    Khan at this point. The guy's chin is a bit suspect, but Mayweather isn't the heaviest handed fighter out there either. Khan has great hand speed, and a lighting jab. In regard's to speed, it's close. Mayweather is superior in defense and ring generalship. Power wise, I would have go with Khan. He dropped Madiana in the first round with a sick body punch, something Mayweather was never close to doing.

    Overall, I'm obviously favoring Mayweather. I however would give Khan a 30% chance of winning, where I would only give pac a 15 to 20% chance. Mayweather will jab him to death, keeping him at a distance all not. By the 9th round Pac will have mentally given up and happy to fininsh the fight on his feet.

    Khans a joke and he knows it! He shows it everytime he moves up in comp and gets pasted. Then he gets a new trainer says he is now better than ever rinse repeat! Only thing that is different this time is he is not going to take the chance at fighting at elite level so he won't lose and will continue to try and annoy Mayweather into a fight. People are all saying Khans too fast well did that work for Garcia, Prescott, Peterson? These are all guys who are slower than Mayweather who were able to find him and yes I know Mayweather doesn't have amazing power BUT he can time better than all 3 put together which will lead to more connects on Khans fragile mandible.

    THERE IS A REASON KHAN FOUGHT ALEXANDER INSTEAD OF PORTER OR BROOK! You don't fight a EX CHAMP twice removed and then say you can fight the best. You best the man who beat the man and until I see Khan against Brook or hey maybe Porter than Brook he doesn't deserve the shot.

    Pacquiao, strong southpaw and has good power and good chin.
    Has only been knocked out to the head once in his career but has been dropped by body shots early in his career.

    khan and manny may as well make there own superfight on eddie hearns wembley card in the summer in UK cos neither of them is going to get there chance against floyd , that unbeaten record will not be put on the line against anyone that can punch .

    Lara and Andrade are the best bet at the moment.

    Lara would beat Floyd every time. But Floyd will never fight Lara. Had Lara beaten Canelo there would be a slim chance of a fight but due to him losing, Floyd would just brush it off remarking he couldn't beat Canelo whom Floyd beat pretty easily.

    Of course Manny is the safe pick, even though he is past his best. Khan has a 50-50 chance. I wouldn't be worried about Khan being in danger of getting knocked out as Floyd just cannot do that any more, but I think the fight could get to his head.
