    I slowly get the feeling pound for pound has nothing to do weight and more to do with those kind of £'s.

    You have a point. Whitaker fought the #1 P4P fighter at the time in Chavez, and Jones fought the #2 P4P fighter at the time in Toney. Floyd and Manny should fight each other to determine the #1 P4P fighter.

    Just when i thought it was going to happen, im reading rumours about Pacqiauo-Vargas.

    I honestly gave up on this fight years ago.

    If it does/did happen, May would be the perfect timing.

    I think people just need to accept that Pacquiao-Mayweather will never happen.

    It probably wont, you're right.

    Would be really interesting to know who Floyds last 2 fights will be.

    One will obviously be the Khan/Alexander winner.

    Maybe Brook/Thurman/Bradley?

    Speaking of P4P, I predict Terence Crawford will be in the top 10 P4P soon.

    I think Khan would start strong, but Floyd would adapt pretty quickly and slow down his offense.

    Virgil Hunter said Amir was nowhere near ready for Floyd at this point, that says a lot.

    Marquez has fought Pacqiauo twice and Bradley recently

    thats better than Khan

    He will be the first guy to beat both mayweather and pacquaio but these guys are ducking him.

    He has everything speed,power a great boxing iq

    if mayweather wants to challenge cotto vs canelo he has to fight khan

    if khan manages to beat both mayweather and pacquiao(which I think he is the only fighter that could beat both) how high would you rate him?

    Being timed and countered counts as being outboxed. And master boxers don't struggle with old Julio Diaz.

    khan did not perform well in that fight but are you saying great fighters never had bad fights with a inferior fighter?
