    :good:good:good:good You get a four "thumbs up" from me on this post. All of a sudden, Khan is the second coming of Ray Robinson but after Mayweather beat him, he would be a "china-chinned bum". This place is hilarious.

    Pac? Easy route? Pac would happily trade with him and take his head off. He of all people knows this.

    And Floyd would time him too. He can outwork Floyd but I'm not pretty sure about that myself.

    Amir would die in the ring. What looked like an ez victory over Devo got Con's face repainted. God man, Money would end this dudes career. 12 rounds of Mayweather work will retire this clown. He looked like hell after Devo's debacle ?

    Yes, I know Paulie can't beat Pac. Paulie is a fanboy at times. Collazo hit Khan way way too much for a dead man walking. That was not a masterful maintenance of range throughout, Khan gets rattled and forgets what he is doing.

    I can see all the weaknesses a power punching come forward fighter would exploit against Khan, whose style is repetitive and whose tricks are all based on athleticism and a 121212 blitz in and out.

    When did Floyd become an easy win?

    Put Khan against Thurman, Maidana II, Matthysse, Cherry Garcia II or Provodnikov and u would see him floored again.

    To deserve a fight against TBE , Khan should avenge his loss against Garcia or to beat a young - undefeated fighter like Brook or Thurman.:yep

    Thurman will not earn him a floyd fight in public's eye view. However...brook, garcia, bradley definitily will in everyone's eye.

    Floyd better stick to cherry picking the tailor made come forward plodders he loves to feast on, Khan takes that 0 and makes it look easy!

    Khans hands and feet way too fast for Floyds old legs to deal with. His safety first style means he won't be punching with Khan, he'll find it hard to get his punches off and even if he does land the odd counter here and there Floyd doesn't have the power to hurt him. Alexander hits as hard if not harder than Floyd and Khan ate the few flush shots he landed without flinching.

    The usual backfoot potshotting Floyd employs will be rendered useless, Khans size, length and lateral movement would force Floyd to come forward where he'd be picked off by quickfire jabs and straight rights. Khans superior jab would be a key factor

    Lets not forget Devon beat Maidana 10-0, a guy Floyd struggled pretty badly with. Khan beats Floyd by wide UD, absolutely no doubt in my mind

    For Khan specifically Floyd would most likely be easier. Pacquiao Khan would be a brawl, where Pac would have a distinct advantage.

    Khan not respecting Floyd's physical strength is his first mistake.

    Floyd has a good hook too. Look at the Hatton fight.

    Brook and thurman have both have terrible resumes, aren't known and bring no money. I would not like to see Mayweather waste his time with these two until they have proven themselves. Nobody wants to see Garcia get schooled 12-0, Bradley looked pretty average in his last fight and would lose also. Only Khan and Pac are legitimate threats to floyd and would sell.

    Well can you blame him to wanting Pac over Khan? Khan is a nightmare for Floyd.
