Amir Khan has a better shot to beat Floyd than anyone else at 147

[Haterfree]

Anyone who was knocked out by Prescott and Garcia and struggled against Peterson and an ancient Diaz DOES NOT BELONG IN THE SAME CONVERSATION AS MAYWEATHER, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The thread should end after this Post.

Fu(k it lets go 1 step further. Khan didn't struggle against Peterson. He lost. And he would probably lose to Peterson again if they fought.

I don't think than deserves the fight either but i do think stylistic he will cause Floyd a bunch of problems. Hans hand speed height reach and even his under rated body punching can cause problems. I just think once Floyd figures him out timing wise and than loses focus and wants to brawl he gets frustrated and i don't see weather knocking than out by no means.

[THE REED]

There was a time where I was interested, that time has passed.

Khan won't be the tallest fighter Floyd fought. Hernandez and Corrales were taller than Khan and the shoulder roll worked great on them. Though Floyd was more aggressive at 130 and didn't really use the shoulder roll. At 154 he fought De La Hoya who is 5' 10" and the shoulder roll worked great.

No he isn't. He's barely better than Diaz.

Diaz is good tho.

The Tim Bradley camp is like the best thing that ever happened to his career. Maybe for Joel too (as a trainer anyway). The problem was never his boxing or his punching, it was his wack ass chin. The night he fought Khan he fought very well. Probably his best losing effort (He's had many of these). He would have gave any 140lber problems that night.

I think Khan will go all out on Floyd though. Its about time we see him fight a different style. I want to see Mayweather deal with the reach, the punch output and the speed.

I really dont mind ALexander, Khan, Bradley or Garcia getting the next shot. All good fights.

Khan struggles against brawlers see Petterson, Garcia, Diaz

Floyd is not a brawler, he pot shots and moves out of range, however Khans punch input is very high, he could steal rounds simply off workrate.

Floyd will have to come out of his shell against Khan, he's not going to win rounds with the punch input he had against Ghost and Canelo

We'll have too see Floyd throw more punches than he did in his last two, he's getting old, tends to pull his foot off the pedal from round 8 and onwards

I don't think he will have thus luxury against Khan if it gets that far

I'm not saying he could win, but hear me out. The Mayweather shoulder roll is a great defense tactic, but only against guys who are either eye to eye with Floyd or shorter than him. Khan, at 5'10, could go right over it. Also, I believe Khan would be the fastest guy Floyd's fought in a long, long time. Maybe since he fought Zab in his prime. I think Floyd might still win, and possibly KO Khan. But of all the names(Bradley, Alexander, Garcia, Broner, etc.) this is the guy I think proves to be the biggest stylistic challenge. I don't think Khan is a better fighter than a lot of these guys, just more of a challenge for Mayweather. Let me know what you all think about this.

1st of all Amir DID NOT fight a prime Zab Judah, this isn't even a debate.
2ndly, The shoulder roll should theoretically benefit Southpaws... You know like Guerrero and we saw what happened there

Guerrero is stronger, tougher, smarter, and as tall (or close to it) and a southpaw to boot and Mayweather made him look awful. If this fight materializes Mayweather is going to get his first clean KO since Hatton.

Sorry dude but you are way off.

It would be nice if members quit pushing this mismatch here.

No he isn't. He's barely better than Diaz.

yes he is better than canelo and guerrero ...the only thing they have over him is chin ...
