    Khan believes Pacquiao’s speed would be the decisive factor in any contest with Mayweather. “I’ve trained with both of them, and I have to back my guy - my guy is Manny Pacquiao and I think Manny might take the fight with his speed.”
    “A lot of people forget that speed is power. You can’t take it away from Mayweather, who is a fast fighter. But when you take speed, with amount of punches you throw - Manny throws a lot of punches with speed, whereas Mayweather is more a single-shot fighter. He’s still quick, but I don’t think single shots will keep Manny Pacquiao away from Mayweather, whereas I know combinations will push Mayweather back.
    “I would say the fight looks 60% towards Manny’s favour, and he’s been more active, in the ring more. Mayweather’s performance coming back from retirement looked great though, and that was one fight - maybe in the second fight he might look even better.”

    Khan the same guy that says he has the ability to beat Floyd and Marquez. He aint worth listening to or reading about. He's always making ridiculous comments and as for this well he aint gonna say Floyd will win cos Manny would Knock him out in sparring and Amir don't wanna get Knocked out no more.

    Khan proves how dumb he is. Floyd is faster, and uses his speed better and more effectively. 60% in Mannys favor? No, 85% in Floyds favor. Awful fight for Pac

    Amir is biased but he does have experience with both. I don't agree that PAC would win but I do agree that PAC's speed will be a great asset in there with Floyd. PAC could win.....but I don't see it happening given the styles and the size advantage Floyd would have. But anything can happen and wouldn't be surprised if PAC did win somehow. I'd just be MORE suprised if Floyd didn't outpoint PAC over 12 competitive rounds.

    Khan trained with Floyd for like two or three days, when Floyd was only ticking over in the gym.

    A bit different to watching Pacquiao train at full speed for DLH and Hatton :nut

    I would favor PBF but Pacman's speed is the factor that gives him a chance. PBF won't be fighting JMM. Pacman will be darting in and out and throwing blazing combinations.

    This fight needs to happen. I hope Pacman beats Cotto.

    Khan also said Hatton v Pacman was 50/50 fight. Now if u believe that there is no way you can say Pacman v PBF is a 60/40 fight in Pacman's favour.

    Really? I think he's abit of a plank, Mayweather may shoot off one punch at a time, but he has enough power to keep a fighter honest and he punishes mistakes. That's why fighters are hesitant to engage.
