Thread: Khan The Chosen One ?

Dominating Collazo and Devon, Khan is suddenly the one to beat Floyd ?

I like Khan but he is the poor man version of Pacquiao and that is a compliment.

I really think Maidana roughs him up in a rematch, and a handful of others that can beat him.

Am I missing something cause I'm just not sold on him beating Floyd?

yes you are missing a lot

If you cant see why hed cause Floyd trouble theres no point trying to explain it to you.

But Khan can't outbox Floyd.

I can see him causing some trouble but I don't see him winning at all. Big difference.

Khan would definitely out throw floyd and likely out land. Thats enough to outbox Floyd on some judges scorecards. Canelo got a draw without landing anything.

What happens when Floyd takes away Khan's speed with timing?

He will have lost the 1st 4 or 5 rounds by then. Then its a toss up of whether he can actually hurt Khan and stop him or he lands enough counters to win the remaining rounds. Again I doubt the fight will ever happen but thats how Ive always seen it go. Khan wins early rounds and Floyd comes back and wins a late decision. Decision could go either way though

Why can't he.?

Remember Floyd is getting on a bit for a reflex fighter, you can only slip punches for so long,!
Khan brings speed and punching in bunches, Floyd may slip one or two but if Khan is shooting
out 5 or 6 punch combos, some are going to land.
Floyd likes to fight at Floyd pace, you make him work and sustained accurate pressure is something
Khan could do you never no.

Nah mate, you're not missing anything. When I saw the title of the thread, I thought somebody else was gonna blow sunshine up Khan's ass because he beat a guy who isn't even top 10 and very gun shy. Just how Khan likes them.
As they said in the life of Brian, " he's not the Messiah, he's just a naughty boy!"

If only he had a chin.

Good point.

Keep him away from heavy punchers and hes smiling.

I think khan has got a chin but just had the wrong strategy and trainer at the time.

Virgil already owns a pound for pound fighter in ward who is defensive and strong and he has made those evident changes in khan.

Virgil is a 6,5 heavyweight that runs and bullies his fighters down in training and that has only made his fighters better.

Khan is a problem for any welter weight and has carried up his speed to 147 but left his chin 140.

I just think one more win at 147 completely cements khans position at the weightclass and floyd or manny can not or will not ignore him.
