    I suspect so too but i don't expect a whitewash from beginning to end.

    Something about Marquez's style really bothers Pacquiao, so even at this weight I expect Marquez to be in the fight for the first half of the fight. I then expect him to get stopped by round 9 or 10.

    Kind of the way i see it. nap and tuck affair until Pacquiao's power starts taking its toll. I hope there are no bad cuts, especially from headbutts.

    oh yeah, what STYLE does Khan have exactly? Guy overcommits on every combination, he's a sucker for a right hand, his offensive and defensive strategies are predicated on the modern amateur leap and nothing more... Floyd will take a couple of rounds to adjust to his affletisizm and then, because he knows how to actually box, he will either pick him apart brutally or take him out with a perfectly timed right hand... Mayweather has been in there with several leap amateurs as a matter of fact

    They fought 3 years ago at 130. I think at this weight and their past performances, they are different FIGHTERs than they were. Pacquaio will get the job done.

    Pacquaio wouldn't go life and death with a Baby Bull.

    Khan will do better than Ortiz did.

    For Floyd a long LAYOFF = a good way to avoid Pacquaio at all costs, and be able to come back, fight a handpicked opponent, without the DUCKJOB seem too obvious.

    If he sticks around and fights in May '12, it will be harder for him to fight anyone other than the best p4p FIGHTER in the world.

    He is going on a LONG vacation, so his hustle will seem fresher if he decides to comeback.

    khan is not as physical a fighter as ortiz, he will attempt to win with skill from the outside so it will be a completely different fight.

    Yes it will be a completely different style of fight.

    I still pick Floyd to win, but dealing with khan's hand speed won't be easy for him.

    If people would be feeding Khan to let's say a Pacquaio, they would say it would be like leading a lamb to SLAUGHTER.

    Mayweather? Same thing.

    Not a viable or sellable fight.
