Amir Khan is ready to beat Floyd?

[Dia bando]

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.

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.

To be fair and honest, I think Khan would do well against Floyd. Floyd has slowed some, like everyone knew he would eventually. I'm not saying Floyd would lose or the fight would even be that close, but anything can happen.
Khan is very good, he has plenty of hand speed, good movement, showed good stamina and focus against Collazo.
If Khan can stay focused every second of the fight he'll do well, if not Floyd will make him pay.
Tired or relaxed fighters are Floyd's bread and butter.

Khan has the speed and height but how long will that last against Floyd? Floyd will adjust and find a way to beat Amir. There is no way Amir Khan deserves a fight against Floyd as he is not tested against real welterweights. His accomplishments at light welter do not stand up to him being in the same ring as Floyd. If Khan earned it by beating Brooks/Thurman he should get the fight but there is no way they will risk it unless they have to.

That's what I've been saying.

People go on and on about Khan's speed. You need more than speed to beat Floyd.

People base the idea that Khan would challenge Floyd on his fight against Collazo. Fighting old, shot Collazo is not a good measuring stick for how someone would do against Floyd.

Khan wants Floyd and if he sits on his hands until May 2015 he will do it. More than likely he will have to fight December and that will be a light punching welterweight. If he does not get Floyd he will have to fight Brooks. I hope he has to fight Brooks.

I think his speed and skill would definitely trouble Floyd. I just think eventually he'd catch that lead right and Floyd would get him out of there.

Garcia is overrated. I hope Floyd doesn't fight Garcia, that is a nothing fight with no intrigue. I feel like Khan is the better challenge for Floyd and would win a rematch with Garcia pretty easily. Thurman is too green, and brooks isn't ready at this point. The fighters I would like to see Fliyd defend against would be:
1) Manny
2) GGG (won't hold it against Floyd or blame him if he doesn't make this one)
3) Khan
4) Brooks
5) Cotto

Thurman is far more dangerous for Floyd than Khan. Thurman would wipe the floor with Khan.

Thurman may turn out to be more dangerous than Khan, but I do t feel that he is now. Khan has a great amateur pedigree and has fought on a larger stage. Khan is hard to quantify because he takes people light, is chinny, and is inconsistent. When he is up for a fight, however, I feel that he will be tough to beat.

Garcia is overrated.
what, and Khan is the Messiah I suppose?

Yeah of course he would win easily, because he's beaten so many superstars since he "unluckily" lost to Khan, hasn't he?
Thurman is too green.
well perhaps Khan should show him how it's done and give him a hiding!
and brooks isn't ready at this point.
What , and Khan is?
The fighters I would like to see Fliyd defend against would be:
1) Manny - Agreed
2) GGG (won't hold it against Floyd or blame him if he doesn't make this one)
Floyd is barely a LMW , infact he isn't. So why fight a MW?
3) Khan
yeah, he's really proved himself!!!
4) Brooks
By the time he gets fit, it would probably be a year since his last fight, and he's expected to give the best fighter on the planet a fight?
5) Cotto

hasn't he beaten him already? What is there to prove here?
I wasn't going to reply to this thread because it drives me nuts, but I never cease to be amazed at the way Khan fans (and most Brits)brush over the facts and bang on about that "quick hands will cause Floyd problems" bullshit. Khan is not in Floyd's class and doesn't deserve to make the money that people that get in the ring with Floyd make.

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.
