Comments Thread For: Roach: Khan Has The Right Style To Beat Mayweather

[Evol]

Weird coming from Roach at this point... Does he have the speed to trouble Mayweather some? Suuure. Does he have the power to do anything significant with it? I do not think so.

u dont need to have power to win a fight, floyd basically beats his opponents on points, amir can do the same, im not saying he's gonna beat floyd all im saying is u dont always need to have power to win.

well lets be fair here lets forget if he deserves it or not anymore with ppv fighters it dont matter its about the money pac is the same way and khan brings most of any gbp fighter arguably right now. we all know come forward brawler types even come forward boxers like canelo have little to no chance against floyd everyone thinks you have to over power floyd but it just dont work. At the very least we will get to see how floyd does against speed. Do i think khan will win hell no do i think khan will possibly make it a more entertaining fight then canelo or guerrero yes. khan has the ability to use movement and fight on the outside. will he be patient enough i doubt it he will try to exchange at some point but u never know it could shock us all and actually be a entertaining fight. lets be honest here who else should he fight in gbp? maidana has to fight broner u want garcia? thurman? porter? those fights will be way better a year down the road. i think the real problem here is floyd haters also hate khan lol they dont want to see either win the fight so lets just get this khan fight out of the way and enjoy it for what it is because after khan its going to be maidana broner thurman or garcia all of which will be better in a year and will be bigger names and hell have 3 fights left to do it mayweather will fight a few more fights that people will be really excited for.
Im not trying to defend the decision to fight khan but if he does oh well its not the end of the world 5 months later it will be someone better and besides he just fought canelo give the guy a break

True but Floyd has a fair amount of power, because he's an amazing counter puncher. Countering is it's own power...and with that he'll torch Khan. I don't have Khan seeing the 9th round. Once he starts getting timed up if he doesn't shell which he's unlikely to do....he's going down.

Let's bet some points. What odds you want?

50 mill Khan goes the distance and does better than Cotto.

I actually just had a dream last night about this fight and early in the fight Floyd knocked Khan down then soon after that Khan caught Mayweather with a shot that knocked Floyd down and out. Was shocking that Floyd would not get up and afterwards Floyd didn't even seem like he cared and just left. Weird...

That said, I don't see this happening in real life and I see Floyd winning, but after that dream and with hype like what Roach just threw out, etc, I must admit that I am more intrigued by this fight now than I was when it was announced. If nothing else, Khan will bring a dimension of speed and reach Floyd hasn't seen in a while which could make for a very interesting fight....until Khan gets in trouble at some point.

Now all you dumb b*tches can suck my d!ck. I told you this sh^t way way back and most of you were throwing a tantrum like a teenage period-having b^tch. Those idiots need to stop watching boxing and go watch beach volleyball.

Khan has the tools to give Mayweather one of the best fights of his career, if he comes in fully prepared, conditioned and sticks to an adaptable game plan.

put it this way, i havent seen floyd drop anyone in years except for ortiz which was a cheap shot, atleast with amir he was able to drop guys like judah, maidana, etc. now please stop with this power talk because both these guys are pretty much equal in power.

Khan will shock the world..

[H.B.Viper]

All things being equal in this crazy world of ours

it can be done!
Listen, Buster Douglas had the perfect style to beat Kid Dynamite.
Michael Spinks for one night became a track star to beat Qaui.
Oliver McCall was properly instructed by Manny Steward to land the perfect counter to LL.
Swift fought the perfect fight to smother, & neutralize the "Machine".
Ali knew Foreman had stamina issues, and executed his plan to perfection.
And last, but not least, El-Chino followed Robert Garcia's blueprint on how to solve the "Problem".
With all that being said, Khan has the ability, the speed, the skills to win, but his brain farts are legendary.

been seeing lots of trainers and fighters interested in how this fight will play out, and some that even give khan somewhat of a chance (roach, rjj, paulie m, swift, robert garcia , bradley...)
The people i see trashing this fight are fans, journalists who've never boxed (rafael) and bitter fighters who either lost to Khan or floyd (robert guerrero, zab, victor ortiz)
I personally, like most people, dont see Floyd ever losing, but besides a fight w/ Pac or bradley which cant happen and maybe thurman or ortiz down the line - i think Khan is honestly the best fight we can get and will most definitely be the most entertaining.
Not too sure why fans are so concerned w/ who is deserving of a fight.
