    Notice how people who believe it's Khan say the same thing. His speed and reach. They only talk about attributes. They don't talk about technical skills.

    It's because Khan isn't as good technically as Floyd.

    Speed is a skill, these guys practice and learn to be fast. And couple that with his attribute of reach, and you have a deadly combination to challenge Floyd with. Something we have never seen him against.

    Who'd win?

    Again, Floyd is the one with the longer reach.

    Don't know, but Khan has a far better chance than Pac. Pac I believe is gonna worked May 2nd.

    It's my opinion that Floyd would have always beaten Pac.

    Mine also, and I'm glad Floyd Pac is happening instead of Khan because it's just time we get it over with already but I just strongly believe Floyd Khan is a far better fight.

    Pretty insulting to suggest it's Khan, Pacquiao is twice the fighter Khan even thinks he is in his wildest dreams.

    hes done more in his career but at this point, and styles makes fights, i say Khan. Thats not insulting to Pac at all. Khan is in his prime, has a better jab, throws more accurate combos, thats my take on it.

    Pac possibly hits harder (which im not sure on that) has better footwork and throws punches at different angles. but he's WAYYY more wide open for counters compared to Khan. mayweather is gonna have a field day picking off Pac. Im not so sure he could do that with Khan, espcially if Khan works his jab

    Pacquiao is a much harder fight than Khan,,,...
    But if you put it this way:
    Height: Khan
    Reach: Khan
    Hand Speed: Khan
    Foot Speed: Pacquiao
    Power: Pacquiao
    Chin: Pacquiao
    Style (vs Mayweather): Khan

    Khan could look better on paper,,.... But would you bet on Khan??? I won't,,... Because if you put those all together, Pacquiao is just world's apart from Khan,,... Just stating the obvious,,...

    Come on guys let's face it little Manny will be walking into shots all night, his lack of reach will be his downfall, the more Manny tries to reach the more Floyd will pick him off..

    I bet you guys Khan has the same if not longer reach than Floyd, I don't believe them stats that Floyd got 1inch reach over Khan, I think it's the same.

    Reach is very important factor if you take in how Khan would set his gamelan different than other fighters which have fought Floyd..

    Note most of the guys Floyd have fought recently have been looking to KO him and in doing that they gave away any reach advantage if they had any by trying to close the range and playing into Floyd's hands and him picking them off and countering them..

    Vs Khan this won't be the case, him matching his reach Khan can stand off Floyd and try get off first with his jab which is faster than Floyd's.. Khan most times will beat Floyd to the punch and get off first, Floyd hasn't seen than since facing Zab...

    This would be a crazy boxing guess match, and people who think Khan is not on that boxing level and Floyd will adjust, you got another thing coming, Khan has in his locker to outbox even Floyd trust me..

    Khan wins rounds that what he does, Floyd wins rounds that he do to, so it's a great match up..

    Manny will get picked apart May 2nd trust..

    Khan's jab is miles better than Paquiao, and that was the point. Additionally, Khan's jab is on par with floyd's one. Even faster, actually.

    Very true. I like Paquiao more than Khan, i don't even like Khan, the guy is a lost narcissist, but i can't avoid to admit than Khan is actually better than Paquiao overall, bigger, longer, faster, Paquiao has no jab while Khan's jab is lighting fast and rangy and accurate.

    Paquiao may have a better chin, but in that match up against Floyd, it's the better boxer that will win.

    Always remember how Floyd promised to fight the winner of the poll, but he refused when we didn't pick Maidana. He fought Maidana (and arguably draw) in spite of Maidana being even the less popular and remunerative fighter. Wich says a lot, really.
