so anything is possible.

And how many times did he catch him after that "1" time in the next 10 rounds ?

U stand there and dont move much, you're going to get tagged

He actually caught him twice in that round but the point is that if he can get caught by Shane, who isn't as fast as Khan, then it means either he's slowed down or maybe just hasn't fought anyone as fast as himself. Hopefully it's not due to age cause I prefer to see these guys fight each other when they're in top form or at least pretty close to it, not when they're on the decline. No one wants to see Pac/Khan-Floyd when they're not at the top of their game cause it just leaves people with more questions/excuses about what could have been (like Calzaghe-RJJ).

How is Bob Arum being an ass if it's clearly GBP promising Khan a Floyd fight a year in advance, they already have a verbal agreement according to Amir.

And why hasn't Floyd or GBP commented on Arum announcing publicly that testing is no longer an excuse for 'vacations'? Oh, except DLH who will say he was high or twitter misquoted him.

They know they have to cook up some new schemes to get out of this one and flee to the UK for Khan. Look for lots of talk about taxes, trials, and tuneups being the reason they can't fight Pacquiao. I call it the 3 ts of ducking, used to be 4 with testing.

[Outworn]

If Khan wants to test himself before fighting Floyd, I say he really have to fight Mike Jones at welterweight. If he can't beat Jones then he has no business fighting Floyd other than just making money for them both.

I really want to see Khan fight Bradley, Jones, Maidana/Guerrero winner and Prescott 2 before Floyd.

[NachoMan]

If these two do eventually fight, I'd fear for Mayweather’s safety -- Khan just brutally destroys him inside 6 rounds.

Outclassed in every department; speed, power, skills, everything..

You didn't try at all to disguise this bait post, did you?

whats he been smokin

@Chaos, Khan hits nowhere near the power of Shane.
