Khan Turns Everyone Into A Pressure Fighter. Would He Do The Same to Floyd?

[sunny31]

No matter what style a fighter has, he turns every opponent into a pressure fighter within a couple of rounds, because they can't live with him at distance. There are a few exceptions, main one is Garcia, but even there I think it was starting to happen, but then Khan got caught anyway. After 1 round on Saturday, Collazo realised he couldn't live with him, so started to stalk Khan, but that isn't his game and he looked terrible and took a beating.

Floyd is a different level completely, but now this fight is a realistic possibility, how do you guys see it playing out? You know Khan will keep the fight at a distance, will Floyd opt to walk him down, like he did Judah? Or do you think he will try and counter him from the outside, or both?

I think like always, Floyd will give him a lot of different looks, but will he end up coming forward like the rest due to being forced into that strategy.

Khan over the weekend broke that myth that you could simply WALK HIM DOWN, people on here were saying boxers only have to walk Khan down, well they were wrong, because if you try to walk him down, you will be laid out on ur arse...

Collazo thought he could walk Khan down and found out he was trying to pin the tail on the donkey in the forest with blindfold on

A lot of people on here thought Collazo would be able to bully Khan.

Khan has never looked to great against guys the same size as him....and boyyyyyyyyyyyyy were they WRONG. Khan looked strong, very strong, no more weight issues, no more gaunt lookin Khan, he seemed like a mature man in the ring with a calmness about him

Floyd will struggle IMO to land on Khan, he will grow frustrated, as Khan lands quick rights and hooks to that old body and moves out of the way or clinches (something floyd like to do)

Lets see the Maidana rematch first then Khan can take another fight and learn even more before facing Mayweather in May 2015.

I think as Floyd gets older and Khan matures the fight is getting closer and closer. The main problem I see with Khan at the moment against Floyd is STAMINA. Khan becomes a bit ragged and loose defensively after 6-7 rounds. The only fighters I have seen who maintain posture and technique for the full 12 rounds is Mayweather and Pacquiao, who in their prime were both 15 round fighters in my opinion.
