    How Much Sparring Has Khan Done With Pacquiao?

    Just wondering because of his upcoming fight with Judah. The more hes been in with Pac the lower Judahs chances are because of the similarity in styles(fast hands, good pop, southpaw stance, extraordinary athleticism)

    None for the Judah fight and btw apart from being southpaws they're not that similar.

      Apart from the speed and south paw stance, PAC is far different.

      Judah is extremely defensive now. Always has a low workrate too.

      Although working with PAC and doing well with him will get your speed up and really, help you a lot. Do well against PAC and you probably can do well vs anyone.

        Other than being relatively the same size and being known for their unusual speed and athleticism. Not going to find a better fighter to get you ready for Judah than Pacquiao.

            If I was talking about sparring Judah in preperation for Pac you have a point, but Im not. Sparring Pac helps prepare Khan for the speed and athleticism of Judah as well as helping him understand the angles from which the punches will be coming.

                Judahs only chance is landing a punch Khan doesnt see, the probability of that goes down dramatically with each round he has sparred with Pac. Khan doesnt need to work on outboxing Judah he only needs to be worried about Judahs speed/athleticism allowing him to catch Khan with something big.

                  I can agree attributes would have been a better choice of words.

                    Styles make fights though. PAC comes to you, throws combo's and has a relentless pace usually.

                    Judah fights on the back foot, defensive as you get now and counters, but throws very little.

                    I don't see how style wise PAC helps Khan, only the stance, speed and power, but bob are incredibly different.
