Don't think this one has been asked before (I searched the threads before posting).
Does Amir Khan actually pose a more difficult style match up for Mayweather than Manny Pacquiao does?
Khan has a better jab than Pacquiao, he's taller, rangier (4 inches more reach than Pacquiao), less powerful, about equal footwork, equal defense, equal speed. But Pacquiao seems to have that phantom power which could be the deciding factor.
Tactically, they're both trained by Roach so the game plan would probably be similar. Most of Roach's fighters seem to fight in a very similar way, sort of like a stick and move, ambush style. So, is Khan a tougher fight for Mayweather, or is Pacquiao?
