17 Year old Khan or 19 Year old Mayweather

[Box3r]

What I find really interesting is that Khan is less square on as an amateur and his stance was much better. With Floyd it is the opposite he was more square on.
Boxing skills wise having watched this footage I would have expected Khan to be a lot better than he is now. Khan had a great amateur style and has not really developed a full economical pro style yet. With Floyd you can see he had a pro style already when he was an amateur and was already thinking about the future ahead.

Agree with you on everything what you said Mr Mongo...

khan was even ****ing worse as an amateur all he had was speed, technically he was awful. his footwork now is hideous but then it was far worse

Sorry but.... 'begs the question jim what on Earth was his father doing get involved in crack, what kind of example does that set? should be ashamed of himself'. Made me lol.

great example, little floyd turned out great and all thanks to his dad playing around with crack. all parents reading this take note if you want your kids to do well!!!!

IDK if its fair to pick Floyd's worst Olympic trials fight to compared to a Khan KO. Seems a lil biased

[charlieg]

Damnnnn imo Roach has ruined this kid.. I know its amateur, different ball game but still to a certain extent its still boxing anyways watch and discus...

If you knew anything about boxing and had followed any of Khan's early career, you'd know that this sentence is embarrassing for any fool that utters it.

Khan's career until he met Roach was falling apart. He'd been wobbled and dropped by some C-class fighters and bums. Prescott flattened him. He was a superb amateur but clueless in the pro game, and since moving to the Wildcard he has morphed from a knockout-waiting-to-happen (well, had happened) into a world class fighter. Roach should be applauded, lauded for Khan's progress.

These boards are filled with ignorance.

he chose the wrong trainer for his boxing abilities, Roach is the wrong guy for Khan.

I have been watching boxing a long time and as for Khan I have been watching him before the Olympics so try not to judge my boxing knowledge you don’t know me!!

Roach is the most over rated trainer I know of, name me one boxer who he has picked off as a kid and molded him into an elite boxer. Paquiao was already a world champion rated to be a huge prospect, as for Khan a silver medalist and same as Paquaio hot property in his native country. Khan was young and weight drained that’s why he was being wobbled by non-punchers. Do you think Roach magically made him get a decent chin?

Khan’s boxing abilities, all wrong for coach Roach!!!

Khan is EXTREMELY WILD, he still fights like that actually, he comes charging forward with that excellent Speed but when he misses he gets very sloppy and starts to grab and stumble all over the place

[RichardP]

everybody slows down, khan has slowed down a bit since moving up to 140, he was super fast at 135. He kinda slowed down after maidana fight, u never can tell, but maybe those maidana shots took something from khan. that was a war.

khan lots about 25% foot speed from being an amature, but that comes with being a professional, nobody prob would pay to see him run and bounce as he did when he was an amature.

should be interesting to see floyds next fight see if he gets faster feet again.
