Comments Thread For: Nelson: Amir Khan's Style is All Wrong For Mayweather

[Jayallday9]

Nelson is right thought...Pacman is NOT going to be as much of a challenge as Khan will be and I say its a 50/50 fight...Khan is very capable of beating Floyd and making him look old and even though he does have a glass chin, Floyd is not strong enough to break that glass and with Amir's height,power,speed, and great boxing skills, he probably beats Floyd now that May is on the way out...

Floyd has fought much harder punchers than Khan.

Khan can't outbox Floyd.

Khan would potentially outbox Floyd. One thing is for sure, he would be a nightmare for Floyd. This is why Floyd will never fight Khan. The sad thing is, Floyd will spin it, "he not good, he got Garcia problems, he just want paycheck." No class.

Khan moves way too much and is way too fast. Some people don't realise what a great boxer Khan is, and with Hunter, he could be better than ever.

Khan isn't on Floyd's level. All he has is speed.

a former UK champion and analyst of sky sports says khan presents trouble to floyd, please, tell me more....

Yeah, think about that for a moment

Khan presents trouble for everyone prior to the fight, then some twist of fate kicks in during the fight and Khan struggles. Against C-level opponents he barely gets a win, he gets KO'ed against B-Level opponents and he has never fought an Elite opponent..

Now, out of the clear blue .... He can do something he has never done before

All of Khan's best wins are over B-level guys. Judah, Malignaggi, Maidana, and Kotelnik.

Floyd is not the same fighter he is, at all. He is a shell of the fighter he used to be.

He is prime for the taking. And fights are always about matchups.

Every fighter alive, once they age, they are beatable, and in the eras when fighters were forced to face all the top competition for an extended period, well, they have all lose. Every single fighter.

Floyd has remained undefeated by careful matchmaking. He will not fight Khan. Khan is the worst possible style of opponent for Floyd at this time in his career.

Frankly, any version of Floyd will find Khan tough, just the style of the fight, and the fact that Khan, despite what people say, is an incredible boxer, who has shut out very very good boxers such as Kotelnik, and Paulie easier than any other opponent.

There is a reason why many of the retired greats are saying Khan is tough for Floyd, perhaps too tough. I think they know what they are talking about more than NSB randoms.

FLoyd is a better boxer than Paulie or Kotelnik. MUCH better.

I don't see what Khan offers other than speed. I don't see him as this master boxer.

Khan will be the fastest fighter Mayweather has ever fought in his lifetime if Mayweather ever fights Khan. Khan has exceptional speed and workrate, I honestly don't see Floyd handling Khan too well.

Khan isn't on Floyd's level. He'll just adapt in the fight and beat Khan.

Work rate doesn't win rounds, effective aggression does.

Khan only has speed. That's not enough.
