Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Peterson First, Floyd Mayweather in 2013

[jmoney123]

Khan is basing his entire career off of beating Floyd mayweather, Khan is a fool and he is making himself look ridiculous, he needs to focus on becoming a better fighter because as of right now he is a B- fighter at best. If he tries to take on the elite of the sport he will get destroyed. His problem is he is a victim of his own hype

Hahaha....firs the said he'd be ready to fight Floyd at any time. Than he took that back, said he'd be ready in 2-3 fights or so, which would be late 2012. Now, he's saying not until 2013, probably 4-5 fights from now. What will it be next, not until 2014 or 2015 when Floyd is 37 and 38???

After seeing Khan struggle Maidana and Peterson, I am not sure Khan gets past Berto or Ortiz. Though they'd all be great fights. Amir, fight Peterson again in March 2012, than fight the Berto-Ortiz II winner in July, and I guarantee you that you'd get a Floyd fight in late 2012.

Oh for sure Khan doesn't beat Ortiz or Berto. I've been saying for a few years now that, no matter how much Khan likes to brag about his couple of victories over Ortiz in the amateurs, Ortiz is just too big, strong, fast and vicious for Khan in a pro fight.

Khan is gonna duck both of those fighters moving up to 147.

This is what's going to happen. He's gonna finish whatever business he has 140 in this next year. When he moves up he's going to look to fight Matthew Hatton or some feather fisted puncher Like Devon Alexander or a rematch with Paulie Malignaggi. You know, just to test his 'power' at the weight. When that's done, and providing Floyd isn't busy still trying to negotiate a mega fight with Pac, or retired, the two will likely get it on. And if Floyd's abilities haven't dropped off too much at that point, Khan gets starched in less than 5 rounds.

This ****** talk of "Khan being the man to beat Mayweather" before the Peterson fight was silly enough. Doing so now is just plan ******. It's like Hatton all over again. BUT......

At least Hatton:

a) Had got the top of his division.
b) Was Ring champion at in his division
c) Had a win over a top, top opponent (Tzsyu)
d) Had at least dipped his toe in the 147lb division.
e) Was a huge draw UK-side with a big fanbase.

Whereas Khan........... well, um......

Don't get me wrong, Khan is talented but he has done none of those things yet thinks his worthy of such a fight. Win your rematch, get a big win at 147lbs and don't even mention Mayweather until you do. The cheek of it. Saying Mayweather is scared of him then totally failing to handle his business.

The Peterson camp should look for other options, the Khan rematch will always be there. Hey Khan you don't run ****, Peterson's calling the shots.

Amir khan is a bum

Khan is unbelievably over rated and whether you like Mayweather or not any true boxing fan has to admit that he would destroy Amir Khan.
Khan needs to prove himself at welterweight before even thinking about getting in the ring with Floyd, if it had been Ortiz teeing off on Khan like Peterson did the other night he would have been on his ass no doubt

[arraamis]

first of all people been calling Khan overrated before saturday, and Ortiz got the Floyd fight cuz he beat an elite welter in his prime in Berto in a fight of the year at that, so he earned the shot. beating Maidana and Judah doesnt even give Khan the right to dream about Floyd, he overlooked Peterson thinking it would be easy, got beat,. now hes overlooking him again before the rematch is even official, the dude is delusional and that would be his downfall, his mouth runs too much while his ring performances are mediocre amateur displays.

Khan is basing his entire career off of beating Floyd mayweather, Khan is a fool and he is making himself look ridiculous, he needs to focus on becoming a better fighter because as of right now he is a B- fighter at best. If he tries to take on the elite of the sport he will get destroyed. His problem is he is a victim of his own hype

Two very good posts .... gotta break out the green for these guys.

Sorry khan, even tho I had you winning by 2 points, you showed too many weaknesses:
1. Your too reckless and sloppy specially on the early going, not every opponent can be kod in the first three.rds
2. You cant box, cant just rely on running backwards cause eventually youll get cornered.
3. You have no answer when fighting in the inside, completly helpless.
4. great hand speed but but you tend to lean forward and even tend to lose balance, leaves you open for any good counter puncher to knock you down over and over.
After struggling with B class fighter its obvious your far from being and elite
