Amir Khan is ready to beat Floyd?

Dont be silly, he doesnt even deserve a shot, he wouldn't beat Kell Brook.

He has wasted numerous opportunities and is just a media commentator now.

Amazing that he still gets good money fights, albeit against carefully selected opponents.

The thing about Khan is that the general boxing public would respect him more if he went to avenge his losses (Garcia and Peterson) rather than chasing after Floyd. I agree that he doesn't even best Kel Brook never mind Floyd!!!

I go back and forth on this one. On one hand Khan is "chinny" and has lost to Garcia, Prescott and Peterson, all of whom are a full level (or three!) less than Floyd. On the other hand, I think he has the following things going for him:
1) speedy boxers will bother Floyd more than straight ahead brawlers, and Khan is fast/talented. Style wise, this is a bad match up for Floyd in my opinion, especially a 37 year old Floyd.
2) while Floyd can punch, I don't think he hits as hard as Garcia or Prescott, and I don't see him knocking Khan out with one shot. This isn't to say that Khan will be able to neglect his defense and just walk in on Floyd, just saying I don't see Floyd's shots having the same affect as those other guys' shots.
3) Khan has looked horrible in fights where he overlooks the opponent. That won't be the case here at all. If anything, I expect Khan to be up for this fight and be sharper than we've seen him in years, or maybe ever. Khan seemed to take zab seriously and I feel that he was very sharp in that fight.

I feel that Khan will give Floyd problems, perhaps more than Maidana did during their first fight. Chin, stamina and ability to adapt are my biggest questions/concerns with Khan beating Floyd, and I think all three will play a factor in the outcome. I see Khan giving Floyd nightmares through the first half of the fight. Floyd's stamina advantage will allow him to start applying the pressure and coming out ahead in more and more if the exchanges. I look for Floyd go buzz him late and score at least one knockdown. I would bet on Floyd winning a close decision thanks to a knockdown late, and having to fight hard and come from behind to do it. I wouldn't be overly surprised if Floyd got the late stoppage either though...

I think floyd would win but if he can't hurt khan he's in big trouble IMO

Khan has speed to burn trouble is Amir attacks in a straight line, so he would be open to Floyds
counter punches, if he can attack for different angles to improve his chances.
Good fight if it's made a difficult defence for Floyd, yes why not lets get it on.

His concentration drifts away from him too, that would be a big problem against Floyd.
I think he did well against Collazo, but, to be kind, I do think Collazo was in over his head.
My biggest complaint with Khan is that he thinks he should jump to the head of the line.
What the hell, maybe it is the Brits turn again, Floyd does have a nondiscrimination attitude as far a countries are concerned. Like you said, let's get it on.

True. Khan moves to the left and right, but not when he's punching. Khan punches in a straight line and unless he doubles up to counter act Floyd's counter punching, I don't see him being effective.

I think Kell Brook is much more deserving.

Khan has the talent and speed but he just doesn't have the speed.

And before people say "OH MAYWEATHER DOESN'T HIT HARD, KHAN SURVIVED AGAINST MUCH BIGGER PUNCHERS, ECT", that's true, but he's never fought a guy with the speed, accuracy and skill of Mayweather and he's going to get hit with more clean, quality shots than the slow plodders were able to hit him with.

I don't think any of the young guns, like Thurman, Garcia and Brook, needs to get any where near Floyd. It will only damage their stock in the long run, and their legacy will be ruined- Floyd will most likely win.

There needs to be a build up of a Brook/Garcia/Thurman threeway. There needs to be a build up for these three. I see a SRL/Hearns/Duran thing playing out here.

Why cant khan fight robert guerrero?

[VG_Addict]

Maybe Khan could have success, but I think Floyd would manage to find a way to win.

Floyd is VERY good at adapting.

[jon09]

He would probably start off okay and fold by the later rounds. He still has a bad habit of punching wide. Brook vs Khan makes the most sense in an elimination fight for Mayweather.

I been away with limited internet access

Get a move on man !
