    I think Khan is brilliant and faster than Mayweather from the outside, he just has no inside game and can't take pressure well. Not saying he definitely beats Mayweather but Khan right now is like a better version of Judah in some ways (though with less power) and Judah infamously gave Floyd some problems during the first half of their fight but then gassed out and mentally quit, which is something Khan doesn't do, at least not as bad as Judah.
    So as much as it's funny how bad Peterson owned Khan, I actually think that loss has very little relevance towards the outcome of a fight against Mayweather. I think Khan would still give Mayweather major problems and steal a lot of rounds on activity alone.

        Mayweather isn't a pressure fighter and doesn't have an inside game worth ****.


        You ever get tired of being so dumb and butthurt? Floyd beat Hatton on the inside and he beat Castillo inside the pocket too once he made the decision to go there. His inside game is worth ****??? Do you butthurt cry babies even watch his fights.....he was beating Hernandez inside when he was 21. He slapped Corley and Ndou down fighting inside. Floyd's inside game is better than anyone right now.......

        Whilst he isn't a pressure fighter, when he does pressure (Ortiz, SSM, Judah, Mitchell) he's still better at it than most, including Petersen.

          In the first four/five rounds Hatton is fresh, tries to make it an inside fight, Cortez pulls him off and separates them at every opportunity. This goes on round after round, he jumps in repeatedly and Hatton is forced to fight Mayweather's fight on the outside getting caught repeatedly as he comes in.

          After 7 or so rounds Cortez sees Mayweather is on top, Hatton is spent by this point and Cortez stops breaking them up and Floyd begins to hold his own on the inside. This is when Uncle toothless tells Floyd 'you don't got to run anymore' and this is where the myth of Mayweather being able to fight on the inside is created.

          After the fight a bunch of brainless *****s then claim Mayweather beat Hatton on the inside, ridiculous.

          The truth is Mayweather could never match a fresh Hatton on the inside, all he could do was throw an elbow or hold on for Cortez to come rushing in.

          The ride was fixed from the start, from the weight, to the venue, the ring size, to the ref, the judges...everything about it was designed to fcuk Hatton over and they managed it, just like they did with Khan last weekend.


          Even if your ****ty post was completely true, which it isn't, it's just the usual ramblings of a butthurt immature f*ggot, how could you conclude the bold. Mayweather fought Corley, Ndou, Baldomir and even Castillo inside better than he did Hatton.

            Ricky knew he had to take some on the way in, but Cortez breaking them meant he had to work his way in over and over again which set him up perfectly for FMJ.

            Back on topic, I don't see that FMJ is going to rough up Khan on the inside, stylistically it's not a good match-up for Floyd as Khan's handspeed is faster than his own. People point to Floyd's timing/counterpunching and maybe they're right but I can't see him ******** on that, I don't think the fight will happen.
            Floyd beat Hatton cuz he's leagues above him no other reason. Cortez didn't let Hatton do his normal ruff housing bull****. Same way with Khan, Floyd would sit back time him and punish him when he makes mistakes.

              Youd be delusional to think he has a chance against Mayweather. He needs to think more about his opponents and less about waxing his legs.

                Threads like this and comments like that stuff about Peterson being able to pressure Floyd into submission makes me believe people may be watching Mayweather, but not actually SEEING what is going on the ring.

                    Truth! my question when people watch other fighters and make claims about what they will do against Floyd but what fighter has ever been able to do what they are known for against Floyd. Other that Castillo i can't think of another fight who has effectively used their game plan against him. Because Amir has speed and possible length on floyd he would have to develop a world class jab and get his foot work together rushing in throw flurries the way he does would spell disaster against Floyd
