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

[Dirk Diggler UK]

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

Yup like he was going to "spark" him the first time

he's right,khan would have been a bit harder to defeat,so what if people say he has no chin,maidana has no defense,maidana is just a come forward fighter with no speed or footwork,khan would have made if harder for Floyd,another fighter Floyd faces that's just a stand in front of you type of fighter,would like to see hm face Thurman,that guy moves pretty good and is fast,but Floyd will always come up with excuses like nobody knows him

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

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

If he wanted to look good, he'd taken Khan. An opponent he could KO.

It doesn't take a neurologist to see that you're backing your guy based on the fact you're from the UK, even though your argument is baseless.

Khan can be deadly when he's on point, underrated body puncher and the setup was beutiful



Floyds gonna have such a easy time with Maidana

His feet are so fast that even he can't handle them. What chance would Mayweather have?

I am a Khan fan but a realist at the same time. Khan did not deserve this fight. His last two fights were supposed to be tune up's but both were rocky, especially Diaz. On the flip side, boxing is not about who deserved a shot anymore, its about how lucrative an option you are. As for Floyd fearing opposition, if that was the case would he have not ducked Canelo? Floyd beats both Maidana and Khan with ease. As for Khan posting more problems, get out of here! At least Maidana has that game changer waiting in case Floyd takes it easy. Khan doesnt have that, so Maidana for me is the more risky fight for Floyd, anyone who thinks Khan could outbox the purest boxer of his generation is insane. The only person who can beat Floyd is himself.

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.

khan has zero defense if you follow through on one of his combos. he is stiff from the waist up and backs in a straight line with his gloves up if you catch him. he relies completely on distance while maidana can slip punches and move his body to a rhythm if he has to, it's basic but it's much better than what khan does which basically is eat punches off the ropes.

So fast his gloves and arms are trying to catch up to them just on instinct alone !

Pretty much. Khan's guard is terrible
