    amir kahn is no longer the wbc silver 140 champ so i dont know what floyd is talking about

    and i think that everyone will agree that amir does not have strong punch resistance

    khan is young so i will credit him with that

    Pac's better accuracy is due to his slightly noticeably better speed. The faster your punch can get to it's target, the more chance you have of hitting them and where you wanted to hit them. It's not due to an intellect of setting him up better.

    Agree on everything else, stance is a big one I missed. All else is are things I was not trying to get into, details, which makes all boxers very different. The overall, basic, "surface" is what I was sticking to which is pretty much the only way we can compare boxers since when you get into the details they're very different. Thanks for your but I still believe what I said.

    If Khan could fight smart, and had real top-notch skills, then he wouldn't be Amir Khan.

    It doesn't matter if he fights a good gameplan. He still lacks the ability for someone levels above him like Floyd.

    shaq and steve nash are very much alike in the free throw line because they both hold the ball with 2 hands when shooting free throws.

    Just Rik well said I think that's exactly his plan, if he finds khan really tricky pac fight will never happen. Personally khan has been to inactive I think he is not the fighter he was, could be a nightmare for Floyd but we all know he will try and be macho at some point and get stopped,

    Khan has been calling Floyd out for a long time and I guess Floyd feels like it's his turn. Pac will get his shot and it will be a good fight but he just has to wait his turn. I don't hear Pac talking a lot of **** about it just these posters. Actually, I think he's saving Pac for his last fight and that's his prerogative. His last fight is in 2015 so all Pac needs to do is stay busy and viable.

    Oh I see. This is the excuse that *****s will use

    That "Khan has been calling him out and that's why Floyd picked him and he is saving Pacquiao for his last fight" :lol::lol::rofl

    But Floyd just said he doesn't pick his opponents and his team does that. That completely goes against your already ******ed reasoning.

    I don't need to make excuses for Floyd, Whenever he fights Pac, that's his business. Contrary to what you believe Pac don't carry no weight. He's just another buster waiting his turn. If Floyd gets to him fine, If he don't , I gives no f uck.

    Calling out is just for the media and hype. Everyone talks about fighting the big names. All that matters is what happens when you get to negotations.

    Aaron Pryor: (crashes Leonard's press conference) "I want to fight"

    (Leonard offers half a mil, about 10 times what he made a few months earlier to win the title against Cervantes).

    Aaron Pryor: "That's it? $500,000?"

    Now I'll give credit for creativity when Archie Moore wanted Rocky Marciano. He would talk about fighting him and created "wanted" posters of Rocky Marciano.

    Khan will never be a nightmare for Floyd unless Floyd is like 40+ years old or something. "Not the fighter he was"?? Khan was never that good anyway to be any kind of threat to Floyd.

    It's not just Khan being too macho, it's the fact that he has poor defense, very shaky balanace and footwork, isn't accurate, his instincts aren't that of a top-level fighter, isn't a smart fighter. Khan could be more disciplined and he'd still get beaten handily.

    Khan's best chance is if Floyd suffers a freak injury and breaks his leg or something.

    Khan is a far more legit fight than Rios. And I don't care for the Khan/Mayweather match-up that much either.

    The only interest I have in the fight is seeing Khan get his mouth shut finally. I don't feel Khan has any real shot at beating Mayweather.

    Khan does not have the skills or the chin.

    The only questions is what round Khan gets stopped, or if Mayweather wins 10-2, 11-1, or 12-0.
