Comments Thread For: Arum Likes Khan-Pacquiao, Not Sure Khan Is Free For It

[hitking]

This is going to become a thing now..name drop a higher rated and more successul boxer then go and fight some mediocre opponent and say well none of the top guys want to fight me....I like Khan's abilities but the haymon jig is up, we've seen it with guerrero, thurman, broner, etc.

This isn't a "Haymon" thing. This is a "being a self entitled douche" thing. And an "I'm just as likely to get my ass kicked by a lesser known and lowering paying fighter" thing.

In the words of the wisest philosophers..."SO?" Make it happen! It's the biggest fight Manny can get other than Juan Manuel Marquez. Get the paper, get the win, and keep it movin'.

Agreed.

I'd like to see it. It'd be a really fun fight. Lots of arms flying and then someone gets hurt

[Sheppirino]

Khan would lose but with his hand speed it would be a fun fight to watch while it lasted. Hope they make it.

"extreme high risk/minimal reward. let floyd take that type of fight for once lol."

Now let that marinate...

MARCOS MAIDANA???

Well, I think Maidana is medium risk/low reward, and I dont think many look at Maidana as a particularly high risk fighter. Khan is absolutely high risk for both floyd and pac.

The man is longer, an outside fighter, has extremely fast footwork to get in and get out, faster combos, a piston-like jab, and now he is armed with spoiler-tactics to deal with his lack of inside game. Most fans should be able to see that those attributes are going to **** with all boxers who are non-punchers. Pac COULD hurt Khan but i dont consider him a puncher anymore, so if he cant hurt him, i think Khan just might have the edge overall in all of above tangibles. The thing is, if Pac wins (which i could also see happening), i doubt it will be based on the power difference, it'll probably be down to experience and craftiness winning close on points. And I think Khan has a easier time with floyd, who doesnt have his legs and his elite reflexes anymore.

Slim pickings for Pac but this would be an entertaining fight.

[hayZ]

What the **** am I reading?

How are people picking Khan to beat Pac? Khan claimed to give Pac problems in sparring but I every time I see footage of them sparring, Pac is landing clean shots on him and he wasn't even close to fighting at full capacity.

Khans last fight, do you seriously think he'd be able to engage with Pac at all? He beat Collazo and now people think he can beat Pac? What is going on? Khan would get KO'd and this is coming from a Khan fan.

Be realistic people, Pac has slipped but he just beat a very good fighter in Bradley, clearly. Bradley would beat pretty much any other 147'er outside of Pac/May clearly.

Pac, don't lower yourself to Floyd's level. Fuck Khan.

Yeah, keep making the fans happy fighting the Rios's and Clottey's of the world

[Risen]

Why no mention of Al Haymon in the article? That's a big hurdle to get this fight.

Dude.. Rios or Clottey would destroy Khan.

In the words of Tyler Woods (Lox ft. Tyler Woods) "Here we go...same 'ol ****..." Oscar needs to step up and challenge Arum. Canelo....NO, Garcia...NO, Khan...NO! Meanwhile Oscar keeps apologizing and promising an end to the cold war. Arum is not trying to end a war, he's trying to win a war! Someone better run tell Oscar before he gets played...twice!

Thtas what I'm saying. Arum's gonna match his stars in fights with Oscar's stars that he knows his stars can beat. Gb is going to be a damn feeder system for TR and Oscar gonna run around like a smiling fool talking bout how well oiled a machine they're running over there is
