Comments Thread For: McGuigan: Khan vs. Pacquiao is Better Than Mayweather

[aboutfkntime]

Ooooh **** Barry McGuigan saying it how it is, oh damn someone do something there will be too many salty haters about
He basically just saying Floyd is a coward and a cherry picker for ducking the chosen one Amir King Khan.

But in the real world..... Khan cant beat Mayweather, and has done absolutely nothing to earn that fight.

Also, the fact that Khan has blatantly avoided dangerous opponents almost certainly counted against him.

He should have fought Brook when he had the chance.

lol sorry dude but khan pac will not even sniff mayweather pacquiao as far as big fights go. no fight will prob be that perfect of a hype storm and have that much demand ever again

And here is a dude that didn't read the article. You get a thumbs up for that bro,

...he feels its a much better fight in terms of styles and excitement than a potential fight between Khan and Floyd Mayweather Jr.

So 1) he was not comparing Pac/Khan to Pac/Mayweather, and 2) didn't mean in terms of how much it would draw.

why dont we demand pacquiao fight guys like thurman, brook, porter, or even golovkin.. why is ok for him to fight JWW when 147 is packed with talent.

I will never understand that.

I will never understand why people call for Thurman/Brook/Khan to fight Mayweather, but nobody has those same expectations from Pacquiao.

How about Danny Garcia vs PAC. The winner fights Thurman! The winner of that will fight Floyd! Khan should fight kell brook.

[BrometheusBob.]

I will never understand that.

Some reasons might include...
1) Mayweather is P4P #1, Pacquiao is not
2) Mayweather is coming off of a major win, Pacquiao is not
3) Mayweather is scheduled to face Berto, Pacquiao is not (in the last several months we've heard Arum mention Khan, Brook, Crawford and Matthysse)

Is this really THAT hard to understand?

EDIT: Is there even reason to believe that we don't want Pacquiao to fight someone good next

[Doctor_Tenma]

Khan is such a vulnerable fighter that any fight of his in comparison to whoever is likely to be more action packed. I'm not complaining though, I'd like to see Pacquiao take him out and I'll like Pacquiao again

[-Kev-]

Khan is probably more of a challenge to Pacquiao while it lasts. It would probably be a good fight until the KO punch from Pacquiao, even Khan being up on the scorecard at the time of the stoppage. While against Floyd it would be a clear UD win for Mayweather, with Floyd never being in any danger of losing a round.

Not sure, I hope not.

Its just that Mayweather is expected to fight the threats/killers, and yet very little was said when Pac selected mid-level 140lb'ers like Rios/Algieri.

There seems to be vastly different expectations from two guys who are supposed to be on the same level.

Pacquiao vs Soto Karass is better than Fraud vs Berto

This is true.

Would the Pacquiao fans dare admit they have loftier expectations for Floyd than they do for Manny?
