Could Amir Khan be Mayweather's Ken Norton

I think Erislandy Lara has something to say about that.

"Only another chessmaster can beat another chessmaster." --Bernard Hopkins

Lara hasn't been in the ring with anyone close to Floyds level

Go watch khans last three fights. He doesn't stand a chance. All this "speed and power" talk is BS. He failed to look good against guys he was meant to dominate in Diaz and Molina.

Anyway, not that many options at 147 for Mayweather, he really needs Bradley and Manny to break ties with top rank to get the real boxing fans interested.

Otherwise there a few good fights at 154 (lara and kirkland)

Khan was a much better fighter in 2010. That Khan might have won a round or two in a fight with Mayweather. The 2014 Khan just struggled to beat Diaz and will be crushed by Mayweather.

a round or two

bum ass The Ghost won 3 rounds

Khan can do better than that

[Weebler I]

Khan is very open to be hit when he attacks and throws flurries. Mayweather is a super counter puncher and will exploit Khan's inability to cover up when firing his shots. This is a really easy fight for Mayweather you will have to go back a long way to find an easier one.

Does it matter though if Floyd can't hurt him? Carlos Molina caught Khan with the left hand repeatedly, it didn't matter because he couldn't make it count. Not saying Floyd can't hurt him mind.

The short answer here is...no

Khan will trouble Floyd for a couple of rounds and will be ktfo around 7.

[Awesome-O]

Khan's weakness is punchers....as well as in-fighting, defense, footwork, brains, accuracy....actually almost everything besides speed and his jab is a weakness on the elite level.

There's a reason Floyd has been trying to cherry-pick him for so long. Khan doesn't have a chance in hell.

Donald Sterling has a better chance of being honored by the NAACP than Amir Khan does of being Floyd Mayweather.

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.

I 100% agrees with everything you said there, mate!.

No. Norton was elite. And Mayweather is better than post-jail Ali.

No. ...........
