Why Do People Still Think Mayweather Ducked Khan?

[_Maxi]

Because it was a big money fight and Mayweather had no reason to avoid him. Why choose Berto over him? why Guerrero? why Ortiz? but not Khan?

If Khan was so easy, why didn't Floyd fight him? big money for easy work? no I don't think so.

Because Guererro and Ortiz had action packed wins over berto for the WBC title.

Khan could have presented a problem, mostly because of his ugly style. Not because of skill Who wants to fight a guy that headlocks, pushes, etc.

Khan's fans are a very loyal bunch and very devoted to him. They refuse to believe he has a glass jaw and isn't very good. He never did anything at welterweight to make a good welterweight be afraid to fight him. He just barely beat Diaz in England and had to get of the floor to do it Thurman took Diaz out in 3 rounds. He just barely beat Algieri who Pacquiao knocked down 6 times and beat him by 120 to 105. Spence quickly KOed Algieri. He never got a fight with Mayweather or Pacquiao because he never earned or deserved a fight with them.Even now he is fighting a cherry pick ranked 100th by boxrec and expects a win over him to get him a fight with Pacquiao.

Give it up. Mayweather would have toyed with Khan for a few rounds and then knocked him out. Khan was out pointed by Peterson and struggle to beat lousy Diaz and average Algieri. Khan losing or struggling to beat average guys proves he wouldn't have a chance in hell of beating Mayweather.

No rational person says Floyd ducked Khan.

Around the time when Khan was being considered Floyd was getting shredded for cherry picking. Let's say Floyd would've faced Khan, this thread would instead be about people that think Floyd ducked Maidana.

I could link the old threads and just read how people were talking about Khan vs Floyd. Not pretty.

So taken in context nobody with logic says Floyd ducked Khan. Stylistically it would've been interesting no doubt but to say he ducked the guy shows bias and haterade. Maidana was red hot so Floyd chose him.

Why? Because Floyd's great advantage always was his superiority in footspeed and distance control over the guys he fought. He never looked comfortable against opponents who could do a halfway decent job of closing the distance on him. Khan would have been a problem and we know Floyd didn't have the power to guarantee he could make that problem go away easily.

Mayweather probably still wins that fight 8 out of 10times

Or loses it more times than not. We'll never know.

This is the truth. What they don't want to admit.

Khan is not the best boxer in the world and has a glass chin but he has that speed, accuracy, reach, height. If Maidana with pillow gloves could win 5 rounds then Khan could have done maybe better.

Styles makes fight and Floyd would not be able to do his large distance boxing against Khan as easy as he did against other boxers.

Does it mean Khan beats Floyd? I wouldn't go that far. Maybe, who knows. But they didn't want that risk.

Mayweather ducked Khan like the plague. Bizarre because Khan was t that good.
