    Khans reach is around 72" aswell, So Im sure Freddie will work up a game plan get Manny adjusted prior to fight night.

      You're assuming he can control Floyd. BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG assumption there.

        if he moves to Floyd's right, then that plans into Floyd's hands because he will then throw one of the best shots against a southpaw and that is the straight right hand. that reach advantage will really play a role in this fight.

          Khan's speed is up there as well, though I think Floyd's arm length (26") is a fair bit longer than Amir's.

              manny will have a very hard time dealing with floyds straight right hand
              yeah, floyd was money at 135 with his lead straight right hand...just as manny is money with his lead straight left...

              but the reach will help floyd land his more i believe... but manny's movement is awkward, which is going to help him a great deal

                He doesnt even need to run,he can stand there and block Manny whilst countering.Floyd's in a different league

                  If Pac cannot neutralize Floyd's jab he's in for a long night, he can possibly get busted open.

                    khan is 5 9 or 10 with 72inch reach and speed. maybe that's why he is the chief sparring partner

                      Its close enough, and at the moment the best sparing partner that has decent speed.

                      No your right, but it gives Pac a better feel or sense of distance to Floyds jabs.
