I think we can all agree, Amir Khan is a bigger threat to TBE then GGG.

[just the facts]

Floyd would get his first KTFO in many years against Khan, and he won't have to pull an Ortiz cheap shot to do it.

GGG would put Floyd in the ICU, and everyone knows it.

Based on what? That long list of murderous punchers and elite boxers on GGGs resume? GTFOH

You are negating the fact that top-tier boxers overcome styles and aren't side-tracked by them. Speculation, conjecture and wishful thinking have a place in some sports, boxing isn't one of them.

Tyson-Douglas? Or was he not top tier?

I think combat sports are perfect for wishful thinking. Where else can you be a nobody brought in as a sacrificial lamb, but end up KOing the heavy favorite in a World Championship? You could be losing every second of the fight and land a strike in the last 10 seconds and win. How often would that happen in say the NBA? After a certain point you give up hope.

Khan is missing essential experience that would prepare him for elite level opponents. Mainly because he has made a career of fighting retiring, and C-Level opponents.

How many A-level fighters did Ortiz, Guerrero or Maidana beat to prepare for Mayweather? Thing is you can't prepare for Mayweather.

However, I don't agree Khan is bigger threat than GGG, but he is certainly a threat.

Based on what exactly?????

- Khan doesn't have the discipline and can be counted on to undermine whatever success he may have
- Khan doesn't have the ring IQ
- Khan will try to box Floyd ........ Critical mistake!!!!
- If Khan historically struggles with lesser opponents constantly, then I ask again, how does he all of a sudden pull a rabbit out of the hat?

It is completely mind-boggling how wishful thinking colors peoples view among boxing's fan base. It is also bizarre how so-called boxing fans still haven't become students of the game and can sense the BS match-ups in advance.

I'm guessing the detractors can start accumulating their excuses why Khan shouldn't have been in the ring with Floyd in the first place .... now!!!!

Against Collazo and Alexander, Khan was very disciplined and demonstrated high ring IQ. The Khan now training under Virgil Hunter isn't the same as the Khan who trained under Roach. Under Roach, Khan was a more offensive fighter like Pacquiao, but under Virgil, Khan is a more defensive fighter like Andre Ward.

Boxing experts have been saying Khan is a threat to Mayweather for a long time, including the likes of Ricky Hatton, Paulie Malignaggi, Oscar De La Hoya, Al Bernstein, and even Floyd Mayweather Sr. They've all mentioned how Khan's faster hand speed, quicker jabs, taller height, punch accuracy and range control make him a big threat to Floyd.

Also, that triangle theory argument is a fallacy, the kind I'd expect from casual fans. Khan may have struggled before against heavy punchers, but he's never been troubled by technical boxers. Fact is that Khan has never been outboxed. Mayweather is a technical boxer, not a heavy puncher, so Khan vs Mayweather would be a pure boxing match between two technical boxers who have never been outboxed before. Styles make fights.

TBE smokes GGG, the fans deserve the Khan fight!!

Let's make it happen Floyd, prove the haters wrong again and fight the best out there!

What exactly makes Kahn the best out there? He isn't even the best welterweight in england. Brooke is better.

I agree, GGG is flat footed and slow, Floyd would beat him easy.

Khan offers more, he is faster, has just as long reach as floyd if not slightly longer, moves a lot, throws combos from long range and get out, and is active, and he has a great trainer in Virgil Hunter who will get him ready.

GGG is slow and just has power, Khan offers more difficulty.

GGG is just slow and will get pot shotted as Floyd rolls under and out.

You think GGG is a slow plodding fighter?...

[Noy]

May + Pac showed that money can neutralize volume punching easily. Watch the Castillo fight with May and then realize that GGG is right now the biggest threat that will never happen.

Khan has beaten 8 world champions, whereas Brooke has only beaten 1 world champion. Also, the bookmakers have Khan down as the clear favourite in a Khan-Brooke fight. Brooke will always be second best in the UK.

I agree with this.
