    Amir Khan is faster than Pac and he packs quite a big punch. I think Pacquaio has an advantage, but he needs to watch out, one mistake and Khan might end it.

    Pac gets KO'ed by JMM on a well timed shot that would've stopped just about anyone, and now all of a sudden Khan can beat him? Absurd.

    I think Pacquiao would beat Khan, too, he got slightly better defense and more punching power. But the filipino has been knocked out before, by noobs. He is one of the best attackers, but vulnerable as the inside of an oyster. If he rushes too much, Khan actually could take it, if he places his punches well. He needs to watch out, though, Pacquaio won't need to hit him much in order to win. It would be an exciting match.

    Is this a real question? Pac would destroy him.

    Since when has Khan become a slow puncher? You forget that his hands are fast and he got better reach than Pacquiao. If he places a punch well and Manny Pacquaio gets just a little bit too confident, Khan could KO him. The question is, if Pacquaio can rush through the punches of Khan, which I think he can, but it will be hard, and maybe he can't. The fight needs to happen.

    And those KO's happened when? A lifetime ago, literally and figuratively. Pac has only lost to a near prime (slightly past) Morales, JMM officially once, and that disgrace decision with Bradley in what, a decade? While establishing a pretty good resume of beating elite, or once elite fighters, in impressive fashion. Khan isn't even in the same class. If Peterson, juiced or not, and Garcia gave him that much trouble................Pac beats him handily. It might be exciting for several rounds.

    The only man Peterson lost against is TIMOTHY BRADLEY, dude. There is no shame in Khan losing to Peterson, Peterson is a great boxer and it was a close fight, a split decision. Some even think Khan won the fight, I'm just neutral.

    As for the Danny Garcia fight, it just exposed Khan's and Pac's common weaknesses - their soft bodies and jaws, despite the power their bodies can produce on the offensive. One wellplaced punch can stop Khan or Pac, and they're both offensive artists, making this a very explosive fight possibility.
