Enablers. Watch Floyd fight Khan next, with the selling point of "Khan is another hungry young lion, look at his speed, he has a real chance at winning!" Arum is scum too.
Khan would be way more competitive than Hatton. He's the #1 fighter in the division below and he has the tools to trouble Floyd. Obviously I'd much rather see Mayweather-Pacquiao but as a 2nd option Mayweather-Khan really isn't a terrible fight.
Khan would be far less competitive than Hatton was. Hatton was the undisputed No.1 in the division below for five years and handled guys MUCH better than the one's Khan has beat. You think those quick flurries will trouble Mayweather much past two rounds? Khan's in-and-out movement is tailor made for Mayweather, who would time him something wicked and spark him out inside six rounds. MTF
Mayweather-Khan is not a good fight, and absolute dogshit compared to a Pacquiao fight. Mayweather is like a boxing Einstein, Khan is Forrest Gump. It wouldn't be hard for Floyd to figure Amir out and pick him apart.
Floyd is undoubtedly a far superior boxer to Khan, I'm not disputing that. However, if boxing were that black and white then there would be no point watching it. Khan has attributes that could potentially give Floyd hell. Floyd isn't going to take on Martinez in a million years, so outside of Pacquiao, Khan is clearly the next best fight.
I'm with Hut, if he beats Mayweather before Floyd's 100th birthday, I will have to re-examine my soul
REED was just about Ready to JOIN the Floycott, if Anyone OTHER than Manny Pac is his Next Opponent, but Then U Mentioned Amir Khan...REED Would DEFINITELY Watch that Fight & EVERYBODY Else @ Fightbeat Would Too.... REED:hammert:
While Khan Only Has a 25-30% Chance of WINNING, U're Still CORRECT...It'd B INTERESTING to See how an AGING Mayweather Deals w/a Young, Quick, Rangy Guy that Has (& Actually UTILIZES) a Jab... REED:hammert:
But Will U WATCH It???... It's VERY Easy to Get Around "Paying" for a Fight...Hell, REED HASN'T "Paid" for a Floyd Fight Since the Dela Bout...& Even Though REED's as PUT-OFF by Floyd as Most Other Boxing Fans R, REED would B LYING if he Said he WOULDN'T Watch Floyd-Khan... REED
You know, I typed that fully on auto pilot, I have been saying it so long. When I really think about who is at WW, it's really not very good right now. I hate to say it, but Khan is probably the best fight that isn't Manny for Floyd.
REED's Probably PURCHASED Less than 5 in that Span, w/@ Least HALF of them Admittedly Being UFC PPV's... REED:tick:
Cool... Is the Floydcott about WATCHING or PURCHASING Floyd Mayweather PPV's???....If it's about PURCHASING, REED's Been on a Floydcott for SEVERAL Years Now... REED:dancingBaby:
I'm watching.....Mayweather vs. Ortiz...i don't give a fuck.... I'm NOT watching Pacquiao vs. Marquez III..... I think that after these fights....there won't be anyone else to fight other than Sergio Martinez......and neither one needs to fight that over hyped dancer.... Arum won't risk Chavez Jr...a current and future cash cow....and gbp won't risk Canelo... Floyd could fight the winner of Cotto vs. Margarito II...and get away with it since he hasn't fought them before....
I'd like to see khan v mayweather, as i'm sure now that floyd/pac is not going to happen. I think khan gets picked apart, but early floyd will struggle with his speed, but will land at will start to land at will and sap khan's confidence.
I still like to see floyd fight tho and won't boycott his fights. He's a pleasure to watch in the ring.
The gap between Mayweather/Pacquiao and the 3rd best WW is like the gap between Kim/Kourtney Kardashian and Khloe. Mayweather and Pacquiao not fighting each other is like the 49ers and Cowboys in 1992-94 not having to face each other, but instead getting to call themselves the champs by instead beating an AFC team. The "second best" fight is a far, far cry from them facing off. If only it was easy to steal cable and PPV like in the 90s.
