Comments Thread For: Malignaggi: Floyd Beats Pacquiao, Not Sure About Khan

[Lou Cipher]

Khan beats Floyd 9 rounds to 3 anytime from 2014 to eternity and that's because of Amir not Floyd Roid. Floyd is exactly the same little poosy boy he has been since he hit the big time. Judges will probably still give it to Floyd in Vegas, but we will all know it was Floyds 4th loss.

the more i watch of floyd(earlier years included) the more confident i am that pacquiao would and will always beat him unless pacquiao is shot or the ko has put too much fear of getting countered in him

My only question is how does Paulie feel that he would have fared against Pac in a fight? He obviously thinks Pac is an easy opponent and he always thinks that the guys that he[Malignaggi] has lost to are nearly unbeatable, so it is an interesting question to pose.

I don't think Paulie makes it 4 rounds against Pac personally.

This phoney said he would beat pacquaio

What he says holds no weight

And all three would take Paulies belt and his girl. His JC Pennys canvas belt of course.

Boxing fans and so-called experts always give fighters too much credit or blame for their last fight. This situation is no different. Khan is the same guy who had his ass handed to him by journeyman, Julio Diaz. Even at the age of 38, Floyd will school Khan and beat him worse than he beat Alvarez.

I'm trying to figure out why Malignaggi's opinions are considered headlines around here every other day. The guy is an opinionated loudmouth. He has said this exact thing multiple times and this continues to apparently be breaking news.

Paulie also said Pac has no chance against Oscar.. Literally impossible.

I agree. I mean, yeah, I crap on Khan at every corner but honestly, the guy is not a "bum". He is a very skilled boxer and very athletically gifted but he is far from the boxing god that he believes himself to be. Mayweather, a pompous prick or not, is many, many levels above Khan and will ultimately expose him via accurate counter shots. He may not KO Khan but he will time him and catch him. If guys like Diaz can catch him, Floyd will surely adjust and take control. Judah was a fast mofo when he fought Floyd and it took several round to adapt but it will happen just the same against Khan and in a more brutal fashion because of how Khan leaves himself open when on offense.

Khan uses his distance and steps in firing shots with little head movement. A guy like Pac does the same thing but uses head movement and steps out at an angle after attacking and is always in position to strike. It's the subtle things that make guys successful at that top level and Khan only has the superficial details covered.
