Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: I'm Faster Than Mayweather, I Want Him!

[Pimp-Hand]

Speed kills! I do think Amir's speed will bother Mayweather a lot. If Amir had a chin I would actually favor him.

It's a shame Khan has to have a glass chin. He would be so much better as a fighter if it wasn't for that. That said, there's absolutely no way he's beating Mayweather. I'll be shocked if he pulls off an upset. This forum would go insane if it turns out to be Khan who happens to beat Floyd.

He quite clearly is faster in terms of hand and foot speed. Mayweather has much better timing and defensive reflexes

Hand speed i'll give you, but his foot speed as well as his footwork aren't great at all. As a matter of fact his footwork is almost as bad as his chin.

*sigh* Here we go again. This dude's ego is out of control. Floyd has a big ego, but at least he backs his **** every time he steps in the ring. Khan just runs his mouth like he's the king of boxing, but he gets completely outclassed every time he faced a worthy opponent.

I'm not a big Kahn fan, but who out classed him? I saw him lose a few times but those where either very close fights or 1 punch that ended the fight (where Kahn was actually out classing Garcia). Prescot just caught him cold.He out classed Paulie bad and beat Judah pretty easy.

Amir Khan, please, stop!!!

Money May will crack your jaw, you should know better, your glass jaw is fragile, handle with care before Money May breaks it.

Frankie Gavin would take Khan with ease!

Strangely enough, while I think Khan is nowhere near an elite level fighter, his style might be perfectly suited to give Mayweather fits of trouble.

100,000 fans at Wembley sounds tempting and Khan is super easy work. He will get knocked out. Ain't no guarantee that he'll make it past Alexander. I would advise Floyd to return to 147 where he should remain for the duration. Candidates should be considered after the fights go down. Garcia is in the mix as the obvious. The most decorated and legit right now due to his linear status. That would give Floyd 3 back to back linear title appearances if he took that fight next. The winner of Khan-Alexander or the winner of Soto-Karass vs Thurman. Depending on who makes the most noise. Also, if Maidana takes Broner out by nasty KO, you got a hot fight fot Floyd there.

lol at this post.

Khan has been KO'd by some big punches, but he has never been outclassed.

On point, Khan should just sidestep Alexander and fight Floyd if he could - but that means a year out of the ring for Khan, so I don't think that's a good idea.

And I would really like to see him put an end to the joke that is "team Alexander".

[LacedUp]

Amir got no KO power in his punches... even if he says he's fast. Oh, maybe he can knock himself out with his glass jaw.
Only his glass jaw can be KO'd by his pillow punches. $tooopid @hole.
And how the hell did he came up that he's faster than Floyd? For sure he's faster... faster in getting KO'd.

So? Mayweather has just proven 2 nights ago that it takes way more than a hard puncher to beat him.

Style wise, it's an interesting fight. Outside of Pacman, it is also the richest fight. Danny doesn't come close.

Mayweather has also stated on many occassions that he wants to fight in the UK - he's incredibly loved and respected over there. much more than in the US. People would likely cheer him on, even against Khan.

This fight ticks all the boxes, and people will want to see it. He's a better solution than guys like Guerrero and Ortiz were, so I don't really see the problem.
