    Pensacola in the house would have tapped Calzaghe in his prime.

      Manny could probably floor Amir with a jab.

        First off Khan isnt even going to give Pac any work..because Roach wot want Pac to hurt him...and Bradley is a a guy who NEVER stops throwing punches.....Floyd is a guy who RARELY throws punches.

        Roach is a grade A Dip**** ******.

        Has he ever heard of Forbes or Guzman.

        But from what I have read in this thread from *******s and company, your opinions don't matter if you have never trained boxers before and you can't know more than Freddie The Joke Coach Roach.

        So my eye doctor had to have had eye surgery done on herself in order to do an eye surgery on me. Even if she studied everything there is to know about it, for over 10 years she still does not have the right to talk about eye surgery and what she knows about it and/or do eye surgeries on patients.

        Nice one guys
        lol

        so its ok by you calling your optometrist grade A dip**** ******? based on your opinion...
        and you're about to get surgery with said eye doctor..

        what does that make you?

          Bu Roach picks a VOLUME puncher like Bradley to emulate a guy who doesnt even want to throw punches..........

          And Khan a glass chinned up and comer..who he wont let Pac hurt........

          ******.
          Khan can hold his own trust me, and take full blooded combinations off pac when they have them big dumb head guards on!!!! So dont you worry about pac not bein able to heavy spar. not to mention khans technique and sharpness will help pac somewhat

            why go there? no need! and theres no point gettin your knickers in a twist when someone talks bad about khan and slaggin someone like Calzaghe off. Everyones entitled to their opinion, he's on top isn't he? He might just shove their words down their throat in the coming years.

              Guzman and Forbes are good to emulate Floyd's style but they wouldn't accept, Roger and Floyd Sr. did a lot for them. They're not traitors.

                Haha, you guy's may think these guy's arn't the best sparring partners(and I agree), but think of how this is gonna change Khan. He's gonna gain alot from this experiance. He might even come out a better, differnt fighter.

                  I think that most people doesn't realize is that NO ONE can actually be like Mayweather but what Roach is doing (and he is doing just great) is to work with specific attributes and applying his strategy with "quick fisted fighters"...

                  I think that his ways of teaching is really conducive to the way Pacquiao works, his psyche, his body...and not only Pacquiao believes him, he adores him. Pacquiao is a tireless worker and competitor and Roach can see that in him.

                  Having said that, the contrasting styles between the Pacquiao and Mayweather really pose for the classical fighters and "how to beat" both. This would mark as something really substantial and to the degree or magnitude of what is at stake in this level of boxing is astounding and mostly intruiging.

                  I don't care much for the drama but for purely the technicalities of both fighters' approach and style: The Pugilist boxer in Mayweather and the Pugilist Slugger in Pacquiao.

                  I couldn't believe how Pacquiao transformed from a relatively tactical fighter from the outside and now into a full blown slugger with a twist. He isn't just a rock-em-sock-em robot but with a strategy.

                  Having said that, Mayweather would still pose great challenges....namely, his jabs, footwork, shoulder rolls, and great defensive skills all capped by his squirrel-like quickness and timing.

                  My take is how Pacquiao can:

                  • cut Mayweather off the jab
                  • counter jabs
                  • assault Mayweather with his quick footworks

                  And I think Pacquiao would have to:

                  • use the right hook AND left cross/hook a lot inorder to counter off the jab
                  • use footwork and cutting angles outside of Mayweather's left jab
                  • lateral movements and move to Mayweahter's right cross
                  • the KILLER LEFT (the cross, the hook and the new famed HOOKERCUT)
                  • use jabs more

                  I think those are the keys. While with Mayweather, I think he would look for:

                  • Catch Pacquiao flatfooted with a jab AND double jabs
                  • Right cross
                  • lateral movements mainly to his LEFT and Pacquiao's RIGHT side
                  • Jab and clinch
                  • Work him tirelessly from the outside
                  • lunging left hooks

                  Having said those, this would be a real megafight, but I am also reserving myself towards a disappointing fight should one of them could actually dominate this fight. It isn't far fetch.

                  Either fighter can in one fight.

                  Here's to a great fight and hopefully entertain us to no limit! I am a Pacquiao fan obviously but I am also a Mayweather fan in terms of technicalities. I love Ali's style, the jab and the cross, the footworks.

                    Amir And Pac going at it with full speed?!?!
                    Ive seen a video of them two sparring about a year ago when Khan first came to the wild Card. He impressed me, and stood his own against a whirl wind of shots by Pac. I can only imagine how these two do now. Somebody better have footage of this ****e.
                    P.S this can only be good for Khan too!!

                      As soon as Khan got KO'd by breidis prescott he moved to train in LA under freddie roach. Roach put KHAN IN SPARRING with MANNY PACQUIAO straight away. Roach even said Khan would get the BETTER of PACQUIAO in the early rounds but then pacquiao takes over in the latter rounds. HERE IS A LINK: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipsyWURr1yU

                      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7OhC69fcsAE Go to 4:17 and listen till the end. Roach says he doesn't tell manny to hold back on any1.

                      So before you spout your bull**** actually back it up
