Comments Thread For: Smith: Mayweather Edges Pacquiao, Figures Out Khan

[Real Talk85]

Agreed.

After a Khan fight, we'd probably hear Khan talk about how easy it was up until the 5th rounds where Floyd began taking over. He'd probably claim that his shoulder or hand was injured and he slowed down. That a fully healthy Khan would have easily beaten Floyd. When it was really because Floyd figured him out and began making him miss and get discouraged as he picks him off.

I think Khan would be tough for Floyd, but gummy bear Floyd is so relaxed and he allows himself the mental and physical capacity to figure his opponent out later in the fight when he needs to. I almost think that he spends the first quarter of fights relaxed and just testing what his opponent does, how they react, how hard they hit, their timing, etc. Then after they are lulled into that sense of security, Mayweather begins executing what HE does best (left left hooks, straight right hands, jabs and rights to the body, etc) with the timing needed.

Floyd rarely changes his style. He simply sticks to the punches and combinations he likes, but makes sure they are timed well and executed at the right time for his opponents.

Floyd switches when he has to. Most boxers don't change up they stick to a gameplan so Floyd won't change up unless he is forced, i.e. Judah, Maidana, or Mosley. Look at all the different looks he gave Canelo, he confused the hell out of him.

Floyd is going to knock pacquiao down a time or two b/c he will be hitting him way to clean way to often...pacquiao is the smaller fighter and floyd knockdown every his size or smaller(hatton, marquez, & judah was about to go but he cheated lol)....and floyd hits khan with way to many clean shots for khan to remain standing...trust me floyd has pop its just hard to show when your always the smaller guy in the ring..i thought he was about to drop cotto
