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

[Dirk Diggler UK]

What jab does Khan has? What defense does Khan have ()? Dude's chin is pure China. His footwork is bad. And having fast hands means what, exactly?

It means you're more likely to land punches?

Khan has a great jab. His defence isn't great, I'd say its better than Marcos Maidana's though. He can get in and out of range better because he has fast feet.

The chin issue is less of one against a pure boxer with moderate power. Not saying Floyd couldn't KO him but it's less likely obviously.

I remember Mayweather's toughest fight. Came against the ultra-quick and glass-chinned Jose Luis Castillo. This is the style Floyd struggles with.

As I stated, it's not if you win or lose, but how well you look doing it.
Angulo looked good in a lost against Lara. Cotto looked good in his lost to Floyd, looked bad against Trout, but then came back and looked sensational against Rodriguez. (albeit it a limited Rodriguez)

My position is a simple one. Very good arguments can be made that Floyd, Martinez, and Canelo are the best fighters in their respective divisions. I can confidently say Maidana is one of the top 10 welterweights in boxing. I can't confidently say Cotto is one of the best middleweights in boxing. And I can't confidently say Angulo is one of the top 10 jr middleweights in boxing. That alone in my mind makes him the more legit opponent.

How long have you got?

His resume is littered with guys who are slow and flat footed and have no jabs and not much defence.

Canelo, Guerrero, Ortiz, Cotto (jab but slow) Oscar (jab but slow), Mosley (fast for a couple of rounds, ZERO jab), Hatton etc etc

A better question would be who has he faced with genuine speed of hand and foot. Or who has he faced that's actually got a jab.

Are you actually suggesting that Maidana isn't completely tailor made for Mayweather?

WHen ODH and Mosley were fast they didn't choose to fight floyd likely because he didn't bring anything to the table financially.

Zab had plenty of speed, he just clearly lacks stamina and focus.

The thing is. If Floyd had chose Khan. That "portion of the fanbase" would be saying Floyd chose the guy with a glass jaw and no quality wins at welterweight over the guy that just showed he could beat "the Mayweather style."

If a posters main objective is criticizing floyd when he/she logs on you shouldn't expect to see anything positive about his opposition.

Accentuate the opponents negatives-a proven NSB srategy to criticize any fighter, but especially floyd.

What does Garcia have to do with anything? He crushed Amir as well.

Maidana is not an easier fight than Khan. Maidana would stop Khan if they were to fight tomorrow.

Khan couldn't stop Fossil Julio but Mayweather's health comes first against Khan? You can not be serious.

This thread has Garcias name right? idiot

Khan crushed Maidana and ur point is what?

Garcia saying Khan poses more problems for Floyd than Maidana, given he's had experience in the ring with one of them

Why are u so mad? lol

Garcias opinion>>ur opinion

Floyd Safetyweather took the easier option, there is no way to hide that fact

When you say slow, do you mean slow compared to Mayweather? Because DLH was not a slow fighter, and Cotto has some speed as well. Are they as fast as Mayweather, no! But very few fighters actually are. I doubt Khan is as fast as Mayweather.

I mean slow as in they're slow. So yes quite significantly slower than Mayweather. Khan is faster, Floyd has better timing.

I don't remember Marcos having much trouble with Khan "moving in and out of range" with his (Marcos) "slow" footwork. But Khan moved like hell when he was hurt though.

Well he had plenty of trouble since he lost almost all of the first 9 rounds. Khan got sloppy as he tends to do and got caught. I don't think Mayweather is capable of hurting him badly with a single shot like that.

lol@Khan having no jab

wtf, dumb Floyd fanboys

Khans jab is one of his best assets

Mad about what? All they are doing is hyping up Garcia's KO against Khan. It doesn't take a neurologist to figure that out.

Garcia even said himself he ain't got no chin

It doesn't take a neurologist to see that Marcos Maidana was selected to make Mayweather look good and that Khan would present him with far more to think about.

The Garcia's aren't the only ones who've said this.

Maidana would spark Khan if they fought tomorrow. Mayweather would spark Khan if they fought tomorrow.
