Floyd Mayweather vs Amir Khan who wins (post-Peterson drug revelation)

[SkillspayBills]

I think this is closer than people give credit for. Khan is primed, young talented and has one of Floyd's main weaknesses, a great jab. Nonetheless he gets beat on. That chin won't hold up the full 12.

In light of the revelations around Peterson's drug use, does it change your take on how Khan vs Mayweather plays out or you still got Mayweather blitzing Khan?

No it wouldn't make Khan any better he still is not as good as mayweather. He showed up badly in the Peterson fight, bouncing around like a rubber ball, or a grasshopper, (take your choice) and was rightly penalised by the ref, who therwise kept the fight going witn practicallty no interruptions. I particularly noticed that when another ref would have allowed them to get entangled and called a break, Cooper just kpet slapping the grabbing hands away, to keep the action going.

khan pretty much proved that the chin issue at 135 was down to being weight drained because he chewed up and spat out all of Maidanas heavy shots, when half the people thought at the time that Maidana would KO him. I suspect Khan punch resistance might actually improve when he moves up at 147, just like it did when he moved to 140. Seems like he's still slightly weight drained at 140 IMO.

do any of u guys think khan takes those shots that cotto took from floyd last week as gracefully?? because i guarantee u he will get hit. and he would get hit a whole lot more.

Probably not but do you think Khan would fight him the same way as Cotto did?

It will be competitive for a few rounds then Floyd dominates.

I have always said with this match up that come late 2012 the balance will shift in khan's favour. I think this.

[mozzer101]

Khan has no power. Floyd could easily knock him out.

[Sociopath]

Do you think Floyd could have stopped Mosley and Cotto late if he went for it???

Obviously this wasn't meant for me, but I would say yes. Especially Mosley. Cotto not so sure. He was only in trouble in the last minute of the fight. After he wobbled, Floyd could have ended it had he started throwing more. However, with such little time left, Cotto may have been able to survive even if Floyd went for the KO.

Khan didn't look mediocre as hell due to PEDs. They don't excuse his own poor performance.

You know, Khan still had every physical advantage over Peterson and still lost, let me repeat that...Khan had every physical advantage over Peterson. Khan is overrated, extremely overrated, I don't see how the whole Peterson fiasco should change anything. Floyd still beats him, easily too.

I agree with all this and couldnt have said it any better...


Personally i dont know why this fight is being entertained by many...I think Khan would get humiliated and blown out by the 6 or 8th round..
