Who's the better fighter and overall opponent for Mayweather?

We will never know because Khan refuses to face a real challenge.
Khan will stick with feather fisted opponents. Berto has too much power for Khan so it
will never happen.

Agreed!! We also know that if they did face one another that all Amir would do is run.

Yet, when Floyd does it, you refer to it as boxing.


Looks like you are the only one to vote Berto so far Brut...

I've never seen Floyd actually run in the ring, we saw Khan running like Usain Bolt vs a guy with zero punching power at all, get lost clown.

Khan is better and interests me more as a Mayweather opponent due to his speed. Berto brings nothing that interests me.

@ you stating Berto was the better opponent and thinking everyone would follow suit. People know better, Brut. Berto sucks.

You are the only one who think I was believing everyone would follow suit, personally i don't care, Khan isn't getting the fight. You will either have to sit on the sideline and continue to whine like a little bitch about it and not watch it or do whatever it is when you are not hating on Floyd.

He's been calling out floyd for a long time, isn't that a genuine challenge or do you think if floyd agreed khan would say no

He only wants Floyd or Manny for a payday.
Khan will not face a real challenge without having a multi miliion dollar payday.
And even being offered 5 million he turned down Brook.

So he would take on a 'real challenge' then.

I'd also say that he clearly has a better recent resume than Berto and is more likely to give Floyd problems.

Sure it isn't, not one person likes Khan and believes he's any good except you.

How does it feel to be Floyd's #1 fan?

If you don't like his choice, don't buy it. Berto isn't my first choice either, but it will be better than Khan vs Floyd. Did you watch the Algieri fight???
Put Khan in with Cotto, Canelo, and Pac....even Maidana. He loses badly to all 4. Khan is shit.

I would bet money that Berto would KO Khan, knowing the way they fight.

If Calling out, was the main reason guys would fight, imagine the fights we would see? Khan calling out Floyd after going life and death with Algieri makes him a legitimate opponent for floyd??? Some of you are seriously, retarded.


Please.....watch the Khan vs Algieri fight again, and imagine if Khan was fighting Floyd. I hate to be insulting, but if you can't see Floyd totally schooling and clowning Khan, I can't help but think you are a moron.

Even Maidana? They've already fought you know...

I would make Berto/Khan a 50/50 fight. Khan (even if Berto would beat him) is still a better matchup against Floyd because he at least has something to offer: speed. And his major flaw (chin) wouldn't likely come in to play because Floyd is older and his hands are pretty brittle now. Berto has literally nothing to offer.

Nothing to offer? Watch Berto vs Karass, then Khan vs Algieri. Neither guy is my pick, but if you want to see an entertaining fight, it is not Floyd vs Khan. It would be more of a chess match for about half, close, until Floyd starts clowning him...eventually rocking/taking him out because Khan is still vulnerable to the same shit. All the bs about Khan's speed troubling Floyd is laughable. Timing and footwork negates speed, and Khan would look goofy most of the fight. Khan is soooo fast, that every guy slower than Floyd has found him easily, and often.
Floyd will have to fight vs Berto, and from what I hear he plans to. Floyd vs Khan wouldn't be as boring as Floyd vs Lara, but a close second. No one wants to see that shit.

As far as Maidana, yes, Khan squeaked a win over him, with the help of the ref, at 140. The new Maidana, at 147 (if he makes it again) and with his new trainer, would beat the hell out of Khan.

I didn't say it would be entertaining, nor did I say his speed would trouble Floyd. Floyd beats Berto by a shutout, and beats Khan 10-2 or 9-3. Khan's speed is the only thing between he and Berto combined that is even remotely interesting as a test to Floyd.

Going by what i have read on here I can see why a lot of good posters have left this forum and gone elsewhere........ I was going to reply to.them then I thought its pointless to argue with opinions built from resentments

I used to really respect boxrec but Going by what i have read on here and a the last few months I can see why a lot of good posters have left this forum and gone elsewhere........ I was going to reply to.them then I thought its pointless to argue with opinions built from resentments .... I think its time to call it a day..

I dont give Khan much chance on beating Mayweather at this point. Khan of 2010 I wanted to see fight Mayweather. I give Khan about the same amount of chance of beating Mayweather as Berto right now. I still say Kell Brook should of gotten the fight but figured it wouldn't happen.

LOL to the BS so called "speed" that Khan is supposed to have; that same speed got him KO'd by fighters far slower than Floyd like Garcia and had him literally running from a featherfisted LW in Algieri.

Y'all make me laugh with all this mumbo jumbo talk of Khan having speed and supposedly having shown improvement after his win over Alexander where people on this forum were literally sucking his glove and saying how he'd beat Floyd after I told y'all he did not improve and that Devon Alexander was an easy opponent to beat because he showed no ability to adjust.

Now that we have seen Khan performing his Usain Bolt impression in his last two bouts we should know that he has no real speed and his chin is still leaky and shaky as ever plus he runs from fighters who can't even punch.

Keep blowing Khan though, it's only a matter of time before he gets put to sleep again in devastating fashion.

I don't give Khan or Berto much of a chance, but I don't see what Berto can realistically do to trouble Floyd. Conversely, I can at least see Khan providing some issues with his faster hands, as I believe that a major part of Floyd's success is the speed advantage he usually has over opponents but wouldn't have against Khan. Now it is true that opponents who are far worse than Floyd have beaten Khan or given him problems in defeat, but in recent years those who have done so tended to go after him and/or pack respectable power to exploit his shaky chin (I wouldn't expect Floyd to flatten Khan with one left hook like Garcia did). Floyd is not that type of fighter though and while I'd expect him to win convincingly I wouldn't be surprised if Khan had moments.

And I prefer Brook over Berto and Khan (and Porter and Thurman) as well.
