Styles make fights. People refuse to look beyond the "glass chin" and the KO losses. Yes, Mayweather is on another level with his counter punching, but he too is aging and while timing beats speed (we get it) Khan too has improved since his Garcia loss and isn't as reckless. If anything Khan 2.0 has a better chance than Guerrero or Ortiz did. That's for sure.

Most haven't stepped in a gym let alone spar or box.How embarrassingly pathetic is it seeing nerds on the internet laugh at the opinion of a man who's actually been inside the ring with Mayweather?
Doesn't it just make ya feel like slapping yourself for being the sort of pathetic loser on a internet forum?
It does me.Comment

That is quite a silly comment. It is "styles make fights". Each case is different.Why would Khan's style trouble Floyd, but it hasn't troubled Maidana, Prescott, Diaz, Garcia etc... If Khan was all that, like his fans believe, he wouldn't have had any problems dispatching these lesser opponents. You guys want to constantly reference a style that has been getting sparked by much lesser fighters -- In fact B\C-Level fighters.
Yet, we're the one's who are being unrealistic and allowing our judgement to be clouded by Khan's fake persona.
That's the best joke I've heard today.
Using your logic why did Danny Garcia have trouble with a lesser fighter in Herrera when he was able to beat Matthysse convincingly? See what I mean?Last edited by Box-Office; 04-16-2015, 05:20 AM.Comment

I am curious BoxOffice...
Do you box?
Seriously I'd be interested in hear, I'm not trolling you.
The only reason I ask is that you spend ALOT of time posting about scenarios, triangle theories, Khan's greatness etc.
And at least 90% of what you write would indicate you are a 'superfan' of boxing and Amir Khan (nothing wrong with that BTW) but not much else.Comment

How many boxers has he fought? Weight drained Alvarez and an over the hill Mosley? Marquez had been forced to come up in weight and that was his first time coming up this far up.
If anything Khan is clearly a better fighter than Ortiz and Guerrero. Note I'm talking about the Ortiz coming off a Berto World title winning performance and at the pinnacle of his career, I think the present Khan is even better than that. Same with Guerrero.
Also you can't neglect Mayweather is aging. Sure he is not crumbling, but you can't possibly say it doesn't matter at all.Last edited by Box-Office; 04-16-2015, 05:31 AM.Comment

I would hesitate to refer to either Mosely or Alvarez as pure boxers. At best they're boxer-punchers. The best pure boxer Mayweather fought was Zab Judah which was almost ten years ago.How many boxers has he fought? Weight drained Alvarez and an over the hill Mosley?

Even with Marquez he is on another level with his counter punching, but he isn't a pure boxer. Given the amount of punishment he absorbs in some fights or has done so in order to get the opponent's range right. Especially Diaz 1. Point being that close enough.
It also depends on your definition.Comment
