    Same way any of the other names u mentioned. Other than Pac, Khan has the best resume of them all, do some research man.

    Why u added Pac though?, he clearly seems the obvious choice but I neglected it because he will retire very soon too like Mayweather.

      Pacquiao/Mayweather have both been the guys to beat @ WW since 2009. Won't change until both retire.

        Usually when someone says "do some research", they have a valid argument. Khan beat Devon at welterweight. That's about all he done there.

        And I added Pacman to what??

            Who is the new #1 p4p?

            Guillermo Rigondeaux
            Andre Ward
            Gennady Golovkin
            Sergey Kovalev

            Who is the man to beat at 147?

            Manny Pacquiao
            Timothy Bradley
            Kell Brook
            Shawn Porter
            Keith Thurman

            Who is the man to beat at 154?

            Erislandy Lara or will Canelo and Cotto move down?

            Who will be public enemy #1?

            Andre Ward
            Adrien Broner
            Gennady Golovkin
            Danny Garcia

            Who will emerge as the new face of the sport?

            Canelo
            Gennady Golovkin
            Andre Ward
            Sergey Kovalev
            Vasyl Lomachenko
            Terrence Crawford

            Who is the next superstar to emerge?

            Felix Verdejo
            Errol Spence Jr.
            Oscar Valdez


            And most importantly, will we finally start to see fights being made from 140-154?
            Bolded answers those questions. I am on record as bellieving this isn't floyd's last fight.

            I don't think there will be "a man" at 147 or 154 immediately upon floyd retiring. I think that will be determined by who wins fights. I think we will have am answer by next May or June.

            If Wilder beats WLad, he will be the new face of the sport. If this doesn't happen, expect Canelo or the Canelo/GGG winner to occupy that spot, unless the US fan base begins to feel a certain way and gravitates toward Crawford-who IMO benefits the most from floyd retiring.

            As for fights being made, some have happened and I expect more to happen in the future, not just at 140-154 but FW as well. I do not expect to see TR fighters fight AH managed fighters which will still be an issue.

              Idiot, ok let me dumb it down for u.

              If floyd at GGG fought at anywhere from 154.1-160 then seeing as though Floyd never fought abouv LMW, Will his resume considered weaker then GGG's?

              Now about Pac, why did you add him knowing that he wont be here much longer than Floyd? All others u mentioned will be here for at least 5 more years.

                You know, when you post like this, the last thing you should call anyone, is "idiot". Floyd is actually a 2 time light middleweight champion. Or maybe even 3. I can't remember if Canelo had a strap. Furthermore resume and man to beat, aren't the same thing. So just because Khan had a some what decent resume at 140, he still hasn't done anything remotely close to making him the welterweight man to beat. Especially when his pops will be campaigning there too.

                I'll ask you again, what did I say about Pacman exactly? I suggest you go back and reread whatever it is you think you saw.
