    He might have a point......dangerous, yes..... But not necessarily a tougher fight. Kahn is very fast......faster than Manny or Floyd at this stage.....he's also long and rangy. He can connect from outside and get maximum power at the very end of his punches. Thus...... He's a more dangerous foe for Mayweather however.... Manny is a southpaw, just as fast as Floyd and is a relentless pressure fighter. Amir is a busy fighter but in order for him to have a real shot at beating Floyd he will have to increase his workrate......manny wouldn't have to make any major adjustments to his style becuase it's the polar opposite of Floyd's which would be the fire to Floyd's ice.

    Seriously doubt that. Pac on his worst day blasts Khan out imo. As a matter fact, despite being a pacman fan I feel that he might not have that much power anymore. That doesn't matter tho. Khan is tailor made for pac. Its good night even if Pac punched like Malinaggi

    I did not have a great deal of respect for Paulie as a fighter, nor do I really respect his opinions.

    BUT...

    After watching Mayweather-Maidana II, I think Floyd has lost several steps in every way due to age. I never really have noticed it before, not even in the prior Maidana fight.

    I think everyone is a more dangerous opponent now for Floyd.

    Despite my respect for what he has achieved, I believe he is only going to fight those he knows he can beat in his next couple of fights, which may eliminate both Khan and Pac from consideration. Garcia may also be a risk for him.

    I am a Pacquiao fan and had been hoping we were finally around to that, but I think Floyd is going to choose two easier fights and keep the "0".
