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

[bigsmoothh]

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.

this, green k sent

Why is Pac's names mentioned right off the back? Lmao guys it's abou khan and mayweather. You've had thousands of other stories to make your points drop it. No one mentioned his name. We get it.

[bigsmoothh]

Who cares, get it signed already, I wanna hear what GBP is gonna put on the undercard. Cause we all know it'll have to be a helluva card!

i care itll probably be on may holiday weekend. ive said it a thousand times i dont want to see floyd. put on angulo/mares/canelo/santa cruz/maidana/jmm or anyone who puts on a good show for us fans. i dont know why more people have complaint about it before........

[Bigg Rigg]

It would be the funiest thing ever if khan was to some how beat mayweather. Lol

[junior gong]

[al-Xander]

Fight needs to be announced ASAP.
Come on, Floyd, make it happen.
It will be huge in UK.

[sicko]

JOKE FIGHT! Better load up the cards, Casual fan not buying it especially when they go searching to see who this guy is only to see him getting knocked the *** out by Danny Garcia and Prescott

Major Step Back For Mayweather and the dude haven't even fought at 147 yet so your very first fight at 147 is going to be Mayweather....YEAH....GOOD LUCK!

[APBrooklyn]

This sux, but regardless this would be a better Fall fight - like Oct. in Vegas. Maidana would generate a great buzz for May after the Broner beatdown. Maidana is the most worthy then Lara....Lara wont sell well- maidana-lets do it!!

I think this guy thinks Floyd invented the Philly Shell. Fighters have been using the Philly Shell for 100+ years and its been defeated for 100+ years. The style doesn't make the fighter. The fighter makes the style. Pac struggles with counterpunchers. Doesn't mean you can pull a counterpuncher out of a 4rd swing fight on ESPN and beta him. Floyd is better than Broner. But even at that, AB really doesn't even use the shoulder roll as a primary weapon. Its something he uses in close quarters mostly. Outside of that he's pretty much stacks with the high guard a lot like Winky Wright.
