    Pacquiao hates fighting speed more than Mayweather does. The only reason why Pacquiao would be harder is because of his chin.

    Money has lived a clean life, keeps in shape pre and post fight...even at 36 he'll still be picking off opponents. All you gotta do is look how long Hopkin's been fighting at that level.....forget prime....some people transcend "prime".

    Honestly, I would have it .06% for May and .05% for Pac, but regardless I think this sums it up really. I dont kno why everyone is jumping all over the TC, he didnt say Khan could beat Mayweather, just that between May and Pac, his chances are slightly better against May...which I agree with.

    Against both, I feel he loses no question, however styles make fights and Khan's style would allow for him to have a better showing against May then Pac, but a losing effort regardless.

    And honestly, I think Floyd has very underrated power. Enough to put Khan away. He just isnt willing to showcase it enough. If he let his hands go more, his KO % would be much higher.

    Khan is a world class fighter but McCloskey showed the level he is at i.e. far from the pound for pound great that he claims to be. There are several question marks over Khan and he needs to rematch Prescott and McCloskey before he can address them..

    The particularly funny thing about all this is that McClosky is the whitest, most non-offensive oriented, ridiculously c level version of Mayweather you can find, and Khan couldn't mount his offense against him for anything. The style match up is terrible for Khan, obviously. Have we seen footage of what great fighters look like in their primes? They don't look like Khan against McClosky :(

    Since age is up for discussion -

    Age is so weird in boxing. I've been watching a lot of career sets and it seems slick guys like Camacho and Pernell even Leonard have a definite prime and then still win fights but start to really look more vulnerable, their legs gone.

    I don't know if its drugs aging those 1980s fighters by their late 20s, but Bernard and Manny are definitely not following the normal, expected pattern. Camacho looked pretty invincible before the Rosario fight, Pernell should have beaten Ramirez early in his career and you could see exactly when his legs left because he started losing his balance and getting knocked down in his last like 8 fights.

    Floyd has only shown decreased mobility, but nothing like the shakiness shown by Pernell and Camacho by their late 20s.

    I agree. Khan would have an easier time with money. Pac's style is his kryptonite

    if thinking that makes you feel better then go right ahead, but truth is, kahn isnt good enough to beat either of them.
