Khan Trying To Be Like Pacquaio/Mayweather Hybrid : Must Read

[Ikone]

Anyone else notice the clearly apparent "Pacman" traits that Khan tries to copy?

1. He wore yellow Cleto Reyes similar to what was worn by Pacquaio against Mosley.

2. He was introduced as "The fighting pride of Bolton, England" compared to Pacquaio who is "The fighting pride of the Philippines"

3. He would throw his arms in the air like Pacman

4. He was ****ing his gloves together.

5. He was touching gloves with Peterson, Like Pacman did alot with Mosley.

6. He was going on the ropes like Pacquaio did against Margarito, Against the advice of Freddie Roach.

Khan also tried to copy Mayweather:

1. In round 1 : Khan took advantage of Peterson when Peterson thought that the referee told them to break, "Protect yourself at all times", This was like Mayweather taking advantage of Ortiz.

2. Khan used the shoulder roll on the ropes multiple times, Mayweather does this all the time, Its not exclusive to Mayweather but he does it best.

3. Khan would hold Petersons gloves between his arm and torso to prevent punches, This is what Mayweather did when he was stumbled by Mosley.

Have I missed anything?

Khan is trying to combine the defense of Mayweather and the offense of Pacman and it doesnt really work well.

I noticed this since the Malignaggi fight.

I noticed that as well. Mayweather and Pacquiao are maybe his idols.

Nice observation.

[-Huey-]

You forgot about the gift decision he got against Maidana, similar to the 3 gifts PAC got against JMM.

So I agree, Khan is a copy cat.

add another:

[Bravado]

He would hold down his head like Floyd does a lot.


In one point during the match Khan had pretty much turned his body towards the ropes like Floyd did against Hatton, the move that resulted in him getting a point deducted for "hitting floyd behind the head"

Also, the Pushing. Floyd isn't the only one who does it but he does it a lot and Amir did it as well

Your forgetting the close SD Erik Morales got against Pacman, Similar to what Peterson got against Khan.

Khan is at the same stage of his career as Pacman was when he lost to Erik Morales. He will go on and get bigger and better, He is exciting to watch, win, loose or draw and his fans will stay with him throughout.

[Pretty Boy32]

He's obsessed with Floyd, he wants to be him.

khan loves floyd u can see it all over his style, hes just not as natural at it as floyd is. floyd looks like freaking neyo from the matrix compared to these fighters
