Khan signs on to fight Floyd

[imp]

Khan has not avenged any losses and has been sitting on the sidelines for a year not even prepared to fight any other welters.

Hope he gets destroyed.

This fight does nothing for floyd.

Im gonna go ahead and be the first to say it, I wouldnt be surprised to see Khan beat Flyod.

Here is why:

Floyd will touch Khan but not enough to slow him down.

With Khans speed, timing and Boxing I.Q. he will be able to land punches.

Khans speed.

If Floyd can keep Khan honest with punishing punches he wins.

Someone with my mindset

Khan can win this for sure if Floyd signs but a part of me thinks he might swerve him for Maidana who Khan has already beat!

I've said it loads before.....

Khans speed gives Floyd his toughest fight for years and lets not forget that Judah gave him nightmares with his speed and that was years ago.
If Amir can box clever I dont think Floyd has it in the tank to last the distance anymore.

Thats about exactly right. Outside of Pac I cant think of anyone else who could bring that type of speed and footwork. Khan picks better shots than Pac put can still punch in volume as well. His combos are sharp and well timed and placed.

Khan and Pac are two different types of fighters thats for sure but both have footwork, speed and throw beautiful/sharp combos.

Dont get me wrong its still a long shot that Khan will win. Its just an interesting fight imo.

Ugh, absolute shit fight. I'm really hoping Floyd backs out of this and fights Maidana instead

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..

Even watching Maidana as early as round 5 and 6 vs Broner he looks way to sloppy and slow to beat Floyd. Sorry man.

Khan can stay sharp for 12 rounds. 15 or more if need be.

Not to mention that Maidana is the last good fighter Khan has actually beaten 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

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

[erics44]

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

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?

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

[Abelardus]

I get what people say about his speed troubling floyd and comparing to Judah's speed but you gotta remember Judah is a south paw. South paws and mayweathers defense don't fit well for mayweather. If Judah wouldn't have gassed I bet he coulda won. Khan is an orthodox fighter I have him getting KO'd by a check left hook between the 6th and 8th round. If he gets up then mayweather will punish him and refs stops the fight. Something like hatton.

Seriously baffles me that people cunt off Amir..

He's one of the most exciting fighters to ever come out of the UK, always shows a massive heart in the ring and always comes to fight and was willing to set up shop across the pond and come back from a bad defeat from Prescott and crack on to win world titles.

So what if he's got a suspect chin, he always gets up no matter what state he's in and wants to fight on and always entertains.

I met Amir after he won Silver at the Olympics when he was about 17 and he's exactly the same now as he was then.... just a normal nice guy.

[Silkeyjoe]

He comes across as a cunt which is why most people don't like him. He also hasn't really earned a shot at Floyd. I think it's a good fight tho and am much happier with this when compared to guys like Maidana or Garcia
