Comments Thread For: Hatton: Khan Has The Style To Give Mayweather Problems

[-Lowkey-]

Ricky is correct Khan stylistically can cause Mayweather trouble Khan has a better style to beat Mayweather than Pacquiao does tall rangy fast hands, feet great jab. It amazes me how so called fans of the sport can’t see this I’m not saying Khan would beat Mayweather he wouldn’t not at this point or in the foreseeable future he doesn’t have the intangibles along with other things.

But Khan definitely could cause problems I always said a guy like Vernon Forest could give Floyd trouble and maybe beat him again tall rangy solid Jab that is what can beat Floyd not these little aggressive guys hell even old Oscar was taking early rounds through using his jab and causing him problems.

Add khan to the list of "He will give mayweather problems". Ok..He enjoys roughly a 2" height adv..The reach is even..He has quick hands and feet as well (As does floyd). However, I doubt he possesses the overall boxing skill or ring IQ to pose any real threat to mayweather, jr. Nor do I feel he could sustain any prolonged sort of advantage over the course of a 12 rd bout which is the determining factor. Everybody is a threat until he uses that boxing acumen and ability to make in fight adjustments (which is the main attribute that makes him truly elite). Hatton was a threat 'til he roughed up the 'ruffneck' and checked him with that hook. Shane was a threat 'til that 2nd rd woke him up and mayweather won every rd thereafter. Zab was threat 'til he fig'd him out around rd 4..5 then most likely wouldve tko'd him if not for a riot inciting low blow. De la hoya was a threat until his puzzle was solved ("Oh, he stopped throwing the jab"..Well, ask yourself why did he opt to stop throwing what in many folks opinion couldve won him that fight..Bc he starting paying dearly every time he threw it. All you need is a little incentive to make you think before you leave yourself open for a counter). So let the next "threat" take his place in the ring be it...Pac or Khan..Because let's face it...One of them will get the opportunity sooner than later since 'money' doesnt have too many other options that are gonna generate any sort of attention craving buzz at this pt. Matter fact, he & manny are running outta viable contenders that can generate 30...40 mil worth of income for themselves. I think manny & floyd should get it on..The winner can tangle with khan (provided he remains undefeated and makes a successful debut at welter)..Then they can all go about their business.

khan has the style to give mayweather problems for 3 rounds, 4 tops. the problem with khan is that the instincts don't seem to be there, and he's rather one paced; take him out of his element, as floyd surely would, and he's done for. mayweather would walk him down and dismantle him on the inside.

What a joke! Khan can't even beat Breidas Prescott; he got melted in one round, remember?

Next, all you punks who say Floyd ducked Pac, Cotto, and Margo simply don't know boxing. Tell me, what made those guys qualified to fight Floyd? What did they do to force a fight? I know, Cotto got beat by Margo, and Margo got beat by Shane.

Funny, but Cotto and Margo aren't calling out Floyd anymore. And now Pac is running from Floyd.

Finally, I'm 47 years old and have called out both Klicthos. Are they running from me? My mom is 85 and calls out Pacman after every fight and he refuses to fight her. That just shows you, Pac is running from my mom. What a little *****.

hahahahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahaaa your moms age is right for a pac fight. but the fact that your mom is a great boxer and has superb hand and foot speed great lateral movement and is a boxer/counter puncher means that fight will never happen. also the sport books in vegas has your mom as a 9-1 fav over pac
