ps. I'm sure some moron will respond to this, asking why Maidana is a better opponent than Khan, who beat Maidana over 3 years ago.. :rolleyes:
Not to mention that Maidana is the last good fighter Khan has actually beaten:D If this fight gets signed it will have been two years since Khan was in against a world class fighter, when Garcia knocked him out. And yet Mayweather can't go the distance anymore, Amir Khan is actually going to win a decision here. He'll be really clever in this one, seriously:vd:

all good points
apart from maidana being a better opponent
12 rounds of floyd boxing his head off, maidana wont get near to him, if i had a million pounds everytime maidana landed a single punch in that fight i wouldnt be a millionaire
maidana is probably the worst opponent for floyd in terms of a test and entertainment
danny garcia isnt far behind
at least a fight pac and khan has potential for some excitement
Re: Khan signs on to fight Floyd
plus khan beat diaz in his last fight who drew (should have beat) porter who beat alexander
id say thats pretty close to world class, and khan won every round he wasnt hurt in very comfortably
Re: Khan signs on to fight Floyd
Julio Diaz has also been TKO'ed by your auntie and my dog, and lost to a handful of other Mayweather victims back when he was a lightweight a decade ago. Khan scraping by him over a year before he'd get to face Floyd is exactly why the fight sucks. I'm not even saying Khan doesn't have a good style to fight Floyd, but he isn't on the same level these days and can't take any kind of a punch at all. Floyd isn't a really light hitter, he'll time Khan and hurt him whenever he wants to.

maybe
he'll outbox maidana easily (maidana wont land a punch) and danny garcia would be just as much of a stroll
khan is the best fight out of the three in terms of entertainment by a long way
pac perhaps would offer a bit more but doesnt look like that will happen
who else is there in the frame?
Re: Khan signs on to fight Floyd
There are two good well knows fights:
Tszue and Whitaker vs. Diosbelys Hurtado , where both Tszue and Whitaker were not well prepared, Diosbelys Hurtado had VERY fast hands, he knocked dow both guys, but at the end he got overclassed and destroyed
I believe Floyd vs. Khan will go by the same scenario
Re: Khan signs on to fight Floyd
If there is any one who is capable of landing an absolute picture perfect punch on Khan it's Mayweather. Maybe more than once. For once.
Re: Khan signs on to fight Floyd
Floyd-Maidana is a virtual cert to be a 12-0 rinse and repeat UD.
Floyd will probably TKO Khan. However, if Khan goes the distance there's no way with his workrate and punch output he wont have taken rounds (even if they're contentious). This fight can't fail to be entertaining (unless Khan gets ironed in the first ;D)

Question...?
Do you wanna see Floyd in with another slow plodder who he's got wrapped up stylewise after 3 rounds or someone with serious speed who will land punches, make him fight and above all Entertain you whatever the outcome.
No one is saying Khan will 100% win but he def has the speed and style to pose more questions than any other fighter apart from Pac.
This is exactly what real fight fans wanna see ;)
I wanna see Floyd made to fight at a serious pace and maybe even go onto the front foot and really put it on Khan.
I guarantee you one thing.... Win , lose or draw.... Khan will bring out the very best in Mayweather and wont let up until either he wins or is knocked out in the process.
Its a win win for fight fans and a nailed on classic matchup so lets hope Floyd signs the contract :)
The only fights I'd really rather see would be Bradley or Lara, obviously neither of those guys are exciting, but they aren't slow plodders either and would be real challenges. You obviously think Khan is a lot better than I do currently, I don't think he'll put up a great fight or take more than a round or two if this happens.
Re: Khan signs on to fight Floyd
Roy and Paulie agree that Khan's speed/style could give Floyd big problems.

Re: Khan signs on to fight Floyd
Lmfao some of u lost your minds. This thread it nutty lol
Re: Khan signs on to fight Floyd
Good luck to Amir Khan in getting this pay day and his management will be best advised to rap him cotton wool.
Ideally he would have another fight against a better welterweight like Paulie, Broner Maidana or Brooks but he is too vulnerable.
Yes he has the style, reach. height and speed to cause Floyd some problems but not to actually beat him.
Do not get delusional over this fight and keep it real.
