    Which is consistent with the model of Mayweather >> Pacquiao >>>>>>>>>>>> Algieri. (given that Pacquiao outclassed Algieri, who just proved himself to be more or less EXACTLY on a level w/ Khan)

    Your pretty much avoiding the question then.
    WHY did a sub-par Manny take MULTIPLE rounds off Mayweather if as you say, Mayweather is flawless against aggressors and speed and volume count for NOTHING? What exactly DID the judges give rounds to Pacquiao for then? Maybe it was crisp, Mayweather-esque counter punching? He did a lot of that did he?

    Obviously this is a rhetorical question. You're over rating Mayweathers ability massively but that doesn't mean he loses the theoretical match-up for me.

    I've been saying Floyd knocks him out (maybe cold) for a while now, and not because I don't like Khan, its because I know what I'm talking about:deal:yep just like I've been saying Algieri would do better tonight than people thought he'd do.

    I don't think that's the case at all. On the contrary, I believe you are grossly overrating Khan's abilities and athleticism (*and I believe you are downplaying his poor habits and lack of ring IQ).

    I still can't believe people still thinking Khan has a chance with Floyd. I can't even see Khan beating Bradly, Thurman, Brook, or Pac.

    If Floyd fight Khan he gets to end his career with a KO win. An easy one.

    Because Manny is a good fighter who punches extremely hard.

    Khan is not and does not.

    Mayweather ktfo Khan in a fight that is not remotely close for any portion of any round.

    One thing that was impressive in Khan in this fight was his conditioning.

    Over-rating them how!? All I'm suggesting is that Khan gives Mayweather more trouble and a harder fight than Manny just did. Also that his athleticism is one of the best in the division.
    KHAN LOSES TO MAYWEATHER IMO, how many times do I have to say it? It's still the most interesting match-up for me because Khan makes Floyd work harder than anyone else right now.
    Mayweather eats up orthodox plodders (Ortiz, Guerrero, Canelo etc etc) Khan has never fought that style and would cause Mayweather problems because he would have to WORK harder.

    Or maybe I could be a sheep and suggest an ageing Floyd KOs Khan with his brittle hands, average power and low volume! :dead

    tbh, I think Algieri does better against Mayweather than Khan, in terms of rounds won and not getting ktfo.

    Ha ha ha, fu¢k right off mate. So speed and volume count for nowt but 'being good' and 'puching hard' actually DO count for rounds won! I've heard it all now, night night.
