Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Say Mayweather Deal is "Very Close" Now

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Amir Khan is confident he is just weeks away from sealing a super-fight against Floyd Mayweather.

Khan has been holding out for a lucrative clash with the pound-for-pound number one since suffering a scare in his last fight against Julio Diaz in Sheffield in April.

And now the 27-year-old from Bolton believes the deal is close to being sealed for a bout against the unbeaten world light-middleweight champion, almost certainly in Las Vegas in May.

I hope Khan takes notes from what he saw last Saturday night. You can't throw 1-2 combinations against the Philly Shell. You have to throw 4-5 punch combinations in order to connect. Their system is designed for stationary targets with slow, 2-3 punch combinations and then they reset to rinse and repeat. Maidana exposed how you beat these philly shell fighters. Bully them, make it a rough and ugly fight (they get uncomfortable) and throw 4-5 punch combinations.

This is why Floyd keeps avoiding Pacquiao, Pac throws powerful fast combinations from all sorts of angles. The Philly Shell is not designed for those type of fighters.

Floyd and even Toney's shoulder roll is a lot different than Broner's version....those guys can actually use it.

Well this is what we've been expecting anyway. I've already come to terms with this fight.

Mayweathers defense and Broners defense are not even on the same planet...

Come on guys it's not that bad, it's a new style against Mayweather and we all know Pac and him will not fight before, what 2015 if we're lucky? Garcia and Bradley would be repetition of former bouts, but Khan makes for a entertaining and intriuging fight.

Common golden boy get Maidana the May weather fight. Its much more intriguing. Plus Maidana deserves a paycheck.

really dont see the difference. what are we, rooting for guys to get paychecks now? come on....

the only good thing about Maidana is that people like Maidana and we would be rooting for him. However it would suck if he got humiliated for no good reason other than a payday

whereas against Khan, we couldnt give two ****s if he got a beatdown.
