what has khan even done to warrant a shot at mayweather?

[Weebler I]

Canelo never had the stamina for that kind of fight. He never did, and the catchweight made matters worse.

Canelo is not a pressure fighter and has never been one.

Floyd knew it and about his poor stamina

I'm not disagreeing about his stamina, that's why I felt Canelo had to put it on him early. Imo he had to put it all into the first 2-3 rounds to try to hurt Floyd.

However, he and his trainers over-estimated their ability and decided to stand and box Floyd with a predictable outcome.

Style-wise it was a great match-up for Floyd, same as Garcia would be.

Canelo power was overrated too, he not a huge hitter, the guy is heavy handed but does not have the one punch KO power or that punch that could change a fight.

Canelo is a boxer, not a typical mexican boxer, he had to box his way, the way he knows how to fight.

We know the things Floyd will struggle with.

Speed,
Southpaw
Pressure fighters
Power
Combination punchers
The left hand/Jab
Power
And the footwork to put these factors to work.
Stamina to this for 12 rounds


And which fighter can do all of the above?

And thats why that fight never happened.

Khan has a few of those attributes, more than Canelo, but he a lot more vulnerable and has his own flaws too.

[noStylez]

It's only intriguing because Khan has fast hands throws combinations like a tard and tries to imitate Pac and Khan's new elite level neck will play a major role in the hype.

Floyds KO power will be over 9000 against Khan.

If Khan beats Alexander this fight is 100% legit. It may not be YOUR preference but its legit.

"what has khan even done to warrant a shot?"


Khan looks very beatable and possesses high reward ($$$) with little risk of losing for Floyd. That is why the Floyd team and GB have been mentioning Khan as a potential opponent even after looking pathetic against an opponent that he was supposed to beat.

I don't think Floyd will take the fight unless Khan wins another fight just so they can hype up Khan better. Floyd and his fans can then say, "Khan beat this guy (eg Devon A.) and is ranked #? ...... "

[ADP02]

If Khan beats Alexander this fight is 100% legit. It may not be YOUR preference but its legit.

Just like when Floyd fans said "Guerrero and Ortiz beat Berto so it's legit" .....

The actors names have changed but the plot and story line is the same. So to me, it's like paying to see a sequel of a movie but then you realized that you didn't even like the original!

[turkas]

I guess the fight will make money, which is a valid point in selling the fight.

However, on a actual boxing level I feel Devon has done a lot more to deserve the fight than Khan has.

[sugarsmosley]

Looks like he's backing out of the Devon fight and focusing on Floyd....


He's delusional. Floyd definitely has a good chance of a KO..

Amir khan doesn't deserve to fight Mayweather

I agree, but he has to beat Alexander. Something I and many others don't think happens.

Without beating Devon he clearly doesn't deserve the fight.
