Am I the only one that see a PBF vs PAC fight as an after thought?

    Obviously people would watch it, but after the Marquez fight, I believe their are other fighters that would give FLoyd much more trouble. I like Khan because he can talk just as much trash and he's very offensive and slick. Martinez at 160 or a catch weight for the 160lbs belt because he can box and he has a wallop of a punch. Floyd is getting older and he doesn't retreat as much. Probably why he's been getting more KO's because he's been sitting on his punches more.

    I'd be interested to see if Khan's output drops against Floyd or would he come in as a bundle of energy as always. I believe he would bring it to him especially after what happened in D.C. Sure it wouldn't captivate the world, but I see these two as far more dangerous opponents than PAC.

    LOL @ Khan being a serious threat to Mayweather.

    Yeah he's real slick, his wonderful defensive skills of moving away and covering up.

    Pacquiao is an infinitely more interesting fight than seeing Mayweather pick apart Khan.

    Khan's on the B circuit. Levels below Pacquiao.

    PAC and PBF is an afterthought to me more because it has gone on for so freaking long I am no longer interested in hearing about it until the fight is made. Is a joke.

    Yes I believe if someone is to beat him they'd have to be very offensive. After Marquez picked PAC apart, I only keep interest because of the money I can make from it, but I don't think Floyd will be challenged. Khan is more brash and obviously takes more risks. I think he would bring it to Floyd, PAC would be more respectful and his output would probably drop.

    Correction.. Mayweather still doesn't really KO anybody outside of Hatton lately.... he cheap shotted Ortiz and KD'd Marquez.... I agree he does not run away as much... he definitely stands in the pocket ready to trade at times but he was more aggressive at superfeatherweight and lightweight to me.. now he's more of a potshot artist but then again, he could unleash problems on probably any fighter if he chooses too.. we saw what happened to Mosley and a little to Ortiz....

    But in the long run, I agree... Pac will NOT give Mayweather problems.. Khan could stylistically be more of a challenge but Khan ain't mentally good enough to stay in the ring longer then 6 rounds with May.... Martinez would be the hardest fight...

    But yeah, Mayweather schools and brutalizes both Pac and Khan to me... which one will be close???? Not so sure....

    I've moved on some also from this fight. Boxing has gotten younger, and there are so many other great matchups without Manny vs Floyd, even at 147.

    Not me. I'm glad others like you think it's an afterthought much like the days when people thought people were crazy to think Pac could fight 130 and above and then getting to laugh at them nonstop when Pac continued to win. It gets boring having Pac as the overwhelming favorite always because everyone is afraid to pick against him.

    Bottomline is if all Money has for competition is Pacroid, Martinez and Khan, Money will fight every 6 months and make 200M!

    Pac can do anything Khan can do, only better, and he has concussive power.

    still too early for khan. people should really stop bringing him up this early in the game. but yes i can see him being trouble styles wise and also being taller+reach(i think). hopefuly this happens before floyd gets to old

    but yeah i would rather see martinez vs floyd. the only reason i would want to see floyd vs pac is to put kill off the *******s

    LOL...so Pac losing to a HOF in Marquez means that he will be easy for Floyd. Yet Khan who lost to Peterson would be a tougher fight for Floyd? Explain your ******edness...

    Khan would get dropped in Hatton fashion of this I'm sure

    Floyds biggest problem would be prime margarito or someone with the same 'skillset' but better footwork

    That would put him under CONSTANT pressure, work the body well, not be deterred by his shots

    Khan really doesn't have the brain to trouble Floyd
