Comments Thread For: Khan: Pacquiao is Tougher To Beat Than Mayweather

[ADP02]

I don't think Khan quite grasps how good Floyd really is. I think he will be in for a surprise if they ever get in the ring. Just ask Marquez how highly he rates Floyd. He's even said there's no point in fighting him again at any weight, just too good.

I'm sure Canelo thought exactly the same thing and you could see the realisation on his face of just what he was in the ring with halfway through the fight. Same as Guerrero, he thought he was gonna go in and rough Floyd up, different style to Khan yes, but he realised you can't do a lot of the things you think you can when you're in the ring with him. It doesn't work like that.

Marquez does not fight like Khan. Marquez is a smarter boxer than Khan but Khan is much more offensive minded than Marquez and has speed, combinations and movement that Marquez does not possess.

If Marquez had what Khan had, Floyd would have been in big time trouble. Take that to the bank!

Same goes with flat-footed Canelo who tried to outbox Floyd and flat-footed slow poke Guerrero.

but Khan has to improve in his ring IQ, have more fights at WW and hope that his chin doesn't get tested all that much.

Pacquiao is also going to be tougher to get in the ring than mayweather...

Khan has never had any issues with technical boxers. He just dismantled a 'slick' fighter with relative ease this Saturday. Plus his jab and speed would present serious problems for Floyd. Money as been susceptible to the straight left his whole career. Cotto broke his nose with the jab and even Maidana was able to land some telling jabs.

Amir has always had issues with guys who can **** because of his suspect chin. All it would take to change that fight would be one well-placed straight left from Manny and Khan would be on skates for however long he lasts after that.

He beat a black boxer ... Nothing "slick" about Devon's style. If you actually used your eyes and compared his style to style of some actual slick fighters you would see the difference. He's black and he's a southpaw ... He's not slick.

Khan is right, way easier to fight a guy who's boxing style replicates a school girl shielding herself from a attack from another school girl...than fighting someone who is coming at you throwing combination without fear of the consequences

Haha, Pac is tougher to beat than Floyd, but Khan wants Floyd. . . That should be classed as Cherrypicking

I have to admit khan looked good against Alexander he boxed very well the way I'm reading this article it sounds like he just wants to be in the ring with a big name I don't think anyone on this site gives khan a chance in this fight honestly what he should do is go back after Danny Garcia he was doing great just boxing Danny it's when he tried brawling with him is when he put his nightcap on if he justs boxes against Danny he wins every round if he boxes against mayweather he'll get embarrassed if he tries to get out of control and take risks he'll be on the canvas multiple times so better for him to take the crown back at 140

Julio Diaz outboxed khan for significant periods of that fight

This happens every time on nsb

Now all of a sudden khan is the second coming of sugar Ray Leonard

And Bradley because he got robbed which people ignore is now a bum

Great Post - the truth.

Khan beats a very mediocre Alexander and he is now the most dangerous man on the planet - at least for another 24 hours.

Bradley gets robbed and is now a feather fisted, hype job.

Thurman fails to KO Bundu and is now a total bum.

You just can't beat NSB logic!

Khan is saying FOR HIM Manny would be harder to beat than Floyd. And he's not lying, he's just breaking down the matchups.

If Cotto, Mosley, De La Hoya, and Hatton all said 'Floyd is an easier fight than Manny'... would they be wrong?

Good point. Not to mention, Manny was KOed a million years ago..and the punches were both illegal low blows... Morales won because of Winning gloves... Bradley win doesn't count and Marquez had Memo and muscles...

Mayweather lost to Castillo and Maidana I is debatable...
