Comments Thread For: Video: Amir Khan Training in San Fran...For Mayweather?

[FrankieBruno]

People keep saying Garcia should get the fight

Show me 10 interviews where Garcia is even talking up a fight with Floyd?

Angel said they are staying at 140 and maybe will move up after.

Angel doesn't want to rush his boy, that "0" is important to him, he knows Garcia right now will lose to Floyd, thus they are building their own lane.

Garcia is doing the right thing, losing to Floyd right now will stop his hype train

Con looks like **** in the video. He is awfully tight/tense when hittin the mitts. Seems like he'd hit harder and more fluidly if he loosened up a little.

Would rather see Khan do the limbo in the ring a few times with Floyd than to have to sit through another Floyd vs Ortiz or Floyd vs Guerrero fight...No more plodders lol!! Khan has offensive skills but I hope V.Hunter is teaching him to clinch because if he was clinching instead of going crazy when he's rocked he might actually have only one loss on his record.

He's training now because he's fighting either Ortiz or Guerrero.

Rumors say that Mosley would fight Ortiz in December (as Broner-Maidana undercard).
... But they also have Khan...

Thank god that bloke in yellow didn't hit him back!
Khan needs to fight contenders to get any real support, this really is tiresome!
I goes like this ; if you want to fight for the welterweight title.......you fight a welterweight contender or two , you shouldn't hang around trying to get a hand out and at the same time criticise anyone who wants to do a similar thing regards you ,double standards mate and people easily see through this and the touted ridiculous idea of a Mayweather fight ! Worse things have happened in boxing but it would be good that if Khan was ever to fight floyd he fights and BEATS a couple of good contenders first.
I suppose i'll have to keep dreaming thou !

I know this is light training but he dropped his right hand low every time he threw a jab. It's like it's natural for him to do it now. If I were him I'd work on some exercises that require him to hold his arm up in that position. Get rid of the bad habits, tighten up defense.

One thing i never get about seeing these guys work with their trainers on the mitts....the trainer tells them exactly whats coming. Shouldn't the point be to emulate a real fight, when you don't know whats coming and have to react? The opponent doesn't tell you "hey, after you throw your one two left hook, i'm going to hook back and i want you to roll with it and pivot to your right!"

Arent people tired of hearing and talking about Khan fights that never materialize? How about we wait until he actually announces a fight?

[Hougigo]

It's funny because not even his trainer has faith in him. Where's that vid where Hunter says Khan's no match for Mayweather right now?

They mainly do it for form, technique, and speed. That's what sparring is used for.
