Comments Thread For: Amir Khan Will Be a Core Sparring Partner For Pacquiao

[BillyBoxing]

People, Roach is using Khan becuase like Mayweather they have similar speed, reach, and maybe strength but what is most important is KHAN SPARRED WITH MAYWEATHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Khan has a better chance of emulating Mayweather with his quickness, reach, power than ANY sparring partner Roach might also get.

Real talk,that's all I mean.
You'll never find a sparring with all Floyd qualities.

Bottom line,Kahn is really really fast,with really long arms,moves a lot(dont brawl),and use a lot his jab.
Manny with Kahn wil be prepared for Mayweathers speed and reach,but not May's defense,not May's smartness and even power.

Roach should not sleep on Mayweather's power,size and workrate,it could be a fight.
Mayweather is bigger than Kahn and punch harder than what people think.
They should get Kahn,but also a true Philly Shell's defensive decent fighter and a big explosive dude ala Porter.

Cuz if Mayweather can clown Manny,then he will make it fight,and Manny will have a bigger,fast skilled fighter on his arse.
It could be the moment where he can **** up Mayweather.

THEY SHOULD NOT PREPARE MANNY FOR A DANCING SESSION.

hype to get Tomato Khan into the US Market. England doesnt want this bum and neighter do we. He is so fake. He acts like he is humbel, tries to appeal to Brits, tries to appeal to ******s, and now trying to appeal to Americans. Go away Tomato Khan we have enough over hyped fighters we dont need another one. Paper champ.

******est thing I've heard all morning.

I've heard somewhere before that this kid had the wrong attitude and was ****y. From what I'm hearing lately, he seems sincere and humble, especially for a world champion. Did it all change after he got knocked out by Prescott? After he met Roach?
He might not be as flashy or have a decent chin as Naseem Hamed but it seems he gots the talent.

He probably relized how little he knows and that you can't fall into your own hype.

Amir Khan is no were near the skills of Mayweather....

[S.G.]

Khan has the speed, reach and quick feet to be valuable in some areas but I don't think he has the actual technique to emulate Floyd properly.

guys, sparring is preparing for the worst scenario, khan is the fast like may, and its not like mayweather will come to fight, i think the fight will last 12 rounds, floyd knows how to run

Nobody is.

Amir Khan was not what I expected.

If they can get Amir to be defensive and counter while sparring, then it will only be training Manny for the speed and reach of Mayweather.

Maybe that's what Roach wants.

[SceneSpectator!]

Nice choice for Amir, aside from his comparative reach and height with PBF, he can also emulates the speed of PBF! For power punching, I think Porter still be useful for this! and chicken running, Pac needs Calderon!

I don't see why Khan's gonna be a core sparring partner. His style isn't anything like Mayweather's. Maybe with the exception of hand speed.
