Comments Thread For: Floyd Mayweather: Timing Was Not Right For Amir Khan Bout

[Deevel916]

When you have 2 options, and you choose the one that brings in less money and does less ppv buys, then it's a duck.

Why else would Floyd purposely choose to make less money other than the fact that he felt Khan was a risky fight and decided to duck him?

floyd only fought ghost bc he just got out of jail and was looking for an easy fight..it was a tune up...bad on his resume, but understandable

not really; Ghost was the mandatory challenger, but there wasn't really any other marketable fight to consider.

If Khan had defeated Garcia, he would've been the WBA/WBC/Ring champion, on a heck of a run since the Prescott beating, and would've been a UK attraction to boot. Floyd pays the step-aside money, gives Guerrero a spot on his show as chief support, and takes the far more marketable fight.

The only reason the timing is wrong is becuz Khan is in his PRIME!

Do people honestly think Khan could outbox Floyd?

Anyone who starts their argument with "Lmao" is ******ed and not worth paying attention to. Ignored and red K. Thanks.

49-0

Ignored?? Nobody gives a **** about you bro.

he could have bowed out without fighting again. its not like they would have taken his money or thrown him in jail if he didn't fight lol. he just wanted an easy 30 million against an easy opponent. don't twist it like he had to fight. showtime would have preferred that he didn't fight since they lost a lot of money.

but if he didnt fight and if he ever chose to come back he would be limited to 30 million..do u hear him talkin abou the crazy numbers he has been offered for 1 more fight?? it was a business move..and showtime didnt lose a penny the pac fight covered his contract times 5 lol

it aint a huge deal..tfh..floyd resume could use a ghost or two or three..hell im sure the greats he beat wished he beats ghost twice instead of them once ya know...so w/e..i dont question his resume..i think it is solid as they come
5 weight classes doesnt spell ducking or coward to me

I don't recall any fight of khan's where he was terrifying the boxing masses with his dominance...

And lol at that guy. Maybe Khan woulda beat Berto if he managed to not get touched but he'd have lost to Guerrero (hell...he might still lose to guerrero you never know with Khan) and the Ortiz from the berto fight would have put on a savage beating on Khan. Probably the worst matchup you can think of for Khan (aside from this Canelo fight)

I agree, but to be fair..... I thought that Khan was close to the best at 140, but he has struggled against a number of different styles, and he has never imposed himself at welter.

Considering how the Algieri fight unfolded, the Guerrero who fought Berto would have given Khan hell..... and the Ortiz who fought Berto would have been even worse for him.

People who think Khan can beat Mayweather are tripping. Khan cannot even stick to a game-plan, let alone adapt continually throughout the fight.

You don't struggle with Algieri, and beat Floyd Mayweather.

timing/technique/defense > speed..... hands down.

He is going to have his hands full with Canelo.

[.!WAR MIKEY!.]

mayweather just a ***** we all know that.

Power punchers dont scare mayweather at this point in his career its speed that do thats why he chose to figth Maidana twice rather than face khan speed just once.

No, they don't..... they just enjoy saying it
