Comments Thread For: Danny Garcia: Khan is a Harder Fight For Mayweather

[FeFist]

Khan should improve his Welterweight resume. If he can get a win over 2 or three Welterweights ( let us say Thurman, Alexander and Brook) complaints could not be made against him fighting Mayweather. The issue is that he doesn't have momentum going in his favour, nor does he have a good Welterweight resume.

More casual fans across the world know who Amir Khan is.

Everyone knows Maidana is an easier style for Mayweather. He's basically made a career of looking good against these types of opponent.

Who are these fighters he's made a career out of beating. Like, examples.

Those that are arguing FOR Khan like to ignore this. I mean, I really do not get it. What has he done lately? Not only that, but since they like Khan they want him to fight Floyd, but if it's another fighter that hasn't "done anything" lately, they rip said fighter for even being mentioned with Mayweather. It's been hilarious and I'm glad that Khan missed out.

Apparently, the guy with these "super fast hands" and a glass chin that hasn't had a solid win in a while has this style that would give Mayweather fits or trouble. But only a portion of fans seem to feel this way. I mean, I've read it about it for the last couple months on here. And, it's laughable. Very.

They've got nothing left. Let them get their last few fantasies in.

Garcia is absolutely right!! Which is why Mayweather selected Maidana.
Everyone hates on Khan but he would bring somehing that Mayweather has not dealt with in a while.

I'm not saying Khan wins bt he brings a different dynamic and he's not gonna stand right in front of Floyd and come straight at him trying to pressure him and land a big shot.

Like Danny said he's tall with long arms uses his jab, has fast hands and can box and move. He also has power in his punches, and there is no threat in him being knocked out.

I'm not saying Khan would win but like Danny said he would pose more of a problem to Floyd, and Floyd is not trying to deal with that.

So he selected Maidana which I like but in all reality he is flat footed, comes straight forward, doesn't try to get out of the way of anything and will wing wide shots in the hopes of landing something big.

Taylor made for Floyd, there is a reason he fights these types of fighters, it's all about low risk for him. As soon as Maidana name was dropped into the conversation Khan had no shot. Typical Floyd, not surprised and I will not waste my money on this fight.

I'ss save it for Martinez vs Cotto & Canelo vs Angulo, at least I'll get my moneys worth.

So let me get this straight. Cotto hasn't beaten a legitimate opponent since Clottey at 147. And he arguably didn't win that one. Yet, him moving up to challenge the middleweight champ is a better match-up than Floyd-Maidana.

Angulo quit his last time out. And hasn't beaten a legitimate jr middleweight in god knows how long. Yet he's a legitimate opponent for arguably the best fighter in the division. But Maidana isn't for Floyd.

Not telling you how to spend your money. But the fights you mentioned are probably worse mismatches that Floyd-Maidana. And the "opponenet" in both of those is far less deserving than Chino.

Actually Cotto beating Foreman was a decent win. The odds were pretty close that fight.

Oh yea, I know. But they legit think that Khan was ducked. I refuse to read about that nonsense for the next 2-3 months until Khan loses or looks average again.

[Roy Jones Jnr]

I think we can all agree that Maidana deserved the fight over Khan but on who the tougher fight would be for Mayweather out of the two it's quite obviously Amir Khan.

I'm not going to argue with you over Floyd's opponent because I think Maidana was a better option than Khan.

However you claim Cotto hasn't beat a legit opponent, but that doesn't mean he is still not a great fighter. Remember he gave Floyd the toughest fight of his career.
And Angulo, while he quit, it wasn't like he was getting completely dominated in the fight and quit, like Dawson in his Ward fight. Angulo was a very live dog in there, actually dropping his opponent twice.

Schaffer said it best when he said sometimes it's not if you win or lose, but how you look. Khan won his last fight but looked terrible doing so.
