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

Actually Amir Khan and Floyd are a lot alike. Fast hands, glass chins, and neither has ever fought a welterweight in their lives.

What a load of ****.

Mayweather has barely even had his chin checked, so your statement is ridiculous. And as for the second part - Salita was basically a drained WW, and Mayweather has fought genuine WWs.

i think khans got all the natural attributes (similar size, fast hands etc) to ape mayweather in sparring. I think its a decent choice for a cheif sparring partner. People forget that just because a fighter fights a certain way doesnt mean he always spars like that, or that he cant mimic another style

True right there... Also in sparring I both fighters wear head gear, thicker gloves, etc... making it easier for them to kinda go light on defense knowing their padded up.. In reality though, some fighters wont really take risking shots knowing that they aint padded..

The speed is there in sparring, but what about skill?

Amir will be a "Good help" for Pac in sparring but Amir will learn more with the experience that Packy will taught him in the ring.
