Comments Thread For: Thurman: Khan Can Win Rounds, But Won't Beat Floyd

[FLYBOY]

Khan is the only guy with the tools to beat Floyd.

One problem with Khan is that he doesn't always bring his 100%. But when he brings his 100%, he demolishes his opponents.

If Khan brings his 100% against Floyd, it'd be the hardest night of Floyd's life. The winner of the fight will most likely be Floyd because he adjusts well but it'd be a very close win, maybe by a round or two. The fight could go in Khan's favour as well, assuming that he brings his 100%, and he could win by a round or two as well.

So, it's a very intriguing fight, and something that I'm sure everyone wants to see. Because everyone is tired of watching Floyd fight the same style over and over again.

What same style? You mean fast fighters? Everyone wanted him to fight Pacquiao, and he did.

And Khan wouldn't be competitive for more than 3 rounds. Like I said, he showed the same flaws he's always had in the Algieri fight.

What tools? Speed? Yeah, Khan's fast, but he doesn't have the smarts to enhance it. Garcia, Diaz, and Algieri timed him.

Reach? Floyd has the longer reach.

What are you on? Other than Pac, when was the last time Floyd fought a fast fighter?

Amir is faster than Pac, and has better a boxing skillset than Pac.

Floyd and Amir's reach is the same. Amir is taller at 5'10. Floyd is 5'8. Pac was 5'6.

Khan's not as good a boxer as Floyd.

Like I said, Khan was getting timed by Garcia, Diaz, and Algieri.

He also has no inside game, doesn't look comfortable on the back foot, and has poor defense.

Khan could win at least 6 rounds.. All he has to do is switch his rhythm and implement plan Bs and Cs like he did in his last 3 fights (and in various other fights). It could spell trouble for Floyd if that happens because when Khan's not fighting in predictable patterns (like he did against Garcia, Diaz etc..) he's almost impossible to outbox him. Floyd's only chance might be to stop Khan.

Implement plan B and C? When did he do that? He can't adjust, or at least not to the extent that Floyd can.

Khan got timed because he's predictable. It's just that in the Algieri fight, he was fighting someone who could time him.

Khan also seemed to have slowed down in the Algieri fight.

Also, Khan's head movement is nonexistent.

He weighs 151 on fight night, most 140lbers weigh more than that on fight night.

Back to the topic, every boxing analyst and opponent of Khan says that he doesn't give up many rounds even when he's hurt. of course boxing with Floyd is a bad idea but no one else will come as close to winning rounds as Khan as he has certain intangibles. Virgil Hunter has pretty much admitted Floyd wins but has said if Khan has the night of his career, he can do it.

Yes, some fight night weights:

Floyd: 151 (the highest we have seen)
GGG: 170
Ward: 174



Now GGG thinks that Floyd should move up and fight him, when there is a 19 pound difference, but Ward, who is a whole 4 pounds bigger, is TOO BIG and SCARY to fight. Ward is a god damn heavyweight if you listen to GGG and his people.

This is too ****** to discuss beyond Khan might win one or two rounds before doing his dance before the midway mark ...period , khan is crap !

[Monaco Slim]

Khan would beat him quite easily.
