I think Amir is judging by the way how pac fought Marquez the last time alone. He did not put analysis of the skills of Pac and Floyd into the mix. First Floyd doesnt have the balls to exchange the way marquez does with pac, Floyd doesnt have the chin like marquez, and marques was able to familiarize himself with pac's style and tactics after 3 fights -- something Floyd has no idea about.

But I agree that pac was lucky to get away with the win. I actually saw marquez winning by 2 points, but I can live with the win.

How do you know Floyd doesnt have a good chin, how often has he been dropped?

Once Floyd beats Pac ( if arum ever lets it happen) that will be the excuse. Pac was too small, he was to busy with politics etc

Nah, it's the beer bottle that hit him during the last fight. It lowered his punch resistance.

If Khan thinks Pac is that bad, he should call him out. Manny is ripe for the picking and it will earn him enormous amount of money.

He's right.

For once I kind of agree with Khan. Marquez fought an excellent fight, but Manny does appear to be slowing down. His highpoint was the Cotto win, but Margarito showed him getting tagged more and then the Mosley fight saw Manny unable to close the gap and this time out a very old Marquez was able to not only out move Manny, but also be quick enough to get combinations off without getting tagged in return.

Admittedly opponents are starting to wise up and make Manny chase them down, but Manny seems unable to adapt and his body appears to be breaking down. Once again he is complaining about cramps. The blueprint first implemented by Morales is being implemented by others and Marquez appears to have mastered it.

Floyd would slow Manny down and keep him at bay with his potshots. Floyd has underestimated power and would make Manny hesitant to throw. I would have picked the Manny that beat Cotto to give a pick 'em fight, but I think Manny is slipping. This is the juncture when his powers start to wane.

I think it's more to do with styles making fights than anything else. Marquez has always given him hell.

Both Cotto and Hatton opened up against Pacquaio and got taken apart. They both walked on to shots and in turn this made Pacquiao's punch power look sensational. Against more cautious fighters, Pacquiao's power has looked ordinary..

He was rattled many times over with a good clean punch. He hast been dropped but that wont say much about his chin, especially when he barely gets hit due to his defensive mentality. In short, his chin is not that tested. We all all see what happened in rd 2 vs Mosley - man he was hurt, and if not for holding on to mosley, he would have lost his balance and dropped.

Floyd is just as good if not a better counterpuncher than Marquez, has better speed, bigger punch, and the last time he was rocked was against Mosley, and this was the first fight Mosley had had right after his destruction of Margarito, right after being rocked (not dropped lets clarify there) he went right after Mosley, so how does he not have the balls to go after Pac, and as for taking the shots that Marquez did he wouldn't even have to do that seeing how he's the best defensive fighter out there today, if Manny got tore up by Marquez, Mayweather eats him alive

Does anyone else think Khan is a cunt for this? Ok kool you're being honest..but this fool wants two things. A payday against Floyd and a cheap pop from the fans who he hopes will be like "yay amir khan saying what we all think."
If i'm Manny i tell him to gtfo of my camp. Some "friend"..but then again, anything Khan does pisses me off

Agreed. A friend doesn't turn his back on his friend when his friend is facing adversity. If this is how he felt, he should have said so to Manny privately.

Khan said - "Manny wasn't at his best" would have been a more accurate title.

Agreed. Before you comment on the subject at hand make sure you read exactly what he said.
I say good on Khan for being honest.
