    Everyone mentions the jab, but all the guys that had success had the jab as a supplement to their PRESSURE.

    We saw what Floyd did to a fighter who isn't elite at applying pressure on May 2nd. Amir is even ****ter at putting on the pressure.

    I doubt Floyd would give him the chance to put on pressure. Amir will be cluelesss when Floyd outjabs him
    True this. Everyone who gave Floyd a run had a great jab. Ive been preaching this. Great point by bring up the pressure. Jab and pressure have been key to bringing a fight to Floyd. Khan will try to box from range and at this very moment hes already lost that fight. Thing is, if Alexander knew what a check hook was he couldve had more success against Khan and i see Floyd actually dropping Khan with one, maybe even KOing him which isnt far fetched at all.

      If Khan tries to box Mayweather he is going to get destroyed.

      Do people stop and think about how silly it sounds to say, "A good boxer will give Mayweather troubles" It's laughable, look at every single one of his 48 fights, even the close ones, what has happened 100% of the time when someone stood back and tried to box with him? They got embarrassed because no one has ever come close to matching his pure boxing skills in his career.

      I know people don't realize how devastating of a punch it is, but Mayweather's jab to the mid section will utterly wreck Khan's entire rhythm he needs to attempt to stick and move. That will throw him off and he'll have to lunge in where he'll get countered with hard rights and left hooks.

        The Mayweather jab to the solar plexus is the best punch in boxing today.

          Americans should be happy - Britain gave them the modern version of the sport.

          They do like to bastardise the sport and pass it off a "Skills" though

            I believe what Hatton is saying. Mayweather is a pure boxer and genius in outboxing different styles. But he is not a power puncher. Kahn has never been outboxed by someone who is not known to punch hard. In fact he has dominated all those fights. (Kotelnik, Pauli)

                  Well who has Outboxed Khan in the past???


                  Yes, Nobody..


                  Khan can actually beat Floyd IMO, stylistically Khan is a threat, whether people like it or not..

                    Khan's not on Floyd's level in terms of boxing skill.

                      How can you say that??

                      Khan has excellent boxing skills IMO.


                      Remember he won a Medal at the age of 17 in Olympics, so he sure knows how to box..
