    Like Pacquiao said, it wasn't his intentions to bring up the injury. But someone in the media brought it to light in the post-fight press conference. He has also said "let's give Floyd credit, he won the fight".

    Because Khan is a hype job. There's not one thing that he can do that Mayweather can't do better. Nothing I hate more than fighters who say they're number 1 and don't back it up. Let Khan try though. Like Floyd said, line them up like bowling pins and he'll knock them all down.

    :huh

    Hype job? Well, he is as much as all fighters who have a hardcore fanbase are hyped. But he has as much talent as any fighter on the planet, Andre Ward himself says Khan is the most gifted guy he's seen in the gym. His technical boxing skills are seriously overrated IMO and he learned a number of bad habits from Roach that didn't suit his abilities/chin and has fought like an idiot at times. He's moving in the right direction under Hunter and he has as good a chance against Floyd as any WW outside of Brook. I can name one thing he has on Floyd that no other top 10 WW can claim, hand speed. But I still think Floyd would beat him handily.

    But that wasn't the point, you were saying you hope he loses to Algieri because of comments like "injury or no injury Khan will go out on his shield". That IS what boxers are supposed to do.

    Really, I remember he told everyone that he himself won the fight.

    He still believes he won the fight, and that's fine. But he's also said on a couple of occasions such as the post-fight press conference, and the interview by the filipinos that he respects the judges decision and that Floyd won the fight, and he deserves credit for that. You can Youtube that and see it for yourself.

    What's not talked about about is the Mayweather Cronie thatwent to Pacquiao's dressing room after the fight to taunt Pacquiao. Probabley the same trash that was talking sh*t to Pacquiao at the weigh-in.

    No, I hope Khan loses to Algieri because of comments like he'd beat Mayweather and deserves a shot. Algieri could by some miracle defeat Khan, and he still wouldn't deserve a shot.

    Khan can't beat Mayweather.

    And on being faster, good job. You found something. He does have faster hands. True point. Still, Mayweather has a quicker mind.

    Well... he has as good a chance of beating Floyd out of any WW not named Kell Brook and I'd rather see Floyd in with a new opponent instead of rematching 2 guys he's already beaten handily in Cotto or Canelo.

    Who would you rather see Floyd fight next outside of a Pac rematch or GGG?

    I don't think Brook would do that well against Mayweather

    I mean Mayweather is old so I suppose any good young welter has a chance at this point but stylistically, I don't think Brook brings anything to the table

    I think he'd do better than any other WW.

    No one really. GGG's the only guy who can beat him and that fight has a 0% chance of happening. And I agree that id like to see a new face, but...I just can't think of anyone who'd he want to fight at this point. Maybe Khan, maybe Pac for another payday. Idk.

    I wouldn't mind seeing that fight though

    Most of the potential fights are at least somewhat interesting

    But unfortunately, we'll probably get Garcia ha ha

    :lol: Probably true. Shoot me if that does end up happening.:dead

    I don't have anything against Danny, I just think he brings the least to the table stylistically to trouble Floyd.
