    Mayweather-Khan simliar to Tyson-Douglass?

    I dont think Khan is a great fight, e****ally if he doesnt fight anyone at WW first but there are some who think his style and his speed could cause a matchup problem for Floyd. Most of all though, the only reason why I wouldnt mind seeing this fight next is the UK, Wembley Stadium angle.

    For some reason its kinda in my mind that Floyd could go over there and maybe is a lil drained from the travel or gets mesmerized by 90,000 rabid fans. Doesnt anyone wanna see him fight overseas? That would be crazy and different.

    Could it be possible that he goes over there against the one guy that no one thinks would beat him and ends up losing for the 1st time? It just makes it different that it will be in London and fighting in from of 90,000. Floyd's never dealt with anything even close to that situation

    Floyd's training habits is a lil bit better than Tyson's but i did have a dream Khan beat Floyd last year. So who knows if it's in London i def make that fight.

      I think Mayweather loves that attention. That wouldn't affect him. It'd affect khan. He's literally about to get his ass kicked in his country infront of millions and the 90000 fans . Everything is literally againest khan . Except the crowd that will turn againest him when he loses.

        I understand your perspective but Khan simply doesn't deserve the fight. I wouldn't mind seeing it if he did anything at all towards earning it.

          As someone stated above, Floyd trains awfully hard, and as far as we know, he's not the psychotic train wreck Mike was.

          Douglass also had a great jab, good power, plus a huge size and reach advantage over Mike. Douglass had the tools just not the will power to use them effectively very often.

          Khan doesn't have what it takes.

            Khan beating Floyd would be a big upset but not the biggest upset in the history of the sport. As a matter of fact many people are going to give Khan a shot to win because of his speed and stylistically he could trouble Floyd if he brings his A-game.......NOBODY gave Buster Douglas a chance whatsover.

              but he just coming off his biggest win of his career, mother****ers travelling worldwide bragging about the win, so this is his Great fight that he thinks will define him.

              I mean Floyd only has 2 great fights Oscar, Canelo, one was past prime another too green and weight drained.

              So he can probably let it get to his head and believe the hype then find him self getting ****ed up by khan, stranger shit has happened.

                I feel bad for Khan, he has all the physcial attributes but none of the mental toughness or discipline needed to be an A class fighter. Even with his suspect chin, he'd be almost unbeatable if he could just stick to a game plan and not get lured into brawls.....

                  I'm almost scared to imagine that. I think it's pretty much impossible. However, if the unthinkable does happen I expect any half decent fighter to line up at Khan's door hoping for a shot at him. He'll have a target on his back. And end up being slept cold by someone else.

                    If the underdog is known, u cant compare it to Tyson - Douglas.

                    Floyd doesnt feed off of love from the crowd. He was booed against Canelo, in London he will actually get more love. Khan isnt so popular with the british public like Hatton and Bruno.
