Comments Thread For: Khan: Mayweather is a Little Older, He Looks Beatable

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Amir Khan immediately shifted his focus towards Floyd Mayweather after earning a lopsided decision victory over the dangerous Luis Collazo. Many observers feared Khan had bitten off more than he could chew by agreeing to face former world champion and veteran welterweight campaigner Collazo on his bow in the 147lb division.

Yet the Bolton fighter - whose last bout was in April 2013, when he struggled badly against the lightly regarded Julio Diaz - showed his class in Las Vegas by knocking down the rugged southpaw three times en route to a unanimous decision victory.

Anyone who's saying Khan would beat Floyd is crazy.

Floyd wasn't outboxed, he was mugged, lowblows, headbutts, and a knee and a 17 pound weight advantage (148 to 165 ).

Khan Vs Money would be boxing. And he's still the best BOXER in the world

He's not a better boxer than Floyd. He got swarmed, not outboxed and dominated. He didn't look slow to me either. He just didn't have time to think. Once he started to control the tempo he looked fast and his reflexes were still there. I saw some shots missing by a hair per usual with Floyd

P.S

Im impressed with Money;s chin. Im sold on it actually. It's solid. He got hit with a couple of good shots and took it like a G.






Maidana had Khan and Broner in full Bambi mode.

I would love to see Khan actually try to outbox Floyd from the outside.

Maidana would've had him doing the Bambi Dance if they had fought last night.

I wouldn't mind seeing Khan's speed against Mayweather.

That or a Maidana rematch are fine, lots of options for Floyd.

Quite comical to see people first talking about Collazo retiring Khan and now its Collazo is a washed up bum.

Floyd beats Maidana in a tough competitive fight = he's old, he lost, Maidana is a monster !

Had Floyd used his legs and won lopsided = Maidana was a bum anyway, a cherry pick.

Khan struggles vs Diaz = Khan is a bum and needs to shut up about calling Mayweather out

Khan dominates Collazo = That's why Floyd ducked him.

Boxing fans are the best in the world man I tell you.

I watched the fight for the third time and the more I watch it the more punches Maidana is missing. I got it 117-111 for Floyd. Right after the fight I had Maidana winning, but I was just going off the excitement and adrenaline of seeing such an entertaining fight and seeing Floyd "vulnerable" for the first time since the Cotto fight. Then afterwards, I sat down with a clear head, no beers, no friends around, and watched it closely solely focusing on clean effective LEGAL punches, and Mayweather washed him up, easy. On the ropes Maidana was hitting hips, shoulders, back of the head, thighs, an occasional clean punch would get through but not enough to win no round, Floyd was picking him off with crispy counters, that stiff jab to the belly landed all night, the lead right was a laser and the defense was remarkable, those windmills were not landing. I stopped respecting Compubox stats after the Hopkins - Calzaghe bout so I don't take that into consideration. This was an easy win that seemed difficult for one reason, we're not used to seeing Floyd flat footed and ****ing toe to toe with his opponent. But in a rematch all Floyd would do is use footwork, keep it in the middle of the ring and wipe him out even further. Floyd is about to cash in on idiot fans and triple what he made on a rematch.

I'll hand it to Khan - at least he's passionate about fighting Floyd. In fact, you can probably call it an obsession. I wish Pacquiao had that kind of desire. I mean Khan's working 24/7 to get the fight made. If Pac was putting in half of that effort we might have already seen the super fight.

Yes, Floyd is beatable. But the problem is, Khan, you are even more beatable! You talk like his flaws are bigger than yours. Unbelievable.

Add to the fact that Floyd is 37. While Khan is 27. A 27 year old Floyd wipes out a 27 year old Khan. And a 37 year old Floyd, outclasses a 27 year old Khan.

Amir could present an interesting fight but he's gotta work real hard to fix the issue with eating rights..he's just too f'ing prone to it. I mean he's the heavier man with equal reach..does he have it in him to endure 12 rounds or however it lasts? Khan has skills but damn it if he can't manage to patch the holes in his game, he started off right with Collazo but then got sloppy at certain points. He let Collazo sneak in a right on him that rocked him, the three knock downs were nice but many people were looking to see what adjustments he's made and while he's fighting smarter he's just got this ability to let his guard down.

Dont put too much blame on pac. Even if he exert all his efforts, Hundreds of reasons from Floyd will still be on the surface. Besides, Khan has all the reason to be obsessed to floyd. And he is no where near Floyd & Pac's status worldwide. Im begining to think that he is honding on to Boxing only for Floyd. While Pac still fine, making huge money every fight.
There is a huge difference between Floyd, Pac & Amir.

Floyd: Boxer-Counter Puncher / Businessman
Pac: Boxer-Puncher / Politician
Amir: Boxer-Whiner / Glass-Chin man
