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

... Ten years younger; accurate boxing style and... speed!!!

Tell me just when was the last time FMJr fought a young speedy boxer?

Accurate? I don't think so. Floyd is more accurate.

On the contrary, any style...ANY..is all wrong for Khan. The entire division is gunning for that chin too..why do you think hes staying away from Brook, thurman, & why he chose devon over porter?

Oh yeah i forgot "khan fast doe"...well then put him in with GGG if hes so damn "deserving" & entitled

Khan has a chin, don't worry about that. Does anyone who has been knocked out have no chin?

As i have said before, Thurman is a no one as is Porter. Khan is in a league above those fighters in terms of his draw with the public and the money he brings to the table. Brook fight is there for Khan no matter what.

He KOs Devon and beats Floyd "ponzi scheme" Mayweather.

Seriously, other than speed, what does Khan have to offer Floyd?

Someone please answer my question. All I hear about Khan is his speed.

very true, khan is fast but what else does he have to offer? As garcia showed, timing can nullify speed and Mayweather is master of timing. Khan's "new" strategy of "flurry then hold" won't work against Mayweather either imo.

If khan beats Alexander - and that is only an "if" - he should have to fight (and beat) Brook, and bring a title, in order to get Mayweather.

Power, footwork, devastating combos. A fit wife.

Power? Khan's power is decent at best. Let's not act like he's the second coming of Julian Jackson.

Almost KOd Maidana. Who else has done that. Got rid of Judah, Garcia lost to him. Can go on and on and on.

Garcia beat Khan, you idiot.

Judah got KTFO by Kostya Tszyu.

garcia is similar to marquez in the sense that he'll stand his ground to land a counter(which is usually a bomb)

floyd would never throw a punch like marquez(short overhand) or garcia(GARSH)

khan could easily get picked apart at long range while he's trying to do his best "technical boxer" impression, but floyd isn't countering with anything special when khan is jumping in with those combos, an occasional slap hook after khans last punch perhaps but for the most part i dont think he'll find an opportunity to safely counter and thus wont punch, just go on the defensive and/or retreat

but when khan resides on the outside and tries any funny sht like jabbing and circling he's gonna get popped

with that said, im not that familiar with khan's new style, i've stopped paying attention to him

Beat Maidana via decision, stopped zab with a speciously low punch and was knocked out by Garica in 4 .....AM sure you can go on and on , you do but these are the facts!

Don't twist my words. I didn't compare accuracies here...

My argument still stands as you didn't give a an answer for the question "when was the last time FMJr fought a young speedy boxer (i.e. with an accurate boxing style)?"
