Khan vs MAB - debate

[dr.archives]

I think there were some really good points here concerning MAB. He’s my favorite fighter so I’m bias but I think this will either be a decision for Khan (due to his jab and/or movement) or a knockout for MAB. I do think he wanted a glorified sparing session in his last two fights and we don’t really know what he has left in the tank. The original poster mentioned he was average against Manny but that’s average against the best P4P in the world and Khan is no Pacquiao. Added to that, I thought the fight with JMM was close and even if it wasn’t, Khan is no JMM. Granted that was 1 ½ to 2 years ago but Khan hasn’t been in with this level of opposition and most of Khan’s previous opponents left a lot to be desired. One of the moderators on this site mentioned a while back that he though MAB was maybe playing a bit of opossum and letting people think he was a lot older and more worn-out than what he actually is.

I think we'll all know pretty quick if MAB comes out blasting like he has fresh legs. This would be a very exciting turn of events if it occurs.

I have a feeling he will come out looking for a knockout. He has gone the distance in his last two major fights (again against the #1 and #2 fighters in the world!) so he could last but I don’t think he will for several reasons: 1) he must know that if it’s a close decision it won’t go to him and 2) remember how tired he was at the end of the third Morales fight? I think we’ll see him going for a knockout and I hope (no offense to the Khan fans) that we see another Mzonke Fana. As an aside, I’m not comparing Fana to Khan, it’s more I’m hoping for a quick knockout.
