Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer isn’t ready to let the cat out of the bag as far as who Mayweather Jr’s next opponent will be on May 3rd, but he is willing to say that he thinks Amir Khan has a good chance of beating Mayweather due to his hand speed advantage over him.
Schaefer sees Khan as having faster hands, and he points to Floy Mayweather’s fight against a young Zab Judah back in 2006 as case of Mayweather struggling with a fighter with quick hands and feet. Floy Mayweather beat Judah by the scores 119-109, 116-112, 117-111. If this is the best that an opponent with fast hands could go against Floy Mayweather then I think Schaefer is going to be in for a big letdown if the Amir Khan-Mayweather fight takes place on May 3rd.
“Styles make fights and speed kills,” Schaefer said to Hustleboss. “ Khan is one of the most skilled fighters…I think it would be a fascinating match-up and if it would happen, I give Khan a hell of a chance…Floyd Mayweather is not exactly the biggest puncher.”
Schaefer is pouring it on kind of thick, isn’t he?
