Possible Matchup: Amir Khan vs. Floyd Mayweather Jr. Prediction & Discussion Thread

You say that, but he hurt and took the Championship rounds off the Ring LWW champ just 6 months ago. He lost to Baldomir pre-Floyd and won the first 4 rounds at the weekend v PM. It's the same old Zab, talented but inconsistent.

Thread has gone off on a tangent, but the point stands that unless Khan is hurt, his speed is going to be a problem for 99% of opponents. Whether Floyd is in the 1% remains to be seen.

Ah yes, the 2011 version of Judah is better than the 2006 version

Oh i totally understand Zab, probably the biggest waste of talent of last 15 years. All the tools, none of the brains. He had the skillset and speed to beat Floyd in 06'; he's just not disciplined enough and his ring IQ is lacking.

He clearly wasn't, but he's made out to look worse because Khan dominated him in every second of every round.

Judah was on a good run leading into the Khan fight.

Was definitely a good win for Khan.

That was one of Judah's worst mental foldings.

Floyd in fall of 2011: I am my own boss, I make the offers!!!
Floyd in 2013: " Ugh, I really don't know who I am going to fight until my team tells me....

As an educator, I feel like making a splice of Floyd trying to sound smarter than he is and stumbling and bumbling as his mouth moves faster than his brain. My public speaking class would get a kick out of it....

Mayweather stops Khan. That's all.

Khan does have heart and guts, I'll give him that. Not nearly enough to make this fight acceptable, however.

I thought most of you dummies was saying this is business yesterday when I was saying Lara should be the guy next.. You idiots kept saying it boring, how it don't make sense, deny the best opponent skill wise for a bum that sheltered in a glass house..

Honestly you guys have to be Pacquiao fans to want Floyd to fight this bum.. It's a skid mark on his legacy.. I'm definitely not supporting this cowardice.

I've said it before will say it again i wouldn't buy this with someone else's money, Khan almost got knocked the fk out by a natural lightweight. Do you rly think Floyd's left hook or straight right wouldn't make Khan do the stanky leg on speed alone? Exactly

[B0XXING FAN]

Most of Khan's fan in 'Europe' are not ******s - or at that, his main following is definitely not from the diaspora of the Indian sub-continent. The Indian sub-continent is host to Indians and Sri Lankans, who are mainly Hindu, Sikh and Buddhist - a lot of these people oppose Khan mainly down to a historical context.

Khan has a strong following from the Pakistani-British community. He also has a strong following from all stripes of the boxing community in the UK as he's able to fill out arenas and do pretty decent numbers - not all of these people are ******.

Interestingly, Khan has a decent following in the States and there's a perception he's liked more in the States. It comes at a time where ties between Pakistani-****** communities in the UK are at odds with the other groups they live amongst.

Anyway, Khan would be a good proposition for Mayweather but he doesn't deserve the fight. And his major downfall, that punch resistance.

This. I don't know where Americans get the impression most of Khan's fans are A-rabs?

Even the British ******s aren't united in their support for Khan. Most of them believe he has more to prove and this is his chance.

Make or break though. They'd turn on him quicker than fans of Froch on his way back to Nottingham from Manchester on Nov 23rd 2013...
