Beating Algieri qualified Pacquiao for the Mayweather fight (that's the opponent he faced before he fought Mayweather)... Enough said there.
Algieri had a gutsy performance against Provo but it was razor thin and a lop sided lost to Pac. He is not even a 147 so I don't know what credentials you are giving him.
You are just building him up in your brain that he is worthy opponent to justify the fight.
Everyone knows Mayweather avoided Khan, he put up a poll of who his next opponent would be - either Khan or Maidana, Khan won the official poll but Mayweather avoided him and fought the loser of the poll Maidana instead.
Not only did he avoid Khan, he did it in the most public way possible. How many times do I need to explain that to newbies? Do some research fellas.
And a lot of people think Khan can give Mayweather a tough, close fight. Whether he can beat him or not we'll only find out if they actually fight. Obviously Mayweather is a hell of a great boxer with the skills to potentially overcome the threat that Khan presents. We need to see the fight to find out though but Roger looks like he's trying to save Floyd from it.
For one, Khan is faster than Pacquiao, he has better footwork, he has an inside game through his training with Hunter, he's bigger, taller and closer to natural welterweight (whereas Pacquiao isn't quite a natural WW). Khan actually brings more skills to the table than Pacquiao now that he left Roach and trains with Hunter.
But that's not to discredit Pacquiao - we all know Pacquiao is a great fighter, it's just that he didn't have the size, reach and speed to put a dent in Floyd's style while Khan has that, and then some.
