    i do agree khans style COULD pose some problems based on styles but pac is a differnt animal who would hurt the coward the best amir would hope for is win on points he would get NO KNOCKDOWNS

    Pac is way more accurate than Khan, that's not even debatable. So we'll stop there.

    And yes Alexander is a slow paced fighter, as are most counter punchers. I was not even talking fast as in speed, but either way Alexander is not considered fast, but good speed with medium to low output.
    Khan a decent fight, but way too many flaws that even good boxers can take advantage of. Now Pac had weaknesses as well, but in the last ten years only two other fighters could take advantage and that was other atg fighters.

    Every fighter has weaknesses, what separates the greats is who can take advantage of it..

    Bradley takes the gamble and does that insane sh!t where he bends low and weaves around randomly. It's a combination of crazy combined w/ bravado. It WORKS because it's random as hell and there's no telling where his head is going to be. But it carries high risks.

    Floyd does NOTHING of the sort. NOTHING. He relies on his shoulder roll and his length (height) to lean far back and take the power off of shots.

    I think Pac is the more dangerous fight. Khan is a threat, because of his speed. But, he fights in a style that Floyd has seen a thousand times. Pac makes a lot of mistakes. But, he can be unpredictable in his attack. And he can deliver his power shots from any angle.

    I don't care that much, but I think Pacquiao is just as fast, his combos are just as good, he has more power, his angles are more awkward, and his constant herky jerky rhythmic moving would all be a bigger obstacle than anything Khan could bring to the table. I think Floyd would KO Khan with a counter just like he did with Hatton, even with his feather fists.

    It is an extremely marketable fight.
    Very well possible since it looks like Arum is trying to put the kibosh on a Pac-Floyd showdown.
    Either fight --- Floyd wins.

    Before Mayweather gives Khan a fight don't you think he should take care of his Prescott problems:patsch. Don't forget he also has Garcia problems:patsch.

    :bbb

    I can't believe I actually feel bad sometimes doing threads on obscure boxers people have never heard of, yet this TS feels absolutely no guilt starting a pointless thread based around this nonsense which I've seen posted maybe 50 times in the past week on various threads.

    We wouldn't mind at all if Khan gets a first crack at Floydie. No doubt Floyd wins and the fight with Packi has to happen after imo.

    I agree w everything except I doubt Floyd could Ko Kahn. Floyd isn't koing anybody.
