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

[chardrnm]

Let Mayweather fight Khan and lets see the PPV results. I wont buy this because Khan has no chin one blow from Mayweather its the end of your money.

What are you talking about dude

Nobody Deserves a fight with Floyd more than Pacquiao, He has beaten everybody. Timothy Bradley was a better win than anyone Floyd has ever fought and Bradley isn't even one of Pacquiao's best wins.

He beat Timothy Bradley, He was looking Phenomenal against Marquez before the knockout, and he Fought a spectacular fight against Rios.

Even if you don't know it, Floyd knows it. He has completely run out of excuses. Look at his next opponent ffs. Amir Khan.

You're saying Amir Khan deserves a fight with Floyd more than Pacquiao? Are you ******?

hey im just going by the facts. fact is that pac just got ko. he doesnt deserve a shot at floyd right now. dont hate the messenger.

They had their eyes set on Khan as soon as the Canelo fight was over. What makes you think the winner of this tournament will even get to fight Floyd?

What if it turns out to be K9 Bundrage, or some random ass opponent like that.

Whoever comes out of that will have plenty of hype for May 2015.

Right now, it should be Pac or Bradley but that's not happening. Garcia wants to defend his titles at 140. GBP's welterweight roster is thin. There is literally no opponents because of this network and promotional BS.

I understand most here are riding the Maidana wave but Khan/Mayweather will make a way more interesting fight than Maidana/Mayweather! Hell, I can see Khan giving Mayweather some trouble at times based on his speed and combinations along with the fact he's left handed which has presented Floyd with some complications before. I will definitely watch it, will be interesting. Yes Khan makes mistakes, yes he's been KO'ed before but he also has som attributes that could potentially make an entertaining fight.

Bradley is a good boxer, but he don't have a chance, he's not slow but he ain't real quick either and without real top power, I can't see him troubling Mayweather too much. get me right, I'd love to see this fight, but I'm still far more sold out on the Khan fight based on the fact that Khan has the fastest hands in the business.
It'd be like against Zab, after 4 rounds Mayweather would have figured Bradley out. There's no doubt that anyone who fights Bradley is in for a long tough night, but I just don't see Bradley winning rounds nor being able to knock Floyd out, you really wanna see that fight?

You don't know **** about boxing. Bradley can actually fight on the inside. He's very hard to hit on the inside, and outside. Can box. Knows how to use his feet and angles. Doesn't quit. Can fight going forwards or backwards.

DOESN'T QUIT.

Hell yeah I wanna see that fight.

You really wanna watch a fight where Floyd is almost guaranteed to KO Khan?

Just come out and say it then! Floyd's ducking Pac.

You just said Floyd should fight Pac, but that ain't happening.

Floyd's a *****. "he's 1-2, can't happen." "Manny, who?"

get of floyds nuts

no one wants this fight

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.

broner does not know much about how to work that style as showed this weekend, Floyd has it mastered, he makes it so you cant get away with bullying him guerrero bum rushed berto but couldn't do jack to Floyd, when done right the shell defense is hard to crack along with everything else Floyd brings to the table

[ManOnTheMoon]

If Khan would have rebounded nicely from his latest KO then I wouldn't object too much to this but Khan has looked terrible under Virgil Hunter in his last few fights.

[johnm is...]

They've been looking to force feed us this fight for a long time. I have no idea how they're going to try and promote Khan as a credible opponent.
