Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: Khan is Right Behind Mayweather, Pacquiao

[PlayerKiller]

I hate to keep bringing it up but the best p4p fighters in the world avenge their losses, they don't keep finding excuses regardless of other the guys losses(Pacquiao-Morales after Morales loss to Raheem, Floyd-Castillo II).. yes, Prescott has loss a few fights but lets be honest, he was just robbed against Mccloskey and was CLEARLY beating Alvarado to a bloody pulp but just gassed out in the end, but too me that's why Presscott is always so dangerous because he comes out lets his hands go and gives it his all from round 1, perhaps even too much but thats why he beats Khan again imo because styles make fights and Khan is still jumping in with those flurries that got him KO'ed in the first place, it leaves him open to anyone with equal reach, timing or countering ability. Lamont is a good fighter but more often than not he's reluctant to let his hands go til he's hurt or in trouble but if he catches Khan with what he caught Ortiz with late he could hurt him..

What the he'll are you talking about prescott? Khan was hurt via a jab, his chin at 135 was bad. He got dropped by willie limond who has as many ko's as malliaggi.

Khan also did not run, when hurt he fought on.

Have you even seen the fight? You mentioned he was always w runner his whole life in another post, makes me feel you are ignorant and haven't seen his career.

He's not even top 10 P4P

He isn't in the Top 10 P4P for Ring Magazine... but I find it hard to not include him in the discussion. Compare his resume and boxing ability to others on the list and you could easily argue a deserved slot in the Top 10. You could argue Khan to be in there instead of Segura, Bradley, and Wongjongkam, Wlad doesn't even belong there as long as he's outweighing his opponents on average by 15-20-30-40 pounds. Great heavyweight... P4P? Not so much...

[JimmyMcNulty]

FMJ, Pacman and JMM are the top 3 imho. They are lightyears ahead of the rest.

Amir is a top 10 P4P lock after he beats Lamont.

[PRBOXINGCOTTO]

Khan is not up there hes another hatton how about you put him with cotto pac floyd and see what happens he losses all 3 by ko

Comparing Khan to Hatton might be the dumbest thing I've read on here.

Amir is behind Mayweather and Pacquiao that is true stalking them that is.

How can he be behind Mayweather and Pacquiao if he's not even in the top 10 to begin with.

Let's put Khan in the top 10. Now how is he #3, skipping Marquez, Martinez, Donaire, and Ward?

[FoxingFan2010]

In the Prescott fight the guy got caught--that can happen to anybody. But Khan's a good boxer man; he doesn't really get frustrated in the ring, always keeps his composure. Is he on Pac and Mayweather's level? I don't think so, he still needs to prove himself befoe he's compared to those guys.
