Schaefer gives Amir Khan a good chance against Mayweather

[BattleAxePurist]

If there is a silver lining the undercard will be very good surely,

Legit/Farce of a fight does it really matter there's enough screwballs to fork over their $$ GB knows it,,they're just biting time until one of the younger bucks becomes ready.

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?

Of course Schaefer is going to say that. They are desperate to have a glorified exhibtion with Amir Khan.

Khan is 2-2 in his last four fights. Is he really qualified according to Floyd.

Floyd really wants a ko.

Eh, they're just gonna stack the under card again, and give Floyd all the credit for the success. Same story as always.

lol, danny and canelo are fighting in march. mayweather seems to be pretty desperate to stack this card, looks like GBP put all their eggs in one basket with the canelo fight. even if broner is on the undercard, he's not fighting for a title or against anyone with a pulse. he'll probably end up rematching antonio demarco or something.

here's hoping im wrong and he gets a big fight, and the undercard is stacked again. but by the desperation of floyd to get canelo and broner on his undercard, and his reluctance to announce a mere con is telling me that he knows showtime/CBS is losing money on may 3

Come I n SERIOUSLY? This is almost as bad as when mayweather fought gureurro. enough with theese extremly easy fights floyd… khan has speed but a GLASS CHIN. w.e i dont even get mad at floyd making fights that are lame im so use to it by now. No wonder why he wants canelo on his under card floyds gureurro fight FLOPPED when it came to numbers… i see the same happening with a joke fight like this se

Don't forget poor defense and terrible stamina.

Khan is not a credible opponent at all. Shame on Floyd if he takes this fight.

Schaefer is a good business man and good at putting fights together. To me he doesn't know **** about boxing and I have no respect for his opinion on who wins the fight. He is a liar. He know damn well Mayweather is fighting Khan next and unless he is even more ****** than I thought he knows Mayweather will win. Mayweather is faster than Khan with much better timing, accuracy, defense and boxing skills and he hits more than hard enough to flatten Khan. Schaefer is just giving Khan such a good chance to win to try to sell this lame fight.
