    The guy who turns that down doesn't act like he wants to fight, epecially after he turned down 50/50 a few years before that.

    AK doesn't have to avenge his losses becuase he didn't turn down 2 previous offers to fight. Floyd never asked manny to revenge his losses when he offerd 50/50 or when he offered $40 mil. He is making manny pay for beeing stubborn and greedy. WHen manny does this to JMM you don't question it so why now?
    If you think Floyd's 40million offer to Pacquiao over the phone was a legit you don't know much about the business of boxing. The biggest fight in history is not made in a short phone call between the two boxers. It takes written contracts approved by lawyers and the approved by all people involved on both sides. He can't just wire Pacquiao 40million and expect Pacquiao not to have to pay taxes on it or give Arum his share as his contracted promoter. Mayweather had no intentions of sending Pacquiao any money. It was just more BS from the BS master.

        Will Khan Be Mayweather's Toughest Fight Since Judah?

        Khan is quicker than the prime version of Zab Judah who Mayweather experienced some difficulty with when they met in the ring. Mayweather was even "knocked down" by Judah because his hand touched the canvass following a clean punch by Judah, but the referee was too complacent to call it a knockdown at that particular moment, perhaps it was where he was positioned which obstructed his view. Mayweather hand only touched for a moment then he immediately returned to his feet.

        We saw how Khan destroyed a slightly faded Judah better than Mayweather, Cotto, Garcia, Malignaggi and probably anyone else besides Tszyu. So, do you think Khan will turn out to be Mayweather's toughest fight since that Judah match up (and arguably the first Baldomir fight), or will it just be a standard Mayweather domination, as we see in the vast majority of Mayweather's fights?

          zab and baldomir werent tough fights for floyd

          he schooled baldomire, and zab started off well but by the 5th round he was getting beat up

          Tough fights for floyd were the cotto and oscar fights,,, both made floyd work every second of the fight, especially cotto

          by the time zab was figured out and getting tagged, cotto was on his toes, jabbing circles around floyd in the center of the ring, busting him up,,,

              I am a Mayweather fan, but not anymore if he fight Khan I will also put him at #10 on the P4P.. I probably drop him to 11 for the sheer principle he wants to pull a nut ass move like this

                Cotto was a tougher fight than expected, it was partly due to Mayweather's approach to the fight - I think that was the last time Roger trained him, he had finally turned Mayweather into a more outwardly offensive fighter at the expense of his defense. I actually had that fight a little closer than all of the judges. ..

                    Khan either shows he is washed up

                    or Shocks everyone and shows he still has something left by giving Mayweather a boxing match that lasts 12 rounds with Khan winning a couple of rounds.

                      He'll be Floyds hardest fight since Hatton and Del Hoya

                      those two fights weren't easy
