Thurman/Garcia and Brook/Spence??
I mean, we need to keep it real right now. All these young, legit welterweights are doing battle with each other and the best team Pacman did was drag Khan out of oblivion to paste him?
The fight is about as good as, (surely no better than) Porter/Berto. 2 unnecessary fights with the difference of course being one is coming with a hefty price that it's not worthy of.
Same poster who say nothing when these so-called young prime fighters are fighting Karass, Diaz, Malignaggi, Morales, Salka, Judah, Collazo,...
Irrelevant poster. Nothing to take seriously.
The guy is still salty over Pacman fighting Margs, who was 17lb bigger at fight night and left the Pacman's body sore for months. That's why there are stupid, so-called boxing fans in this sport. Who the hell would cherrypick Margs? It's so silly. Doe.

Hmm, but they fought each other, and one fought Porter, the other fought Khan, (when he was something and Mattysse too). Sooooo...............wait. Didn't this crap fight get canned??
Come on, man. The dude has been fighting for 22 years. And he's 38 freaking years old. THIRTY-EIGHT. Most of us motherf**kers will barely be able to make it through a single pickup game of basketball at the local rec center when we're 38.
His last 3 fights -- one against the best boxer of the generation, the others against a consensus top five in the world welter and a consensus top ten in the world welter.
Now he's fighting boxrec's 4th rated welter in the world.
Did I mention that he's 38??? Jeezus.
Pac is the number 1 in the division followed by Thurman. Beating a guy whom needed the judges help just to get a draw against as Hearn put it "A shot featherfisted blown up lightweight" that too well over 2 years doesn't make you a killer.
Another typical Khan hater who can't stand the fact that Khan is still getting in huge fights. Pacman vs Khan is a dream fight that will only provide huge entertainment for the fans for however long it lasts. It's between two of the best welterweights in the division in which is a very stacked division. What's the problem here?

All of these fights are relevant in determining who the next welterweight king will be.
Only if Khan wins, imo. I don't think Bob puts manny in with a pbc fighter he has a chance at losing to. I think he does the crawford fight before he goes that route.
i really hope people dont score fights like this...i saw some ward fanatics saying ward won round 1 against kovalev...i knew they would never admit that ward lost after seeing that
Well it's not impossible. If all you do is land one punch that wobbles a guy but then he schools you and punishes you the rest of the round, you still lost the round. Kov dominated rd 1 though.
Should have voted for Crawford then. I think it's decent. Pacquiao isn't a whirlwind anymore, he might have a difficult time stopping Khan although I think he'll hurt him plenty, and if Khan is busy he can bank rounds, even ones where he gets wobbled a bit.
I really want to see the Crawford fight though, win or lose that will do wonders for the sport. Young guys need to get the hype. Crawford better show up to fight though. It will separate him from the crop.

I voted it should be free. I never buy fights anyway. I just watch them for free a week later on cable channels I already pay for. No Mayweather or Pacquiao fight has been free for many years I though some of Mayweather's fights should have been free also. As long as they can make more money with PFV than free they will usually make it PFV. Khan and Pacquiao both have lots of fans so this fight will probably make good money. It isn't as important as Thurman vs Garcia was. Pacquiao is a world champion and Khan is a top 10 contender with lots of fans especially in the UK, It is an important fight.
Pac should be right in the mix trying to fight the likes of Thurman, Brook, Spence etc.
He just beat Bradley and Vargas back to back, so he's still operating on a pretty high level but i suppose it's just about taking the best low risk/high reward fights at this stage.
