Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Amir Khan.

[Master]

They may face each other in an exhibition match.

They may face each other in an exhibition match.

For the love of God no! Please don’t even whisper that.

Floyd and Khan's respective fights against Canelo show the difference in their ring IQs.

Khan can't adjust mid-fight or stick to a gameplan to save his life.

[TitoFan]

Is this a real question?

[VG_Addict]

I don't buy into the idea that Virgil Hunter significantly improved Khan. All he did was turn Khan into a mini-Ward, which doesn't play to Khan's strengths. Ward and Khan are VERY different fighters.

I don't think much of Hunter as a trainer. I think he got lucky when he discovered a generational talent in Ward.

[Master]

Khan best period was with Roach and he was exciting and attacking nearly unifying the light welterweight division.

[VG_Addict]

IMO, Khan was the boxing version of the Dunning-Kruger Effect. A stupid person who WILDLY overestimates their own abilities.

Timing beats speed.

Case closed.

Would have been an interesting match, but for my Floyd would have won on power and speed alone

[PerfectJab]

Khan had speed and was brave, if you see who he was willing to get in the ring with.
But IMO he was a boxer who was always lacking in boxing IQ.
That alone is enough to have zero chance against Mayweather.

I just can't see a fighter who makes as many technical mistakes as Khan does ever beating Floyd.

TBH, Khan's more like Prime Naseem Hamed or Sergio Martinez than Floyd. He uses his speed to cover his poor fundamentals.
