Comments Thread For: Roach: Pacquiao-Khan May Bore - I Want Danny Garcia

[aboutfkntime]

People **** on khan ...he can be a prick but his resume compared to all guys active now, only Floyd and PAC are past him...he and Bradley are close tho

Stylistically Garcia is tailor made for PAC.... Flat footed, stands square lacks consistent head movement, jab is so so and loops his shots.... Still top notch fighter from 140-147 tho

Another good post TRP !

Funny that the good posters are in the red.

Red = the truth hurts

When have 2 fast fighters who both have an in and out style led to a boring fight? Pacman should best khan but roach is afraid just in case khan pulls the upset, it will ruin roach's legacy as a coach!

I think Danny has a better chance to beat Manny than Khan does. Danny fights to the level of his opposition and has a solid chin. Khan has speed and length and could box to a win but his weak chin would do him in.

No chance, no left-handed orthodox gonna beat Manny. Manny has been with ATG level left handed orthodox boxers and destroyed them all. it will be K.O in late round if Danny face Pacquiao.

If you want to beat manny counter him with your right hand like Marquez or if your reach long enough you can corner him also with your right hand like Morales and Floyd did.

I'm surprised veteran like you doesn't know this. Maybe your hate for manny Bias your opinion

Roach knows deep down inside Khan cud potentially have Pacs number

He has seen them spar many times

Its a risky fight, as much as Khan haters want to deny

danny would ko ******* but im curious to know why they would duck khan even tho I think khan beats pac too but more of a 60/40 fight

You must have been smoking da good-good or something because Pac would slaughter Garcia and Khan. Garcia doesn't have the speed and with the way he punches, Pac would be able to destroy him with straight lefts.

Very risky fight. I really don't know how constant Pac can keep up his footwork anymore. I feel like it could look like Maidana vs Khan, with Pacquiao eating combo's but pressing forward looking for a good shot. I would love this fight if I knew Khan would fight like he used too, like with Maidana, Judah, Paulie. I'm not saying reckless, but going back to using his offense at a high rate to completely overwhelm the opponent. That is what made Khan a star. People hate on his chin and yes it is vulnerable, but he had taken some vicious shots over the years and recovers pretty fast. I don't want to see this fight though because Khan has already said "Mayweather showed how to beat Pacquiao". Nobody wants to see Khan fight a gutless fight like that especially with what he is capable of. Honestly a jab, hold, jab, run type of fight would probably wind up in Pacquiao's favor because Khan is never going to really hurt him. Khan's best chance is do what he does best and overwhelm Pac with combo's like he used to.

Also if Haymon is looking to make it to the next level he needs to make risky unorthodox decisions. Like Arum has to do every now and then. These major risks every once in a while produce something amazing. Garcia is tailor made for Pacquiao's offense. With that being said he stay's relatively calm while getting pummeled, is very patient and throws his money shot (left hook) every chance he gets. Some think one perfect Garcia left hook could put Pac to sleep. I'm on the other side and think Garcia would just be hitting Pac's gloves and have his punches get deflected by the top of this head. I don't think it is likely he will find his chin, but he might. And a fight of this magnitude, Haymon could walk away with a huge victory. The technical advantage Garcia would have is youth, size, and could very effectively use the Marquez/Morales approach with fighting Pac. That approach is establish range, cement your feet, and surgically counter attack Pac's attack. Garcia has already shown he is good at timing opponents.
So let's get this straight. Garcia, the most accomplished fighter under Haymons banner under Khan, also who has a KO win over Khan should be jumping at the opportunity and payday to fight Pacquiao. This is a big risk, but let's be honest, either Garcia jumps for Pacquiao and probably loses or jumps for someone else down the road, loses,(errol spence) and never see's title status again.

Idk even know how any of this stuff works... Red k...green k ...I love talking boxing

Been between sites.... Here, maxboxing, old ESB forums for years

A younger version of Manny would run circles around Garcia.


This older version of Manny is a 50/50 fight against Garcia. Garcia's counter right hand is very much overlooked on this forum. He has hurt and dropped guys with his right hand.
