Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Khan and Thurman Would Beat Pacquiao!

[PAC-BOY]

Paulie is now becoming the most interesting man alive

[MisanthropicNY]

Paulie wouldn't be saying this if Pacquiao was on Showtime/Golden Boy...

Khan should be fighting Thurman, their both mandatories for Floyd. What better way to see who gets the champ. It's looking like Manny should be fighting Danny Garcia next. I don't think Manny will be fighting a true welterweight anytime in the near future. Freddie has been saying this since the Bradley fight this year:

April 17th, 2014

Roach feels that the 35-year-old Pacquiao will do much better at light welterweight where he previously knocked out Ricky Hatton in 2009. The only fighters that Pacquiao has knocked out in the welterweight division were Miguel Cotto and a weight-drained Oscar De La Hoya, who was at the very end of his career when he took that fight.

“Manny Pacquiao – he’s not a great puncher at 147 like everyone thinks,” Roach said to maxboxing. “Everyone says he’s not getting the knockouts like with Hatton and those knockouts were at 135 and 140. I’m going to ask him if we can fight at 140 because that’s a better weight for him. He has no trouble making 140…he’s fighting these bigger, stronger guys. Bradley was at least 160 going into that ring.”

Roach might want to run this by Pacquiao’s promoter Bob Arum, because I have a feeling that he’s not going to like the idea of Pacquiao moving down to 140, where Arum is thin in terms of having big name fighters in his stable.

Paulie is on a roll!!!

[Straightener]

manny even now beats both khan and Thurman pretty easy


porter slapped paulie ****** he is talking nonsense

[ChampBox@PR]

Khan simply gets KTFO by Pacquiao. every equation results in Khan getting blasted by Pac.

Thurman would be a tough fight, because of Thurman punching power and ability to box. Pacquiao wins a decision with angles and speed

[Divine Hammer]

That ''Sparring Partner'' whiped Pacquiao in sparring sessions and according to people in the wild card gym, Khan also dropped Manny couple times in sparrings.

wasn't it khan and only khan who said this???

[g-wane]

Paulie has officially lost it.

Thurman, due to his punching power would have a chance, but I think he'd just be way in over his head. The southpaw stance, the hand speed, foot work, and non stop punching of Pacquiao he's never seen before. He wouldn't have a clue on how to combat that. I think Pac would decision him.


Khan even against this Pacquiao, would probably be rendered unconscious. If Danny Garcia can punch between his flurries.... Well, that's all we need to know. Khan just doesn't have the ring IQ to beat a fighter on the level of Pacquiao. His defense is pitiful. And his chin is a joke. A prime Pacquiao would stop him within 3. Right now, Pac would probably catch up to him and grind him down late.

You act as if Pac is the only fast south paw, who throws a lot of punches ..
How do you know Thurman has not faced a fast south paw? that what the amateur experience is for.

[FrankieClutch]

I'd give Thurman a solid chance, but I think Pac handles Khan decisively

Is it me or does paulie always pick the guy that he got his ass whooped by to win. I mean just because you got your ass whooped by khan doesn't mean that khan will do the same to other fighters.
