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

[-DSG-]

King khan gives Floyd the fight of his life better believe it!

[wlliam]

I agree with Al. Khan has two arms!

Of course you agree with him. However, on the contrary EVERYONE is a threat to Khan, hes fresh meat on the 147 scene. do you really think Khan can do what PAC COULDNT? Sept 13th youll be right back here crying..do you really wanna put urself through that again? Now i ask, do you really want the fight? Or would you rather Floyd fight Thurman so you can say hes ducking Khan? Now, do you want the fight?

[wlliam]

Not happening. Algieri stops Khan in a battle of attrition..im expecting a Gatti-Ward like WAR with both climbing off the canvas! War Algieri!

I think the biggest thing for me his Khan speed and range, and now he isn't as dumb like before. TBE would still win anyway but I see this as an exciting fight.

Boxing experts were saying Khan is the only fighter capable of beating Mayweather long before the Pacquiao fight. Even if Pac is a better fighter than Khan, Pac's style is not a threat to Mayweather, whereas Khan's style is a genuine threat to Mayweather. Casual fans need to stop relying on the "triangle theory" nonsense and start realizing that styles make fights.

Im not a casual, far from it. On the surface and on paper i can see where Khan looks like a "threat" but this is Floyd were talkn about. Floyd can get Khan to step into range and counter him, if not Floyd will engage and force Khan to fight, before steppin back and countering. Floyd has too much depth and based on the level of comp Khans facing, floyd wouldnt get credit. a floyd-khan fight is irrelevant bcuz Algieri stops Khan in the 1st anyway. In all honesty i dont care who Floyd fights in Sept.

Doubt Floyd would get in the ring with the King. A fighter who controls range extremely well, has faster hands, equal foot speed, higher work rate, more height but equal reach. Stylistically Khan is lil Floyds nightmare hence he picked Maidana even though he lost the poll.

[salitap4p#1]

Khan's speed and equal reach will give Floyd problems.

I doubt enough to win. But certainly a competitive fight

[wlliam]

We seen floyd against alotta stylez and he always found a way to win. I think someones who is patient and doesnt show their hand too early can catch Floyd. Like Andy Lee for instance.

How did Khan become a king?

That being said. I would like to see this fight. I think khan can box well enough to make it a fun fight and offer Floyb the opportunity to get a ko as well.
