Comments Thread For: Hatton Gives Khan a Shot To Shock Mayweather Jr.

[MELLY-MEL...]

Floyd forces EVERYONE to fight his fight, Khan will never be the guy to change that. He gets baited so easily by fighters far less superior than pbf, floyd will have a field day with khan.

this fight is not about boxing this is purely about money. Mayweather needs to protect his 0 and needs someone thats going to bring it to be a decent pay-per-view. Mayweather and Kahn win. (Kahn win even w/ the L he will take) the fans lose

[Gary Coleman]

I'd give Khan a 10% chance of victory and even that is a little high.

Outside of speed, which Mayweather himself has, what else does Amir have in his arsenal that could give Floyd problems?

I love how you are all calling Ricky out for saying something like this.

What's the problem? He's just saying it would be interesting to see Floyd as the stalker.

He walked canelo down. Floyd can and has fought vs every style. He dictates the fight not the opposition.

[TGD]

At no point here is hatton saying khan will win the fight or not get ko'ed.

He says khan 'can' 'could' 'possibly'. Not the language of 'will' or 'is going to..'

Hatton's just a nice bloke and not going to be a **** about a friend when asked a question about him by a reporter.

But he knows what's up.

Exactly this. You could tell by Hatton's face he doesn't think Khan has a chance, but he's backing his friend.

If by "shock Mayweather" Ricky means surprised that Floyd Ks Khan TFO inside of 6 rounds... Then yes. Mayweather would be shocked.


In Khan you have a tough little boxer with little chin who can't stick to a gameplan to save his life.

In Floyd you have an all timer who imposes his will on every fight of record to date with the hardest chin to catch clean.

I think Hattie's snorting again...

[SugarAnt05]

I hope Ricky not on the nose candy again.

[rckdees]

obviously hatton is keeping company with de la hoya.

[SilverSun]

I'll take Hatton serious when his nose is clean.

Khan Hype is in phase I right now. Lets go GBP!

Khan can easily beat Floyd if he has the right game plan

Make Floyd be the aggressor. Hes more comfortable being in the shoulder roll position so don't let him do that.

1. Feint to throw off his timing (downstairs and upstairs)
a) if he jumps back 5 feet like he did against Canelo than circle him
b) if hes there to be hit than throw a 2-3 punch combination and hold him until the ref breaks it up, circle away and repeat

2. Floyd will get frustrated and look to throw the lead right. Bait him into this by not moving your head and getting within his range. When he throws it, duck under and throw a uppercut. This is the best chance of knocking him out because hes coming forward and won't see it coming. If Floyd lands the right than no big deal because hes feather fisted.

Once again you prove you know very little about boxing. This strategy has been tried and debunked by floyd several times. Floyd is a master student of the game. He does not get ktfo by running into punches. And he takes away his opponents best weapon. This bull crap your talking won't work vs the boxer in last place and definitely not against floyd. Stick to the video games kid, you've never boxed and your post show it. You cannot bait floyd and you cannot frustrate the p4p king and fighter of the decade floyd Mayweather. When have you ever observed floyd get knocked off his game plan due to his opponents antics? The answer is never. Get real.
