    Funny. People do the same thing with Floyd. Canelo weighed 153 at the weigh in for Trout. Floyds Cw was 152.

    The only difference is Manny has been coming in at the WW limit since he was fighting at 135. Floyd has never come close to the JMW limit.

    Not true, Pac was 142 pounds against DLH. I don't know how anyone can say that Floyd fought a better Cotto, that is pretty stupid considering Pacquaio gave him a beating from Rounds 4-12.

    Khan is being rated the way he performs in the ring, I rarely see bias when it comes to Khan and how the majority rate him. Sure it may sound insulting how overlooked he is in general but that's based on his in-ring ability. He is a solid fighter who simply can't make it at the top level, he has great speed and good power, that's pretty much it. There isn't much ring IQ there if you notice how he fights, most of his attacks are predictable yet some fighters can't counter them because of his speed and nothing else. When he slows down you instantly notice he becomes an easy target for whoever, hell he was an easy target for Maidana, who has zero skills, at some point and almost got sparked. Point is, any fighter that can be timed and caught is predictable otherwise fighters won't be able to predict his next move to time him. Now about Khan's chin, you don't really need to have hands of stone to hurt or drop him. Just watch his fights with Limmond and Gomez. Hell even Prescott wasn't exactly a vicious puncher, has he knocked out anyone of significance since sparking Khan under a minute?. Trust me, Mayweather can and most likely will knock him out if he decides to push for it.

    Regarding the Garcia fight, as a Garcia fan myself(thanks to that fight) I don't think he was being totally outclassed. I don't know why people say that, I've seen that fight countless times already and the more I see it the more I notice Garcia was always throwing back. Steward(RIP) and Lampley were gladly commentating and praising anything Khan did in there, it was only Kellerman who kept reminding them that Garcia is throwing and landing some serious shots. Sure, Khan won the first two rounds but he was hardly outclassing him when he was eating some serious shots in return.

    this folks is why Mayweather's legacy is sh!t. cause he gets away with it, with sh!tty fans like these. see what happens when Floyd-Guerrero flopped? he fought Canelo.

    FFS! Khan has fast hands and thats it! He has no chin, no boxing brain, no defence, no pwer. How the F is this competitive fight? Business sense yes but in boxing terms. Comon get out of here. He doesnt have enough in his toolbox. Comon people look at his last fight, that says it all.

    Um. Pac was 148 on fight. DLH 147. And he did fight a better Cotto. I didnt say he had a better performance I just said he fought a better version. That happens a lot with Pac and Floyd. Pac looks better but against far lesser versions than Floyd fought.

    how was Cotto a better version he just got handed a beating from Pac. yeah he was coming off a great win against Margarito there is no disputing that and it was a great win for Floyd because Cotto had a great training camp an was confident going in to the fight after avenging one of his loses. but I don't think Cotto is meant for 154 and it showed in his fight against trout the man is only 5.7 if he put the effort in an stayed at 147 he would have been a force I could see him beating all the top guys there except Floyd and Pac of course. any Cotto was a great win for both Pac and Floyd and you cant really point out which one is better but obviously you will say Floyd because you like him more but that is were the bias comes in because if Cotto was a better win for Floyd after Pac had already Beat him, then Hatton has to be a better win for Pac since Hatton was at his natural weight an had 8 oz gloves. but you as a Floyd fan will not agree with that you will see everything Floyd does as better than anything Pac can do. were I am a fan of both so less biased than the likes of you an MVC also I would say Floyd win against Hatton is better than Pac's because Hatton was undefeated since am not biased.
