    No fighter ever lands all their punches within a combination, its there to stop counters :patsch. The fact is he had 43% PCT and you said he hardly hit him all night, so admit you were wrong. Thurman was on his bike vs a 40 year old bundu he was terrible. Garcia has already lost to Herrera, he wouldn't stand a chance vs a 147 khan.

    Cotto decent chin
    Marquez decent chin

    43% which is not exact and most of which were pitty pat flurries. Khan gets brutally KOed by Garcia in a rematch or against Thurman. You know it and is why you don't want Khan in there with punchers. If it was up to you he would fight feather fisted oppoents his whole career so you could post his compubox numbers like they mean something. :lol::rofl:patsch

    Even Roach says Khan is faster than Pac.

    I heard many say they have the same speed but one thing that is all agreed upon and khan himself knows this is pac is a much bigger puncher

    The question should be who deserves the fight more than Khan and that list is pretty small.

    Pacman and Bradley Garcia other than that I am struggling to think who deserves the fight or has done enough to warrant it.

    The only options for Floyd should be pacman garcia bradley khan brook, personally I think that was marquez's last hurrah and not sure marquez could bring it again with a top level opponent at his age now.

    Its a fascinating fight. Mayweather will be tested without a doubt.

    He has to fight either Khan or Manny next. Anybody else is inexcusable so his next fight is going to be no cake walk.

    He has enough of a fan-base that a fight with Floyd could fill Wembley stadium. It would do well on PPV in the UK as well, which is very important considering it could be somewhat of a tough sell in the US.

    The Hatton fight did almost the same number of PPV's in Britain a it did in America, which is amazing considering the relative sizes of the markets.

    I think Khan's dominance over Alexander would make it a little easier to swallow for US audiences too.

    As for what the consensus on Khan's chances are? He has a group of fans who'd favour him over SRR but most people think his speed would make the fight interesting over the first half of the fight before Floyd eventually does what he does. Still, the prospect of an interesting Floyd fight is enough that this is a more than acceptable match-up.

    Having said that, would the fans rather see Floyd-Pac and Khan-Brook? Abso-fvcking-lutely.

    I can't believe all the pro Khan hype because of 1 fight, he is the same bum who got destroyed inside a minute by Prescott.

    Floyd likes ducking everyone and retiring until they get battle weary problems

    Lame excuse.

    That's a special excuse and line that Floyd came out specifically for Manny Pacquiao.

    :deal

    So first you were saying his pitty pat flurries were missing and now your saying they weren't:patsch:patsch Khan has offered Garcia the rematch 3 times, and he has rejected them all! Its garcia who doesn't want a piece of the King. Thurman got exposed vs a 40 year old midget, khan would destroy him, he is extremely overhyped just like the next mike tyson aka Porter was :lol::rofl:patsch
