Could Amir Khan be Mayweather's Ken Norton

Nobody can outbox floyd.

I think Erislandy Lara has something to say about that.

How can anyone in the right mind really think Kahn has a chance.

[WESS]

I think Lara gives Floyd hell at 154.

I don't think so but it's a fight that should happen.

[IST-ra-GLEr2]

khan doesnt stand a chance. everybody knows it. thats why floyd picked him.

I feel like Amir Khan possesses the tools to make Mayweather look bad -- A+ hand speed, elite foot speed, power, heart, and experience.

Khan's weakness is punchers. Mayweather is not a puncher, so Khan should be comfortable in the exchanges and just in general.

Also, Mayweather's lateral movement is not as good as Erislandy Lara's. It's not as sharp and he doesn't cover as much distance as Lara does in one step while maintaining balance and readiness to punch.

Don't get me wrong. I am a Mayweather fan, but something tells me Khan is Ken Norton to Mayweather's Muhammad Ali.

If the Khan that stopped Zab Judah shows up against Mayweather, I am placing a bet on him. The odds would be very profitable.

Also, a Mayweather-Khan fight could look a lot like Hopkins-Taylor I.

DAE agree? I respect all intelligent, thought-out opinions. I don't buy in to the media hype of either boxer. I try to look at this match-up as objectively as I can.

RICHARD SCHAEFFER, is that you?

Ummmm no, and to suggest otherwise is delusional.

[Enzo Mc is SHIT]

Khan is going to cause Mayweather a tonne of problems until about the 3rd. In the 3rd round Mayweather will find his rhythm and starts to time Khan. From here it is only a matter of time until Khan gets KO'd.

I agree with this.

I never understand the people who always predict Mayweather to beat someone by KO. Do you understand that Mayweather has fought a lot LESSER fighters recently and never even came close to KO'ing any of them (like Guerrero) yet he's supposed to KO all these actual p4p type fighters? Come on.

It is not hard to understand: he simply doesn't want to KO them.

Did Golden Boy start this thread? This is becoming silly. Khan is an amatuer and people are still buying the hype. When will people learn.
