I think Pacquiao has aged too much in the last couple years. Speed is down, power is down, and stamina is way low. If he does get the fight maybe he does put everything he has and we see the old manny but im just going based on what I've seen recently. Khan is in his prime, lightning quick hands, much bigger than Floyd, and can box well. I firmly believe he gives Mayweather more of a fight than Pacquiao.
Just my two cents
So by your logic...Khan is Better Than Mayweather and Pacquiao
:lol1:
Here comes the stupid Khan Fans invading the Forum for the next few Days:pat:
Let me go ahead and leave this for a bit so i won't have to lose IQ Points arguing with them
Styles make fights as we saw tonight
Floyd is a boxers boxer, Khan does well against boxers
Pac is a totally different animal and poses a difficult fight for Khan
Floyd is the easier fight for Khan...however for Floyd, Khan will not be easy
Floyds gameplan has always been to outpoint his opponents, he will not have that luxury with Khan
He will have to win by KO, and chasing KO's is not the best way to fight
So by your logic...Khan is Better Than Mayweather and Pacquiao

Never said he was better just saying he poses problems with his sped and ability to box.
Manny is a tougher fight for Khan because of Manny's power can hurt Khan. never said Khan would win but its an interesting fight

Floyd will nevere fight Khan he's got speed a good jab, can box with length and throws combos. Floyd only fights stationary plodders, not guys tha can box and move.
Styles make fights and Khan poses problems for Floyd which is why he
ll never get a shot. The only weakness Khan can have at times is his chin which Khan wouldn't have to worry about against Floyd.
He looks better and stronger at 147.

lets not kid ourselves if floyd signs to fight pac people will say its only to avoid khan its predictable around here
only thing that can hurt floyd is khans hands speed other than that floyd exceeds him
he can't exceed something he can't outpunch.
btw your sig...did I just see a 7 punch combo from ali and nothing landed?
well with his interview on showtime it just looks like he is ready to come out with some BS to duck the fight...
i used to really like floyd,
but it comes to a point when you get bored of 12 round decisions :lol1:
Duck what fight? Boxing isn't all about getting a knockout.
if you listen to paulie and al's pro-Haymon propaganda, i'm sure you could be led to think that Thurman and Khan will do better against Floyd than Manny. but everyone wants to see Floyd/Manny; don't buy into their bs! If you do, we'll be screwed out of the one fight we've all wanted to see for years.
Khan is nowhere near as good as Pacquiao, but why would Floyd take the risk of fighting a guy like Khan when he can make many times the money against Manny? Khan is a risky enough style to deal with that it would honestly be a really stupid move for Floyd to favor that matchup over Pacquiao.
Khan's movement, hand speed and length will be tough for anyone at WW. With Floyd's low workrate, khan has a good chance to steal rounds. If khan fights disciplined and doesn't get caught lunging in, he has a decent shot. The more boring the fight is, the better khans chances are. Its a fight wherein floyd will have to hurt khan. Floyd will not bring up glove issues in this fight.
manny is smaller than floyd so he's more open to getting caught coming in. Manny will have to take more risks against floyd than khan would just based to their sizes. floyd has a bigger chance of getting hurt vs manny but the same goes for manny. Floyd will probably ask for 10 oz gloves against manny or something in that effect to mitigate his lower.
This, floyds finally got to the point where hes beaten all the pressure fighters and has to risk fighting a more tactical fighter which could end up making him look alot more ordinary. He has a much higher risk of losing that 0 now. I get the feeling floyds stuck in a corner and is gunna hope danny garcia kos someone in the month of january/febuary and take the fight with him. Or hes gunna retire

Either fight would interest me, though pac vs may will likely be more entertaining.
I do think he fights one of the two. Only other options are Garcia and Cotto at 160.

i wouldnt go that far.
but khan sure as hell deserves a floyd fight more than anybody not named pacquiao with this win.
he's quietly packing in some names on his resume.
floyd khan at wembley would just be massive.
floyd vs khan & pac vs garcia.
why not?
Basically Pac obviously has first dibs at Floyd, but if the fight doesnt happen, then it has to be Khan
anyone else, at 147, no thanks
Ive always thought Khan was a threat to Floyd.
Also thought he would be even a bigger threat if he was still with Roach but judging his performance tonight this Khan is better. But for the sake of robbing us for years I still prefer pac/floyd just so they can just fight and get it over with
i wouldnt be surprised if floyd ducked both khan and pacman :lol1:
khan would beat floyd :boxing:

Khan is all wrong for Floyd, especially this Hunters version of Khan
Both Pac and Khan pose a serious challenge for Floyd
Khan has the benefit of fighting from range and keep the distance, there is no way imo Floyd can win on points
with Pac, who has great footwork, yes his speed isnt what it use to be, but he will still pose a problem for Floyd with his in and out style...only Pac will be easier to hit for Floyd because he's always moving forwards
where as Khan fights from the backfoot...
either way speed is the key..pac has fast feet, khan has fast hands...floyd will not enjoy a fight with either man
