Who has the better chance to beat Floyd Maywaether Jr., Manny Pacquiao or Amir Khan?

[JDezi4]

pacquiao, has more power, better footwork, better combination fighter, southpaw stance, better chin and higher workrate.

But floyd won't fight pacquiao, so by default khan has the better chance, because there is a chance floyd might fight khan.

cop out!!!!!

Anyway, Khan is just as good a combination puncher as Manny (arguably better becuz he's faster).... They have about the same workrate, the only difference being that Khan actually works behind a jab sometimes, while Manny mainly only throws power punches. And as far as footwork... Not even close, Khan's younger legs r much quicker and better than Manny's.

And lets not forget defensively, Khan also wins.

Southpaw, Chin (even though this doesn't matter since Floyd's not a puncher anyway), and power, i'll give u.

I expect nothing less from the guy who thinks a jab isn't a punch. I know you're a hater but you seriously come off like an idiot. When is the last time Manny actually fought somebody?

When I have I said a jab isn't a punch.

Stop making things up.

You know as well as I know Floyd won't fight Pacquiao, so Khan by default has the better chance to beat Floyd.

Right now I would say Pacquiao has the better chance, but that's only because I have yet to see Khan fight as a WW. Manny looked like hot garbage against a shot to pieces Mosley in his last bout. Manny's best chance against Floyd will be early, other than that I would not be surprised if Floyd utterly embarrasses Pacquiao.

[ROSS CALIFORNIA]

At this point in time I say Khan. Last year I would have said Manny. I have Floyd a favorite over both. I don't think Manny will ever give in to Floyds demands, so right now the big fight is Floyd vs Khan.

When trying to assess the accuracy of punches omitting the jab is blatantly discounting it as a punch. Do you have any common sense? If not, I will not waste my time with you. Btw, Pacquiao doesn't appear to have the desire to fight Floyd or any other LIVE opponent at the moment. Pacquiao has fought nothing but stiffs recently. If he doesn't fight Floyd next, I will not be surprised to see him fight Paul Williams, Zab Judah, Alfonso Gomez, or yet another fighter coming off a terrible performance or a loss next. The beat goes on.

[Money_May]

If mayweather is in his prime and fully healthy and fit no1 beats him! Technically he's amazing and I'm a khan and may fan. And I like pacquiao as well I think he's a beast but Money May is the greatest fighter of my generation!

Pacquaio has easily the best shot to me, mostly due to him being a Southpaw. If Pac were a righty then Khan would have a better shot, Pac wouldnt be nearly as dominant, and Floyd & Pac wouldnt be in the same sentence. Most guys have major trouble with the Southpaw stuff

[PunchesNbuncheS]

PAC has the better shot to win against Floyd because hes a fast, durable southpaw who fights hard all 12 rounds, has a great chin, strikes in 5 or more punch combinations from all angles and is smarter than people give him credit for. But mostly its his southpaw stance. If pac had all the qualities I just mentioned but wasnt a southpaw then his chances of beating Floyd would diminish by alot.

Floyds defense was created to trouble and counter orthodox fighters since the majority of pro boxers are right handed and fight in a orthodox stance. Floyd Sr. invested alot of time and thought it out pretty well because he created a defense that against orthodox fighters is almost perfect. When a righty throws a right hook or a right cross he taught Jr. to roll the shot with his left shoulder while hiding his chin. If a righty throws a left jab he taught Jr. to either take a half step back and catch the shot with his right glove or to pull back with the jab and counter with a right hand over the jab. If a righty throws a left hook he taught Jr. to either duck completely out of the way or to put his right hand up to the right side of his face and roll with the shot to his left while his left arm is around his midsection with his left glove protecting his liver.

That all mixed in with his unreal reflexes, lightning speed and that he never really tires makes him really really difficult to beat especially if youre a orthodox fighter. But since PAC is a left handed southpaw all of Floyds defense doesnt work anymore because everything is backwards now. If he rolls in the direction that hes used to rolling to to avoid right hands or left hands hes rolling into PAC's punches because the angles are completely opposite now.

For proof about what Im talking about, go back and look up all of Floyds fights against southpaws. He gets hit more by them than he does against orthodox fighters because hes use to countering a certain way to where its wired into him to react without thinking really but against a southpaw it costs him because he gets hit cleanly too. Corley rocked him with a right hook from a southpaw stance because hes not use to a right hook coming from that angle, Judah caught him flush dead in the mouth because he rolled into a left cross when he thought he was avoiding it. **** even Sharmba Mitchell hit him and troubled him for a little while with that stance because of the angles and how they change.

Dont get me wrong Floyd adjusts and beat all the southpaws hes faced and the majority by digging deep and taking the fight to them. You see when he fights a southpaw he fights them a bit different. He fights behind a high guard and he tries to walk them down while squaring up more than were used to seeing him and he leads with super accurate right hands and does alot alot of body work. He tries to get close to them to eliminate the angles problem or he potshots them behind a high guard.

If Floyd was reversed and was a southpaw and did everything he does as an orthodox fighter but as a southpaw I would give PAC no chance to beat him because Floyd would have the perfect defense for him but since hes a righty it gets interesting.

PAC may not win the fight if it does happen but he has a way way better chance to beat Floyd than Khan. Khan has almost no chance honestly. The kid cant fight on the inside to save his life and cant take a punch (i know he survived Maidana but he still has a weak chin), the only chance Khan has is if he stays behind a jab all night long and somehow grows a granite chin over night because Floyd would KO the kid in my opinion.

yes khan is mayweather #1 fan he even remember the two times he meet him with tears in his eyes LOL

[Kagami Taiga]

definitely pac. i dunno whats everyone's infatuation with thinking unheralded, untested fighters are better than they actually are. yea pac has cherrypicked his way thru ww. but lets not forget he dismantled cotto, and just about everyone else hes ever fought, and there are some good/great names on that list. how the frik do u put khan over that just simply astounds me.
