Comments Thread For: Amir Khan: Floyd Mayweather is a Fight We Can Win

[steeluv]

Khan has had a very good start to his career, and has plenty of potential. But he isn't nearly ready to go against Mayweather (unless Mayweather has completely forgotten how to box during his long time away from the ring).

At some point fairly soon, Mayweather is going to be far enough past his prime that he will be vulnerable to someone like Khan. But that time isn't now. If Khan stepped into the ring with Mayweather this fall, Khan would be given a lesson.

Khan's time to shine may come after Mayweather has left the scene. That would be a shame, but it would be a mistake to try to force the issue by rushing Khan in when he's not ready. Khan needs to fight Bradley, and needs to take Bradley very seriously. Bradley doesn't win pretty, he just wins. Khan will gain a lot of good experience against Bradley, and he should then be able to move up to 147 lbs with confidence.

Everybody is high on Khan right now, but take a step back and remember that this is based on a win over a past-it Judah. You can't use a fight against Judah to predict Khan will do the same to Mayweather any more than you could use Haye's performance against Valuev to predict he'd do the same to Wladimir. Mayweather isn't even on the same planet as Judah.

Bradley is running from this fight as he knows he has a slim chance of beating Khan. Personally i think Khan should take 2 fights at 147 before taking on Floyd

Khan can only land 21% of his punches on Judah and now he has the tools to be PBF!!! The **** some of yall spew is just disgusting. Hate or dislike a person all you want but tell the truth! All those missing punches Khan threw yall know in yall hearts PBF would have made him pay for that. Khan is a decent fighter he is no where near ready for that fight. Jab is not as good as I thought it was and he still pushes his punches and looks mechanical in throwing his combos. Khan doesn't have a chance in hell to beat PBF. I can't believe the **** I am reading about Khan having the tools.

What did yall see that didn't to suggest this is a winnable fight for Khan?

Khan has all the skills to beat Mayweather. I really liked what I saw from him against Zab. But floyd really is on a completely different level than Zab. As we saw in the Mosley fight, Castillo, Corrales and some other fights, floyd choses how he fights. He can come forward, fight going back, he has the complete arsenal. Does Amir at this point? I just don't think he does.

What are these skills you telling me he has to beat PBF? I don't see it. I am not saying Khan is bum because that would be a complete lie. I don't like what I saw from Khan in the Judah for a fight with PBF to even mentioned and then people actually saying its a fight Khan can win! Thats bull**** IMO.

His speed and his jab (which needs work) and his endurance. To me the trick to beating floyd is taking the last 4 rounds from him. Floyd has got to win like 95% of rounds 9-12 in his career. He can't fight like he did against Zab and beat floyd, we agree.

Khan has nice speed. Jab needs a lot of work from accuracy to him getting it back to his chin so he is not countered over his jab. Khan's jab won't be a big factor IMO cause its not good enough to be a factor. Endurance wasn't tested because for all those punches he missed Judah didn't make him pay at all. We all know PBF will make Khan miss and make him pay for missing. That wears on your endurance. Khan was tired in the Maidana fight because he was getting touched. We do know that missing makes a fighter tired but when you miss and get hit cause you missed that takes even more of a toll. We agree on the bold to add to that Khan just doesn't have what it takes to win this right now or for a few years unless PBF slows down drastically. I would bet the farm on Khan losing very badly in a fight with PBF.

Here's another thought. Freddie had success against Mayweather when he trained De La Hoya for that one fight. Khan is a younger and faster version of Oscar. And Freddie will be preparing Khan against a 35+ yr old Floyd! I wouldn't bet that farm if I were you.

i don't see him beating floyd or pac in any order, not at this point!

LLS at the bold. We have nothing to talk about if think De la Hoya had success against PBF. Giving De la Hoya 4 rounds in that fight is being generous. Just so you know Khan is not faster than a prime De la Hoya!!! I know PBF did not fight a prime De la Hoya.

[tennis-legend]

no need to rush

khan is in his prime

what a great fighter he is

anyone should be afraid of him
