Mayweather would be more wise to "duck" Khan than Pac

      Khans ability to land, is pretty much the absolute best in the game.
      exactly if you want to get to khan you have to be on him quick,
      not plodding along like devon was doing,
      floyd wont be able to do that for 12 rounds and khan will win with his hand speed and being quick on his feet

        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

          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?

            khan would beat floyd
            I do think he fights one of the two. Only other options are Garcia and Cotto at 160.

              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

                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

                  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

                    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.

                    Either fight would interest me, though pac vs may will likely be more entertaining.

                      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
