Amir Khan on Mayweather vs Ortiz: Roach Has The Plan

[The_budweiser]

As the ‘Star Power’ Pay-Per-View draws closer we sat down with Primetime favourite and studio team member for Mayweather vs Ortiz, Amir Khan.

 

Are you looking forward to working with Andy Kerr, Steve Bunce and Duke McKenzie in the Primetime studio this weekend?

 

“Yeah it will be great fun being in the studio with all of them. I'm sure it will be an absolutely great night of boxing and hopefully us guys in the studio can give some good analysis of the night's action!”

 

Floyd recently said you would have to beat Jessie Vargas to earn a fight with him, what do you think of Vargas and do you believe you would pose problems for Mayweather he hasn't encountered yet?

 

“I didn't really know of Jessie Vargas until Mayweather mentioned him, but if that's what it takes to get a fight against Mayweather then I would be up for it. I think I have the style to beat Mayweather, I'm sure he has never faced anyone as quick as me. Freddie Roach has the perfect game plan of how to face someone like Mayweather, who is very defensive and I know I could execute that game plan.”

 

Erik Morales has been touted as a possible opponent for you in December. Do you think he still has something to offer?

 

“Erik Morales has been a great champion - one of the legends of the sport. I think he proved in his last fight that he has enough in the tank to cause trouble to a lot of fighters and I'm sure that will be the case on Saturday night.”

Khan wouldnt stand a chance against Mayweather.

 

Roach might have a plan for Pacquiao, but Khan wouldnt get anywhere near him.

[McBride]

When will people ever learn? There is no PLAN to beat Mayweather.

 

You have to learn to fight with your brain like he does. His whole modus operandi, is to see what you have got for a couple of rounds or so, and then stop you from doing it, whilst he then improvises his own capabilities, and wins.

 

He will box, or fight. He will go into defence mode, then switch to offence mode. He keeps the other guy guessing, all the time knowing everything they are capable of and having an answer for it.

I kind of agree with McBride here, when Floyd loses (if he does) then I think it'll more likely be to fighter who like himself can adjust to different things, rather than someone who starts out with one basic gameplan and sticks to it for an entire fight. More than likely age will be the culprit, and a similar but younger fighter will take advantage. I know everyone THINKS it'll be a slugger who simply overpowers him, but as long as he stays underneath Middleweight, I'm not so sure that's possible unless someone appears on the scene that I haven't noticed yet.
