Comments Thread For: SHO's Bernstein: Khan is Legit Threat in Mayweather Bout

[ussy]

Mayweather makes fast fighters look so slow. It's not speed alone in this fight, it's the height and reach so Khan would have the best chance out of the current crop of fighters to beat Floyd but I still don't think he will.

I think these 3 you mentioned outweighed Floyd when they fought. strength-wise they edged Floyd, imo!

Khan weighed 165 against Devon

[whatismyname]

Ha ha ha. How could you say mr bernstein that khan is legit threat in mayweather bout. For me there is no threat on mayweather except manny pacquiao. Khan has been knock out cold by danny garcia maybe danny garcia will be the threat to mayweather than khan.
YOU CAN'T SALE THAT FIGHT MAYWEATHER VS KHAN

Khan aint never been knocked the **** out like Pac was though..and after that **** fight that was floyd-pac, khan needs to show people how its suppoused to be done

[heathen]

Khan is barley a threat to Algeri. Al, let Mayweather punch you in the face and see how soft he punches. Khan needs to fight Brook or Thurman.

[DuttyAlacrity]

Would Khan win?

Unless we see more of that dragon brother naazim told us about yes I think Kahn would win

Don't know where people get the idea that Khan can outbox Floyd.

Mayweather will school him easy. His handspeed will be neutralized. Floyds hands are slower but his reflexes are faster and his control of space and positioning will negate Khans hands and reach. Khans defense is leaky, he tightened it up but thats only working on the B/c level guys hes fought, Floyd will find gaps. Khan wont be able to handle floyds foot work and he will get killed on the inside as well.


Floyds handspeed also matters, he will be the fastest guy khan has faught, khan has fast hands but does he have the reflexes to slip floyd's counters? most likely not.

Hes miles ahead of khan in terms of skill. He doesnt need faster hands, all he needs to do is slip/parry khans punches and land his counters. He knows how to use footwork, the jab ect to setup khan into positions where he will be open for counters.

He gets his opponent in the space/position he wants and from there he can anticipate the most likely punch the guy is going to throw or in some cases the only logical option they have of throwing, in slow motion you can see he starts moving before the other guy even throws the punch, thats how he can slip guys with such fast hands.

Glad Berstein threw that last part in there, about Hearns chin. Khan lacks one of those, with Khan moving forward, MW don't have to hit hard, forward momentum is going to do the job for him.

Ive always liked Khans skill set
