    Khan still lunges, and is still hittable.

    We all know Floyds one of the best counter punchers out there. But answer me this, how do you counter punch khan when he's so fast and arguably faster than floyd when he's throwing 3-4 punches in combinations? The only way is to punch with Khan like Garcia did and Floyd doesn't do that, hence its a stylistic nightmare for floyd. Khan throws too many in comparison to Floyds single pot shots. I honestly can't see floyd winning. Just picture yourself this, khan takes a 6 round lead, at 38 years of age what can floyd do vs a taller, stronger, faster fighter in khan who is an expert in controlling range?

    Floyd would adapt after 3-4 rounds.

    lol When's the last time Pac has ko'd anyone? Pac would be an easier fight for Khan because of Pac's limited reach. Khan is just talking trash trying to get a fight and some people just eat that stuff up.

    Also, Pacquiao doesn't have the best fundamentals. He drops his hands, he has poor balance, and he lunges.

    Tell me how would he adapt? He can't counter khans blistering combos, he wouldn't dare to punch with Khan and we all know Floyd has no power. How exactly is Floyd going to win rounds of Khan, I can't see it in anyway or form.

    Both are equally impossible fights for Khan to win ... but he gets beaten up slightly more badly by Pac.

    You think Mayweather would let Khan fight his fight by choosing when to engage? Mayweather could press the action like he did in the Judah fight and go inside of Khan to take away his reach and speed if he chose to.

    they aren't always accurate combos. Floyd can make Khan miss like Mccloskey did but then actually throw something back and land it on the magic off button.

    Marquez is 0-1 against Mayweather and arguably didn't win a round. Marquez certainly didn't think he would do any better in a rematch.

    Khan would be knocked out Pacquiao and quickly. At some point in the opening few rounds Manny would connect and it'd be lights out Amir. Now, Mayweather Khan is a little more interesting and khan may bank the first few rounds before he gets timed and then starts getting beaten up.

    Either way I can't see him winning unless one of the Manny/Floyd gets ancient over night.
