Comments Thread For: Hunter: Khan Will Surprise People Against Mayweather

[Bushbaby]

Not buying it.

Khan is a legitimate threat to Floyd. I don't understand how so many people think otherwise. This is Khan's dream fight, his holy grail, so we will definitely see the best version of him possible if he gets the chance to get in the ring with Floyd. If he can stay focused and sharp, Khan can definitely win this fight. People are making too much of Khan's supposedly glass chin. What if "Iron" Floyd Mayweather doesn't take him out with one of his hay-maker left hooks that he's so famous for?? Then what? Then we have a boxing match for Floyd against a guy who has faster hands and, more importantly, faster feet than any other fighter that Floyd has seen in a very long time (maybe ever) who throws with excellent power, in combination and who has among the best stamina in the game. Whether he deserves the fight or not (Bradley, Garcia, Provo and Pac certainly deserve it more), Khan probably has the best blend of attributes to beat a guy like Floyd.

Is this the best we can hope for? A guy that on his best night, with 100% focus in training and full dedication to the sport; that he can only make the fight interesting for a few rounds? With fans making him the highest paid athlete in the world, we deserve better than this ****!

Guys making too much of Khan's glass chin?? He's getting put on the canvas consistently by guys fighting at 140! Now he's gonna move up to 147 and fight the best in the world? Maybe if he had manned up and fought Alexander, who was clearly there for the taking, the sell on this sham of a fight would be slightly more legitimate. But Khan ducking that fight, for fear of a loss makes him less deserving of this shot IMHO.

Khan should have to beat a legit contender convincingly first.

I can't believe Mayweather-Khan might actually happen. Awful.

If it does happen, Khan's only real chance is to re-hire Freddie Roach. That's only if Freddie would be willing to train him again. Roach is the last trainer that designed an effective gameplan against Floyd when he trained Oscar. Since Floyd doesn't have one punch KO power, Khan would actually have a chance with Freddie's offense first type of style. Amir is as fast as Floyd and can throw 5-6 punch combinations for 12 rounds. Remember Khan was schooling Danny Garcia with quick combinations before Danny caught him bad.

Soon as Amir is hit hard, he will revert back to what Roach taught him

Roach has already said this, you cant control Khan, he is a offensive fighter, Hunter will be telling Khan to calm down, but Khans natural instinct is to go to war. So Virgil training him makes no difference, Khan has learnt what he needed off Roach, its all there in him

The rest is to do with Khan himself and his fitness

Will be an action packed fight, one of Floyd's best. Floyd vs maidana will be the same shit as always.

Floyd vs khan = exciting.

I'm an American and I assure you I will not be buying this fight if its made and most likely won't buy the Maidana fight if its made. In fact right now the only fights I would be willing to PPV are Floyd vs. Pacquiao or Floyd pursuing a MW title or defending his JMW title against a top JMW, a PPV card featuring James Kirland vs. GGG, Kovalev vs. Stevenson, Maidana vs. Mattysee and that's about it for me.

I thought as much it will be interesting to see how Golden Boy tries to market this, American's know there boxing- the fight that should be happening is either Pacman or Thurman or Danny Garcia.

[Zano-24]

How many times have we heard this tune before? Its the same bs talk over and over. Your not going to beat him. Khan has a good chance to getting TKO'D this fight.
