Comments Thread For: Porter: Floyd Mayweather Will Expose Amir Khan's Flaws

[bojangles1987]

Khan's flaws have been exposed a few times now. What's left to expose, what's hidden beneath his shorts?

[LacedUp]

this reeks of desperation, way more than what i had posted. i don't have to big up or convince anybody about maidana anyway, clearly the public wants to see that fight happen.

No it doesn't. You pick out flaws in a guy who's consistently been fighting at world level. Maidana was seen as the biggest threat in the 140 division and Khan got hit against a guy who had gone the distance twice or something like that. So what? You are nitpicking. Khan won the fight fair and square, and he showed a lot of heart to come through the fight.

When you fight the likes of Garcia, Maidana, Peterson back to back, you can't expect to go through those fights untouched.

Why? Are you one of those people who also claimed he cherrypicked Cotto, Mosley, ODLH, Canelo, Guerrero, Ortiz etc?

Floyd can't do right on this forum. Even if he'd pick Pacquiao and knock him out in the first round, people would say Pacquiao already had his ass handed to him by Marquez. If it was Bradley, then he already got schooled by Pacquaio etc etc.

Both Khan and Maidana are good fighters who have some really good victories on each of their resumes.

He has already told us all on Floydhype that his team 'cherrypicks' his opponents. I actually couldn't believe he said this, but he did.

Guerrero was certainly a cherrypick and he was probably forced to fight Canelo due to poor PPV numbers in the Guerrerro fight. And he forced Canelo into a catchweight when he was 154 titleist. Anyone who believes that Canelo chose to come down to 152 is deluded.

Cotto and Mosley were both past prime (they were against pac to to be fair).
DLH was close to prime and called all the shots in that fight but FLoyd was willing to take the B side as the rewards were so HIGH, it made him the PPV star he is now.

Floyds problem is that he has ATG ability but he's a walking contridiction and he openly admits taking high reward low risk fights. Thats great for his bank balance but he'll never earn respect from proper fight fans.

So has Maidanas flaws been exposed. Much worse than Khans. Especially in going up against Mayweather, quite clearly the best boxer in the world. If you can't hang with Alexander, you probably can't hang with mayweather.

It's not meaningless if fans want to see the fight.

just because khan's fringe fans believe he has a chance to win the opening rounds doesn't mean there's a public demand for mayweather-khan. clearly there isn't.

What your saying is totally false. I would be real satisfied with Mayweather taking the Maidana fight. I was almost as satisfied with him fighting Canelo, except of course he threw that Catchweight on the guy who could barely make 154 as it is.

Mayweather should be fighting, Porter, Maidana, Thurman, Bradley or Pacquiao right now. Obviously Pacquiao and Bradley are out of the question but there's no reason he should be fighting Khan what so ever. Khan is coming off of back to back terrible performances and before that a devastating knockout loss.

You keep trashing Maidana with his losses but he has vastly improved since then while Khan has greatly diminished in skill since he's fight with the juicer peterson. What bothers me the most is your absolute no excuses di ck riding of Mayweather. This fight sucks (Khan vs Mayweather). And we all know it.

You can't be serious. Thurman and Porter have one world level win between them.

I don't keep thrashing Maidana. I'm being ironic, because of the fact that 'el chino' is holding Khan to a totally undeserved standard without giving Maidana, the other contender for the shot, the same criticism. Yes he beat Broner and it was a good win - But Maidana has not fought and competed at the same level as Khan has in his career.

I like Maidana a lot, I really do. I just found it laughable that his fans claim Khan is on such a stinking run that he doesn't deserve a fight - whereas Maidana is apparently on a fantastic run and has developed heaps and bounds despite losing decisively to Alexander in 2012 and has gone on to beat two career lightweights and a welterweight who was 2-5 in his last 7.

There is nothing to say here Mayweather vs Khan sucks better fight Maidana if not Pacquiao.

[LacedUp]

just because khan's fringe fans believe he has a chance to win the opening rounds doesn't mean there's a public demand for mayweather-khan. clearly there isn't.

It has nothing to do with who has the biggest chance to win.

If you think there's bigger demand world wide for a Maidana fight, then that's ok. But you would be wrong.

Right. All of Floyd's fights are cherrypicks.

Forget the fact that Both Mosley and Cotto came off career best victories. Forget the fact that people thought Mayweather was ducking Mosley.

They were past it.

[Money_May]

Yes and your response was clearly trying to big up Maidana who has already proven he can be outboxed (Khan, Alexander, Kotelnik, Morales), shown he has a weakness for body punching (Khan, Ortiz), has no inside game (alexander, Kotelnik), is slow (Khan, Alexander), can't finish a guy, who according to you has with no chin or defense (Khan), has never beaten an elite guy at his weight class (Kotelnik, Khan, Alexander).

Wow good post
