    A prime Floyd and a prime Pac against a prime Khan I would give both of them a 60-40 edge in that fight to beat Khan, but that still means Khan had a decent enough chance (more so than most) to beat them both.
    At 42, and 40? Well he should!!!! Lol! He is at the prime of his life. But guess what he still wouldn’t be favored over them. Hmmm why do you think so?? Don’t you think it’s because Khan looked like shyt in his last fight?? Do you think Manny or Floyd would get KD by that bum when they were 31???
    Do you think MANNY or floyd would get KD by Vargas at 42 and 40??? The answer is still NO!

    Khan didn’t beat anyone close to Manny and Floyd’s level while those guys beat many more that can beat KHAN!!

    Oh how i wish pac fights him next so that we’ll never hear his delusional ass again.
    He’d still probably say something like this if he losses:

    “Pac would have beaten floyd had he fought him that way”
    Lmao! Khan is the greatest joker it’s a shame you can’t see it

        Khan wants to fight Mayweather and Pacquiao because they are the two best paying fights any welterweight can get. The problem is he wants these fights handed to him on a silver platter without doing a damn thing to earn them except beat cherry picked easy opponents and even they knock him on his ass. A movie about boxing's biggest most annoying crybaby chasing fights he doesn't deserve. Wow. If Khan really wants to improve his legacy he should try to avenge his defeats to Peterson, Garcia and Prescott. They are all active welterweights who would love to rematch him.

          Like it or not he underperformed against a guy Danny and Spence KOed with ease years ago. If that was good enough of a win for you to prove he has indeed a chance against Floyd and Manny wow!!
          Like I said, even right where those two ATGs are shot as hell he still wouldn’t be favored over them eventhough he is 31! That alone tells a lot!!

          Khan fought the same algieri that got pac knocked around 6 times from pillar to post and didn’t win a single round. Khan underperformed badly on that one as well!

          And I fully give Khan credit for that good run at 140, including that win over maidana. But that was like 6-8 yrs ago. And he hasn’t done shyt since then.

          Where was Floyd 6-8 yrs ago? Probably Beating Mosley, Marquez and Cotto. Now who did Khan beat close to them???

          All the guys Khan lost to, Floyd would toy with.

          You are likely just in love with Khan’s flashiness, and mistake it for skills. Don’t get me wrong he was really good at one point in his career. But that was a long time ago.
          He never lived up to anything, he’s already 31 and hasn’t touch top 5 p4p once and likely be easily forgotten if he retires right now. What has this dude really achieved??
          That's the point. Khan wanted to create a legacy by fighting (and potentially beating) the 2 best p4p fighters in the world but he was avoided by them at every attempt and at all costs. When Khan's name was in the mix, both Pac and Floyd elected to fight easier fighters who Khan himself either already beat or would have beaten - Maidana (Khan beat as a pro), Ortiz (Khan beat as an amateur by 2nd Round KO), Guerrero, Berto, Bradley (who himself also publicly avoided Khan), Rios.

          Floyd and Pac chose those guys over Khan because they were fights which they had no doubt they could win - against Khan there was always a doubt due to his style so they avoided him.

          So Khan was attempting to achieve something great by beating the greats but they constantly avoided him. That's what ultimately led to him going up 2 divisions in search of a big fight to face Canelo. He was trying to achieve something great in his own division but the 2 greatest fighters ducked him.

            Proof of where this guy's heart is. Rather than working his way back he's been making a "poor me" film. Guy has wasted so much time that I've lost respect for him.

                It's a factual documentary about his life. The facts are that he is a high profile pro boxer who was fighting in the same division as Manny and Floyd, and who was chasing fights with them for years only to be repeatedly avoided. The movie is just a reflection of reality and it actually doesn't focus on Floyd and Manny much, it's more about everyday life in Team Khan. Floyd and Manny are sort of the subplot rather than the main story.

                  Why has Khan never challenged for a title at 147?

                    Sorry, man. Disagree with it all.

                    Khan hasnt ever knocked out a good fighter, fyi...so knocking out a guy who’s never REALLY been dropped? Call me skeptical.


                    Last time we saw Khan in with real eite talent, he was knocked out of the entire sport for two years in one of the most devastating knockouts of recent memory.

                    I’d give khan a “live dog” title against the RETIRED, 40+ year old mayweather.

                    Pac probably still sparks him...judging by how hard it looks like every punch that lands on Khan seems.


                    I just..disagree, man. We’ll leave it at that.

                      It's not out the realms of possibility that Pac could stop Khan because he did stop Matthysse but that is Pac's only KO at the full 147 limit and his only KO in 9 years, believe it or not. Matthysse might simply have been shot at this point. He did get KOd by Viktor Postol 3 years ago who has 39% KO ratio, and no one was expecting that. But if Pacquiao doesn't manage to KO Khan, then Khan may well win it by UD. He's never lost to a southpaw and he has a lot of experience sparring Pac when he was prime.

                      Floyd hasn't been properly dropped because his defense was so good. Against McGregor it was significantly poorer.. he was getting hit by a novice boxer more than he's ever been hit in almost any fight previously. Whether that was by choice or simply due to father time catching up with him is still unclear.

                      Khan, with his speed and decent power would land even more on Floyd than McGregor did and he'd also be able to make Floyd run into shots (if Floyd fought the same aggressive way). He'd also be more evasive than McGregor and avoid many more of Floyd's shots. I just couldn't see Floyd taking that amount of punishment from Khan for the full 12 rounds - basically he'd be hit more than any other fight he's been in, and hit by a decent puncher with tremendous speed. But that's purely if Floyd fought the same way as he fought McGregor, which of course he might have genuinely planned to change his style up for that one fight and so might still be able to fight as his old defensive self just fine, in which case it would then become a 50-50 fight.
