    If Floyd can only find justification or a way out of his commitment to face PAC, chances are he will pick Amir Khan over Manny as his next opponent for a less risky fight in what seems to be his own way of preserving his unblemished career record.

    Now that Khan has won against Devon with a UD , Floyd can make a good case for a possible fight in Khan's hometown. The problem now is that Floyd has just made the public believe that he has finally decided to pick Pacquiao for his next fight.

    To abort the nearly done deal, Floyd needs to justify his move for a way out or he gets massive public protest and rejection for his misleading statements and his credibility will suffer if he cannot present a good case to the public for a sudden change in his recently announced decision.

    If indeed it is true that Floyd is afraid to face Pacquiao in the ring for fear of losing his unblemished record, then he needs to find a credible way out of the Pacquiao fight.

    It appears though that there is NO way out from the Pacquiao fight at this time because his statement accepting Pacquiao's challenge and setting a date for the fight to happen are now of public knowledge following his televised announcement.

    There is no reason he can't cancel the Pacquiao fight to fight Khan instead. They can just say negotiations didn't come through. I think Pacquiao is the easier fight for him, so cancellation is not likely.

    He won't fight Khan in Khan's hometown. It will be in Vegas or bust.


    He's gonna duck both Khan and Pacquiao. Two guys who would beat him.

    He hasn't said he prefers khan pactoll.

    However, khan beating Alexander is a way bigger accomplishment then pac beating Chris. Hope Floyd still negotiates with team pac and pac agrees.

    He didn't Maidana kicked his ass in first fight despite pillow gloves Floyd had to call in Kenny Bayless to do a Cortez hatchet job for the rematch. Given a level playing field Manny kicks Floyds ass too But Floyd wont allow a level playing field

    Floyd wont fight anywhere but at home in Vegas . He knows he'll be "looked after" there Kenny The Minder Bayless is his knew protector. The commission give him a free reign its gotten ridiculous

    This is my impression too. The fast combos have nothing behind them, though he is capable of throwing punches with good power behind them. The problem is when he does do that it is not with great speed. But he's able to use the fast combos to confuse his opponents and keep them busy so he can position himself for one or two heavier shots. This is what he did with the body shot that knocked Maidana down.

    Who has the better resume Khan or Pacquiao?
    Both has been KO'd but Pacquiao deserves the fight against Mayweather more than Khan.

    Also mind you, Pacquiao is currently top 2 p4p, behind Mayweather.

    Purely with me eyes I say Khan has the faster hands even in throwing combinations. But because Khan fights in longer range, I think Pac still beat him when punches connect.
